Stress affects everybody in different ways and there are many types of stress, from work stress to family strains, PTSD and more. It is the degree to which it prevents you from getting on with your everyday life that signals whether the problem is chronic.
The trained team of psychotherapists who treat stress in Hendon and Canary Wharf are skilled at helping you to identify your personal triggers and can show you healthy coping mechanisms for managing stress.
Stress is thought of as a mental health impairment as it affects our emotional wellbeing and is often characterised by worry and burdensome thoughts. The physical effects of stress are often undervalued, however there is a direct correlation between our mental and physical health.
Physical symptoms of stress include:
- Headaches
- A racing heartbeat
- Shaking
- Dizziness
- Aches and pains/tight muscles
- Stomach aches
- High blood pressure
- Insomnia
- Cleaning your jaw
- A weakened immune system
- Exhaustion
There are many ways of treating stress and preventing its effects from overtaking your daily life that you may already know of, however the structure of therapy is helpful as stress can often be overwhelming. While life is rarely free from stress, our Canary Wharf and Hendon clinics have therapists trained to help you reduce the impacts of stress.
The broad nature of stress means there are several methods of therapy that can treat the condition, so we believe the most effective way of treating the problem is by tailoring therapy to you individually. A psychological assessment and action plan will be devised to help you benefit the most from your sessions at Bridges Therapy Centre that could include one or several of the therapy techniques we administer.
For example, mindfulness techniques work to calm the mind and elevate your emotional state, or there is CBT – a practice designed to reframe your thoughts by assessing the root cause of your stress so you can live a more stress-free life.
At Bridges Therapy Centre, we have a professional network of psychotherapists treating stress in Hendon and Canary Wharf who are all qualified to assess whether your experience of stress is the result of ‘burnout’ or symptoms of something greater, such as PTSD.
If you would like to learn how to manage stress more effectively or reach a professional diagnosis for a suspect case of PTSD, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the team today.
