Managing Stress • Achieving Relaxation • Creating Balance

Managing Stress • Achieving Relaxation • Creating Balance

Do you find yourself lying awake at night with a thousand different thoughts cluttering your mind, trying to come up with workable solutions to seeming unmanageable problems?  

I empathize completely.  And I can help.  There's no mistake:  Even in the best of times, life can be stressful, but especially now, the current economy has hit us hard.  If you're feeling as if life should not be this hard, I can help.

How?  Well, I attack stress a little differently:  I've found that, for the best long term results, we must alleviate the symptoms while also addressing the actual root of what's causing the stress in the first place.  Otherwise, the effects of the stress reduction are short-lived.  

Regarding our stressors, the questions must be answered:  "Is this acceptable to me as a way of life?  Can I see myself feeling this same way a month from now ... a year from now ... five years from now, or must changes be made?"

Whether the source of your stress is health, work, financial, or family related, the signs are the same:  Difficulty in relationships with those close to you, sleeplessness, changes in your eating patterns, a lack of energy, and more.

As a therapist, I know how toxic stress can be to a relationship, indeed, it's where I look first to examine issues, particularly in the area of intimacy.  

Let me help you measure your stress and learn a very effective means of managing it, and truly relaxing, through mindfulness and living in the moment.

Sources of stress range from the truly mundane (like commuting!) to extreme situations such as losing a spouse (the most stressful any of us can endure).  

The fact is however, these stressors are part of life and I can help you learn how to fully relax through them so that you can approach the actual stressor head on and do what you must to resolve it; it's paramount to your emotional and physical health.

I'm available for personal consultation; call me today to get started.  I can help you:

  • Learn how to fully relax; this is a skill you can develop
  • Sleep more soundly
  • Establish a clear understanding of your stress and it's source in your life
