Stress Management

Stress Management Helps Clients Confront Natural Change, the Healthy Way

With natural change in life comes stress. Whether it is from the loss of a job or the grind of work, school, or even interpersonal relationships, high levels of stress can be maladaptive, causing significant physical reactions that can truly impair a person’s life.

At Healing Connections, our stress management therapy teaches a variety of skills specifically intended to reduce stress and thereby eliminate the physiological and somatic responses of our clients, including:

• Self-care skills
• Meditation
• Mindfulness
• Breathing exercises
• Body-centered exercises – This can include tai chi, stretching, and yoga, all of which can take place in group settings.
• Progressive muscle relaxation
• Visualization
• Sound therapy
• Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) – This information processing therapy can help maximize treatment effects.
