Dealing With Stress

Dealing With Stress

It is important to manage how we are dealing with stress daily.

It is impossible to separate stress from our lives.

How we manage our stress is vitally important.

We can often go into a 'fight or flight' state of mind. Depending on our past experience, for example, if there is past experience of trauma, this can lead to a different level of coping with stress, in comparison to someone who has had no experience of trauma. 

So how do we go about dealing with past traumatic experiences?

Well, we can talk to a family member, a friend or not talk about it at all.

If we speak to a family member, they may listen but, it may be difficult for them to hear or understand what's being expressed, feelings, emotions etc.

Leaving that individual feeling not heard or misunderstood.

Speaking to a close friend may leave that friend more burdened. The friend may want to help but feel unable to do so. Maybe for fear saying the wrong thing, perhaps.

Not talking about the traumatic experience, may lead to feelings of frustration, anger or worst.

So what else can be done?

Alternatively, we can talk to a professional. Someone who will listen, without judgement, in a safe environment.

That professional could be a Counsellor or Psychotherapist.

To be heard and understood with a sympathetic ear, may help to speed up the healing process.
