Have you heard that stress is a “silent killer”?  There is some truth to that.  Stress is a serious health problem that affects so many.  It is a result of psychological threats.  What do I mean by that?  Stress is how our body responds to things that threaten our well-being.  For example, losing your job, preparing for a big career move, a big project, relationship problems, family conflict, health issues or grief and loss.  Chronic stress can exacerbate existing medical conditions or contribute to medical conditions such as chronic pain, hypertension, diabetes, stroke, and heart attack.

Addressing Stress In Therapy

In order to help you alleviate the stress that you are encountering, I will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).  CBT is an effective therapy modality that is often used for stress management and reduction. CBT will be used to help you think differently about stressful events. It will change the negative thoughts that are triggered by stressful situations. Therefore, the new thinking patterns brought on by CBT will help you reduce stressors.
