Questions to ask yourself

Do you dismiss stress as temporary ("I'm just really busy right now") but can't recall the last time you relaxed?

Do you consider stress a normal part of your work or home environment ("It's always hectic around here") or attribute it to your personality ("I'm naturally anxious")?

Do you blame stress on others or external situations, or see it as just a normal part of life?
If you find yourself answering "yes" to any of these, you might be dealing with chronic stress due to how you handle life's demands.
Effective stress management therapy aims to help you feel more balanced rather than constantly under pressure. While practical approaches like keeping a stress journal can be beneficial-tracking when you feel stressed, identifying potential triggers, and noting your physical and emotional responses-my focus as a therapist goes beyond merely suggesting lifestyle changes.
Although regular exercise, effective time management, a nutritious diet, sufficient sleep, and reducing the intake of caffeine and alcohol can contribute to better stress management, my primary goal is to truly address the root causes of your challenges. By identifying and understanding the deeper issues that contribute to your situation, we can work together to implement more profound and lasting changes. If stress originates from deeper problems, simply altering lifestyle habits may not lead to significant improvements, which is why I extend my expertise to exploring the underlying causes of the problem.
