Psychotherapy
Stress
A symptom of the disorders above — and on its own, a signal that your system is carrying more than it can hold.
Stress is the body's response to demand. In short bursts it is useful. Sustained, it eats your sleep, your focus and eventually your health.
Common symptoms
- —Increased heart rate
- —Disturbed breathing
- —Avoidance of situations
- —A fight or flight response in everyday moments
Forms it can take
How we work on it
We identify the sources of strain, separate what you can change from what you can only carry differently, and build practical tools — cognitive and behavioral — to regulate the response.
