Virginia Satir. Family Therapist and author of New Peoplemaking If you suffer from stress, don’t ignore it. We all find different things stressful and can experience different signs and symptoms as a result of feeling stressed. Stress generally occurs when we feel unable to cope with high demands that are placed on us. e.g having lots to do does not automatically stress us, but when we have other things going on like emotional pressure at work or home or we feel unwell or injured it can become too much. We all have different ways of dealing with stress, whilst some need to find quiet time, read a book or relax, others need exercise to get the stress ‘out of their systems’, so the way that we recognise and perceive stress both in ourselves and around us is very important and different and part of handling our good and bad stress is knowing this about ourselves. We have devised a half day workshop that looks at stressors on an individual basis, grades this and finds alternate ways that match and fit with individual lifestyles for best results. In the interim, please see the early warning signs below and just take some time out to see how many are already part of your everyday life. Early warning signs or stress can be speech difficulties, nail biting, teeth grinding, headaches, lower back pain more impatient, low or high blood sugar, need more sleep or tired but can’t sleep, sudden weight loss or gain, changes in blood pressure, lack of concentration, repeated colds or flu, muscle aches, hair loss, chest pain, nervous talking, gastric disturbances and a withdrawal from social life. If left unchecked, stress can have a significant effect on physical and emotional health, our 'All stressed out and nowhere to go' workshop identifies these and offers management and intelligence on how to deal with reversing and/or helping any of the existing or early onset symptoms. Evidence is growing that says that stress can affect the heart by releasing certain hormones, adrenaline and cortisol which increase blood pressure and can encourage clotting in the arteries. These chemicals are the body’s way of preparing for ‘fight or flight’ and if left switched on in a constant state of arousal can produce a very toxic environment, leading to headaches, muscle tension, gastric changes, skin rashes, sleep difficulties and mood swings. Stress can also change your state of mind leading you to look for short term coping mechanisms, i.e. an increase in addictions, habits, compulsions, or conversely discourage you from healthy eating, exercising, spending time with others or on yourself. So it is therefore important to identify the things that cause you stress and recognise when they may be affecting your health and get help either from your self or informed health professionals.
