Stress Management

Stress is a normal response to situational pressures or demands and is part of our everyday lives. How we do or do not respond to those stressors will determine whether we have a relatively healthy life, or potentially become burdened with illness and disease. During this session we will discuss the role stress and stress hormones play in our body, and the impact prolonged stress can have on our overall health and wellness. We will explore the various signs and symptoms (physical, emotional, cognitive and behavioural) of chronic stress, and review a variety of strategies that we can apply to reduce the impact of stress in our lives.
