Stress is a prominent factor in many individuals' day to day life. Stress can come from all aspects of life, such as relationships, work, family, and school. Because of this, stress can be hard to avoid and difficult to manage. Working together with a therapist at Wholesome can help you manage stress by learning new skills and developing coping strategies to better manage your stress, no matter how long you have been experiencing the symptoms.
Because stress can be in almost every aspect of life, it can fade into the background. Understanding how stress can impact you allows you to notice when you are stressed and need to make a change to reduce the overpowering feeling of exhaustion stress can bring.
