Understanding Stress

Understanding Stress

What is Stress?

Stress is your body's natural response to pressure from challenging or demanding situations. While some stress can be motivating, chronic or excessive stress can negatively impact physical and mental health, relationships, and overall quality of life.

Common signs of unhealthy stress levels include:

  • Persistent anxiety, worry, or racing thoughts
  • Sleep disturbances and fatigue
  • Digestive issues and changes in appetite
  • Irritability, mood swings, or feeling overwhelmed

Acute Stress

Short-term stress that occurs in response to immediate challenges. While it can be intense, acute stress typically resolves once the situation passes. Examples include work deadlines, public speaking, or unexpected changes in plans.

Chronic Stress

Persistent stress that continues over extended periods. This type of stress can significantly impact health and wellbeing. Sources may include ongoing financial difficulties, relationship problems, or high-pressure work environments.

Traumatic Stress

Intense stress resulting from traumatic events that may lead to lasting psychological effects. Examples include natural disasters, accidents, violence, or significant loss. This may require specialized trauma-informed care.

Our Approach to Stress Management

Frequently Asked Questions

While everyone experiences stress, it becomes problematic when it interferes with your daily functioning, relationships, or physical health. Signs that your stress may require professional support include persistent feelings of being overwhelmed, physical symptoms like chronic headaches or digestive issues, sleep disturbances, increased irritability, difficulty concentrating, or using substances to cope. If stress is impacting your quality of life or you're struggling to manage it on your own, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Many people experience immediate relief from acute stress after practicing certain techniques like deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation. However, developing resilience to chronic stress typically requires consistent practice over time. Most participants in our program report noticeable improvements in their stress levels within 2-4 weeks of regular practice. The key is consistency—even brief daily practice is more effective than occasional longer sessions. We'll help you develop a realistic practice schedule that fits your lifestyle.

Yes, effective stress management can significantly impact physical health. Chronic stress contributes to or exacerbates many physical conditions including hypertension, digestive disorders, headaches, pain conditions, and immune system suppression. By reducing stress, many participants experience improvements in these conditions. Our program includes specific techniques for stress-related physical symptoms. However, it's important to continue any medical treatments while adding stress management as a complementary approach—we work alongside your healthcare providers for optimal results.

This is one of the most common concerns we hear, and it's exactly why our program is designed with busy people in mind. We teach "micro-practices" that can be integrated into your existing routine—like one-minute breathing exercises between meetings, mindful awareness while commuting, or brief body scans while waiting in line. We also help you identify time-wasting activities that could be replaced with brief stress management practices. Remember that investing a small amount of time in stress management often increases productivity and focus, ultimately saving you time.

While there is some overlap in techniques, stress management and therapy for clinical anxiety or depression are not identical. Our stress management program is designed to help people cope with everyday stressors and prevent stress-related health problems. For individuals with diagnosed anxiety disorders, depression, or other mental health conditions, stress management can be a helpful complement to therapy and/or medication but may not be sufficient as a standalone treatment. During your initial assessment, we'll help determine if our stress management program meets your needs or if additional mental health support would be beneficial.
