Starting Stress management therapy

What type of therapy do I need for stress?

Thriveworks offers Stress management therapy, a type of therapy that helps people learn how to effectively manage and release their stress through the use of relaxation techniques, time-management practices, and mindfulness, among others. Relieving stress can greatly improve an individual's mental health, as stress can detrimentally affect one's emotional and physical well-being.

How does stress management therapy work?

Stress management therapy functions by identifying the source(s) of stress and the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that are tied to it, then addressing them and creating healthy strategies for dealing with stress on a long-term basis. Additionally, Stress management therapy also helps people discover what warning signs they have that can let them know that they are stressed so that they can be more proactive in managing it.

What is the most effective therapy for stress management?

The effectiveness of stress management therapy can vary from person to person, but some widely used and effective approaches include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and relaxation techniques.

What are 5 stress management strategies?

5 stress management counseling strategies include:

  • Deep breathing: Practice deep, slow breathing exercises to calm your body's stress response.
  • Exercise: Regular physical activity can help reduce stress and improve your overall well-being.
  • Mindfulness meditation: Engage in mindfulness or meditation practices to stay present and reduce anxiety.
  • Time management: Organize your tasks and priorities to minimize stress related to time pressures.
  • Social support: Share your feelings and concerns with friends or a therapist for emotional support and problem-solving.

Should you go to therapy for stress?

Whether to seek therapy for stress depends on the severity and impact of the stress on your life. If stress is significantly affecting your well-being, relationships, or daily functioning, therapy can be a helpful option to learn coping strategies and gain support. It's important to assess your own needs and consult a mental health professional for guidance on whether therapy is appropriate for your situation.

Does stress management help anxiety?

Yes, stress management counseling can help significantly reduce the amount of stress that you feel.

Is stress management therapy conducted in person or online?

Stress management treatment at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does stress management therapy last?

For those with low amounts of anxiety and stress and simple goals, stress management therapy can be fewer than 12 sessions. However, for those with intense anxiety and more severe symptoms, therapy will likely last longer in order to effectively treat their stress and mitigate their symptoms.

Need more help deciding?

You tell yourself that you’re not going to let it get the best of you. Today will be different.  “I won’t let things stress me out!”  You determine to ignore those thoughts that creep in – the ones that make your pulse race and distract you from your work, your family – that keep you from being happy.  You try some breathing exercises, but they’re not working.  You repeat a mantra you found on the Intranet, “Stress is not my friend.”

But the more you try to repress the stress, it just won’t go away. In fact, it worsens until you’re consumed.  Today was going to be different and you wonder, “why can’t I manage my stress?”

What Is Stress?

Simply defined, stress is a state of emotional or mental strain, leading to nervous tension, anxiety, fear, worry, or distress.   Everyone deals with stress throughout their lives. In fact, not all stress is bad.  Stress can create the fight or flight response in dangerous circumstances.  More often, stress is brought on by pressure in life, fears, and irrational thoughts that leave people feeling hopeless and discouraged.  According to one Gallup poll, 55% of Americans are stressed on a daily basis.  Some people find stress to be invigorating, but far more find it to be paralyzing. If that sounds like you, consider stress therapy at Thriveworks Rock Hill, SC. Call (803) 368-6499.

What Causes Stress?

Many circumstances can cause stress.  Nearly 90% of workers in the US report having stress on the job.  Challenges on the job, whether with co-workers or a boss, can drastically raise stress levels for employees, and the loss of a job can add a new level of stress, too.  Marital and parenting struggles can add stress in the home, while financial issues typically compound these stress levels.

Common Signs of Stress

The first step to managing your stress is understanding what causes it. Common signs of stress include:

  • Increased heart rate
  • Headaches
  • Physical aches and pains
  • Muscle tension
  • Chest pain
  • Shaking hands or physical trembling
  • Increased sweating
  • Upset stomach or gastrointestinal issues
  • Sudden changes in mood
  • Anger or anger outbursts
  • Withdrawal from family, friends, or co-workers
  • Increased alcohol, cigarette, or drug use
