Managing Stress & Overwhelm
Stress Counseling: Finding your Balance
Stress is a normal part of life, but when it builds up or becomes constant, it can leave you feeling exhausted, irritable, and unable to cope. Overwhelm happens when the demands of work, family, or personal challenges feel heavier than the resources you have to manage them. You may notice racing thoughts, tension in your body, trouble sleeping, or a sense that you’re always “on edge.”
Living in this state for too long can take a toll on your physical and emotional health. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
“Overwhelm is the all too common feeling that our lives are somehow unfolding faster than the human nervous system and psyche are able to manage” ―Jon Kabat-Zinn
