 Stress
Management Counselling Edinburgh and Glasgow
Stress
is
naturally occuring. Without stress there would be no motivation. In
emotional terms stress is the pressure that creates momentum.
Problems occur when too much stress, or the wrong sort of stress
effects us.
1. Too much: when the stress (demands) placed on us outstrip out
ability to cope (resources)
2. Wrong type: when we perceive the stress (pressure) as being negative
and destructive, perhaps an attack or punishment or failure.
3. Extreme: Post Traumatic Stress where a severely emotional event or
period of time causes shock, trauma or a negative learning experience.
Stress
costs business millions of pounds in sick days and lost productivity.
It costs individuals relationships, health, well-being and quality of
life.
Stress
has been shown to have serious long term health effects including
hypertension, suppressed immune system, worsened medical conditions,
Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Ulcers, headaches, skin conditions and
worsened allergic responses.
Because
of the potential physical and medical interactions of stress, you
should always consult a medical doctor to ensure that any medical
condition is getting the proper treatment.
Stress
Management Counselling
The
exact
package of assistance should be dependent on the type of stress or
stress factors present in the individual. No two cases are alike, and
this is why "off the shelf" and "conveyor belt" methods are a waste of
time.
It is important to treat the client holistically:
1. Work on any underlying causes and past events
2.
Reduce
current stress levels
3.
Learn ways to
channel stress in a positive way
4.
Learn to
perceive things differently, so they are less stress-ful
5.
Learn to
perceive things so that there is less "negative" stress
6.
Ensure
balance and an appropriate lifestyle and environment
Typical
process
for stress management Counselling
The
process
therefore tends to be:
1.
Reduce
stress level and prepare the client with positive affirmation work or
visualisation using hypnotherapy or similar methods (such as self
hypnosis, NLP, autogenics).
2.
Begin
addressing underlying causes, looking for understanding, patterns and
through understanding the ability to reconcile, gain closure and undo
any negative learning.
3.
Define new
opportunities, activities and goals using Life coaching.
4.
Boost
where appropriate with affirmation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, NLP
etc as appropriate.
5.
Implement
new behaviours
6.
Monitor
and adapt new behaviours for maximum effect using CBT self assessment
methods.
7.
Give the
client time to settle, hit any snags, report back and sort out those
snags, usually by having monthly or bi-monthly progress sessions in
order to "round off" the whole program. These are often "put off" for a
bit if all is going fine.
You
might also find the Anger
management
page informative since the two issues are often related.
Stress
consultancy, counselling and training
Stuart has written
practitioner
training
courses in anger management coaching (Level
5 award), stress management coaching (Level 4 award), life
coaching (Level 4 award), NLP (Level 4 award) and Cognitive
Behavioural Therapy (Level 5 Award). Confidence issues are an integral
part of most therapy
processes and of all therapy practitioner training packages. He also
gained an industry award for a Stress Management training package for
practitioners.
Please
note that the above awards were ASET accredited until Jan 09. Since Jan
09 they have been dual awards with a diploma from Stonebridge
Associated Colleges, and also leading to an award certificate at the
appropriate level from NCFE.
It is important to
ensure
that the practitioner is experienced since stress can become quite
serious over time, and may result in self harm,
eating disorders, self medication, depression or other negative
behaviours as well ad various medical conditions. Therefore you should
choose a well experienced practitioner. Also remember to ensure you
have a check-up with your medical doctor!
