Stress Management

Stress Management Program

Life with stress, for most of us, is a normal part of living. At some point, however, the stressors can become overwhelming, and then life becomes progressively less vibrant and more about just getting through the details of the day. Or, in more advanced cases, one moves into a space where very little gets accomplished because the feelings of overwhelm are so pronounced.

Our Stress Management Program is designed to teach a specific skill set, which allows one to very quickly identify the unmanageable stressors in one’s life and to relieve the pressure.

The process is one of first learning how to experience accurately one’s internal state of distress; how to lower this distress; and, then, how to markedly increase one’s internal locus of control.

Locus of Control is the terminology used to identify who is in control. Am I reacting to circumstances or other people’s expectations (externalized locus of control); or am I choosing what is best for myself as well as others in a specific situation (internalized locus of control).

This Stress Management process also tends to accelerate one’s progress if a patient is using this program in conjunction with individual therapy. So, separately or together, one can learn how to achieve relaxation, disperse anxiety, and increase mood level. In so doing patients increase their self-confidence and self-trust in life’s circumstances.
