Stress Management Coaching

Stress impacts many of us on some level daily. 

Many of the clients that I work with express frustration and concern for the amount of demand placed on them in their lives, sometimes feeling quite full and not finding anything they can take off their plates to make things feel a bit more digestible.

The thing with stress is that it builds up in our bodies, our minds and our spirits over time.  Our bodies are designed to have a stress response in times of threat to our survival so that we can survive and remove ourselves from threat.  In this day and age, we aren’t necessarily facing a threat to our own life on a daily basis, but worries about deadlines, scheduling, work, finances, goals, school, health, relationships can all start to feel like we are fending for our survival on a daily basis.

When our bodies end up in a state of chronic stress response, we experience a great deal of difficult symptoms including health problems, anxiety, depression, inner critic attacks, lower self-confidence, fatigue, inability to make decisions, headaches, lack of desire or even feeling a lack of purpose or vision for life. It’s so intense to realize how many of us spend so much time here when we don’t have too. We can’t make stress and demands of life go away, but we can change how we manage this stress, which will also create a sense of more aliveness and nourishment in our lives.

What I have noticed with many clients I have worked with, is this particular loss of life vision and loss of confidence in the face of the demands of life.  Even with visioning tools and coaching, I’ve noticed that it can be particularly difficult to break through obstacles.  And, as I became curious about this for my clients and in my own life, I found stress to be a major factor in having difficulty creating change in one’s life.

Stress management coaching offers individualized coaching, as well as courses full of awareness exercises and practical tools. Coaching supports you to identify particular ways that you experience stress in your own life, how to develop awareness of the impacts stress has on you, particular situations that trigger more of a stress response for you and to recognize when stress becomes an obstacle for you in experiencing joy in your life. Coaching also offers you the opportunity to learn tools, skills and practices for managing and dissolving the sources and symptoms of stress in your body.
