Stress can leave us feeling overwhelmed by the demands placed upon us.
It's usually defined as a negative reaction to expressive pressure or other situations in our lives.
How do you deal with stress?
Our member and psychotherapist Bhavna Raithatha has prepared a helpful video sharing five steps you can take to reduce stress.
Managing stress is an essential element of a healthy lifestyle, and the first step towards managing it is recognising how you can reduce stress.
Talking to a therapist can also help you manage stress. A counsellor can help you understand why you feel stressed and find strategies that can help you learn how to cope with stress.
