Stress Management Therapy
Everyone encounters stress during their lives at one point—never-ending bills, demanding schedules, work, and family responsibilities—and that can make stress seem inescapable and uncontrollable.
How Therapy Helps Stress Management
Stress management skills are designed to help a person take control of their lifestyle, thoughts, and emotions and teach them healthy ways to cope with their problems.
The first step in stress management is identifying your stressors. While this sounds fairly easy, chronic stress can be complicated and most people don’t realize how their habits contribute to their stress. Maybe work piling up isn’t from the actual demands of your job, but more so from your procrastination. You have to claim responsibility for the role you play in creating your stress or you won’t be able to control it. A therapist can help you accurately pinpoint the cause of you stress and make plans to reduce it.

Strategies for Stress Management A Therapist Can Help You With
Once you’ve found what causes your stress, you must focus on what you can control. Eliminate the realistic stressors and develop consistent de-stressing habits. Instead of watching TV or responding to texts in bed after work – take a walk, or read a book. Maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and getting enough quality sleep, will ease feelings of stress and help you relax. A therapist can help you develop these routines and keep you accountable for them until it is easy.
Don’t feel like you have to solve your stress on your own. Reach out to your family and friends. Whether you need help with a problem or just need someone to listen, find a person who will be there to positively reinforce and support you. A therapist can help you build and maintain a support group that is most efficient for you.
