Stress is a common concern for many people, but it’s not something you have to face alone. Therapists can help you manage stress in healthy and constructive ways. The following techniques and strategies are known to work:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you identify negative thought patterns that contribute to stress. By challenging these thoughts and replacing them with healthier ones, you can reduce negative thought patterns and your stress.
- Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) refers to meditation, breathing exercises, and related practices that help you stay in the present moment, which helps reduce stress and anxious thinking.
- Relaxation techniques, such as progressive muscle relaxation and guided imagery, can help you relax physically and mentally, reducing the stress in your body and mind.
- Time management strategies can do wonders for alleviating stress and feelings of overwhelm. Therapists can help you develop daily and weekly routines, plus strategies for staying on track and avoiding potential pitfalls.
- Effective problem-solving skills and conflict-resolution skills can you tackle stressful situations and relationships with an approach that focuses on finding solutions—and keeping emotions in check.
