Identifying Stressors Coping Skills Life Management Skills Stress Management Skills Identifying Stressors You may think you know what's stressing you out, and you're probably at least partially right. It's amazing, though, when you start talking to somebody about it, and they ask you a few questions. All of a sudden you realize that what you thought was the whole picture is really just the tip of the iceberg. Stress counseling can help you identify all the things going on in your life that are adding to your stress. That can be helpful for two reasons. First of all, you realize you're not crazy and that you have good reasons to be stressed out, and secondly, you can identify some stressful things that you can put aside for a while. Coping Skills We tend to use the same coping skills, because they have worked in the past. When we get into a situation where they don't work, though, we don't know what to do. Stress counseling can teach you new coping skills that are more effective than your old ones. Life Management Skills You can learn good life management skills in stress counseling, and these skills can decrease the stress you have to deal with. Some examples of life management skills are assertiveness, time management, interpersonal skills, and organizational skills. Stress Management Skills You will also lean stress management skills in stress counseling, such as relaxation techniques, visualization techniques, self hypnosis, or biofeedback. You might learn what lifestyle changes can help your stress and different cognitive techniques, such as reframing an incident so that your perception of it is changed. There are a lot of good things you can learn in stress counseling that will make your life less stressful and help you deal with stress better. Counselors aren't the only people who can give you some stress counseling. Life coaches, naturopaths, physicians and even good friends can help you with your stress. |
