Stress Management Therapy

Stress, or the bodily reactions and response to emergency or difficult situations, is a natural instinct that is embedded within all individuals in this world. A small dose of stress not only helps the body in functioning perfectly, but also enables an individual to be most creative and efficient at work when in stress. However, when stress becomes too much, the body reacts in an extremely negative manner, leading to numerous disorders and diseases, besides disrupting normal functioning and activities of life.

Stress Management Therapy exists to help counter such effects of stress. It refers to the techniques employed by psychiatrists, doctors, and therapists, besides others, who help stressed individuals to relieve their stress, tensions, and resume their lives in a normal, stress-free way.

Extreme bodily reactions to extreme levels of stress can not only hamper one’s professional life, but also disrupt the social and personal life of an individual. Besides personal problems, extreme stress also causes different physiological and psychological disorders in the body such as anxiety, chronic headaches, depression, withdrawal symptoms, nausea, phobias, blood pressure, heart impairments, and many more. This is where Stress Management Therapy comes in.

The various techniques that can be employed in a Stress Management Therapy session include relaxation, interaction, biofeedback, cognitive behaviour therapy, exercises, such as muscle stretching exercises, yoga, meditation, time management techniques, and many more.

However, the most important feature of Stress Management Therapy is identification of the cause or particular stress triggers and investigation of the appropriate stress management remedy for them.

In Stress Management Therapy, counsellors, psychiatrists, and others analyse the causal factors or roots of the stress, understand fears, interact with individuals, and finally, treat the individual with some Stress Management Therapy techniques. By gaining an insight into the root or core of the problem, counsellors help in either removing the stressful situation or cause, or assist the individual to explore ways to adapt to the stressful situation in a much more relaxed manner.

Reducing household chores is a form of Stress Management Therapy that can also help to reducing some work pressures and burdens. Allotting work at home among members and sticking to a strict timetable can make work enjoyable, relaxed, and stress-free.

Stress Management Therapy is today an important part of our lives. In a world of stiff competition and increased work loads, Stress Management Therapy is a boon that helps to ease our tensions and let us live comfortably and happily.
