Stress Management

Stress is a psychological and physical reaction to demanding situations that go beyond our perceived ability to cope. We are more likely to suffer stress when our resources such as time, knowledge, skill, or money become limited. Symptoms of stress include overreacting, finding it difficult to slow down, feeling agitated, burning disproportionally large amounts of nervous energy, as well as feeling intolerant, hurried and touchy. If you are experiencing any of the aforementioned symptoms, your stress levels have probably crossed the normal limit and it is time to take the reins of your life back!
Stress management involves using various techniques and coping strategies to manage your overall stress levels, improve how you react to stressful things in your life, and build resilience.
The Psychologists at Sehat Psychology can provide you with quick and effective techniques to manage stress. These techniques may include time management, lifestyle enhancement, improving sleep, learning to delegate, cognitive restructuring, perspective taking, relaxation skills and learning ways to manage work without it cribbing into your personal life. A stress reduction plan will be devised with you to assist you to reduce the stress levels that you experience and cope better with stresses that cannot be avoided.
