Sehr Athar

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW

Stress is the body's physiological response to adversity. We all experience stress in our lives from time to time, whether that is relationship stress, job stress, racial stress/trauma. We will spend some time understanding how stress shows up for you in the mind and the body. We'll talk about your body's acute stress response, aka "fight, flight, or freeze" response, and engage in practices during session, that bring the body back to its window of tolerance. We'll develop a plan together that includes regular activities and practices to reduce stress in your life and engage your parasympathetic nervous system response (rest and digest).

Stress, whether from the workplace, family or relationship, is a part of everyday life. With therapy is is possible to see things from a different, more objective 'lens'.

Zlata Kovaltchouk

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RPC, RP

Explore the biggest culprits of ongoing and chronic stress, and begin to build the skills that are necessary to effectively manage stress. Stress is a part of life and cannot be erased, and our bodies are designed to withstand acute stress. However, chronic and ongoing stress (the kind that is harmful to our well-being) is often caused by lifestyle, certain long-standing behavioural patterns, and a lack of effective skills in communication, coping, and emotional regulation. We will look at all of these areas to explore where change might be helpful, and to begin to learn the necessary skills and tools to manage difficult thoughts and feelings effectively, respond to the challenges of life while taking care of your own needs, and increase emotional resiliency as well as behaviours that will promote vitality.

Headway Mental Health

Registered Psychotherapist, Joshua Dvorkin, MPsy, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying),

In today's fast-paced and demanding world, stress has become a prevalent issue that affects many individuals. Excessive stress can have detrimental effects on both mental and physical well-being, making it crucial to seek professional support. Psychotherapists specialize in helping individuals effectively manage and cope with stress, fostering resilience and promoting overall wellness. How I can Help with Stress: 1. Identifying Stressors: Psychotherapists work collaboratively with individuals to identify the specific stressors in their life. Through exploration and assessment, they help clients gain awareness of the factors contributing to their stress, whether they are work-related, relationship-based, or rooted in personal challenges. 2. Developing Coping Strategies: Psychotherapists provide evidence-based techniques to develop healthy coping strategies for managing stress. These may include relaxation techniques, mindfulness exercises, breathing exercises, and time management skills. By teaching individuals practical tools to regulate their stress response, psychotherapists empower clients to regain control over their lives. 3. Cognitive Restructuring: Stress is often fueled by negative thinking patterns and distorted beliefs. Psychotherapists help individuals identify and challenge these unhelpful thoughts, replacing them with more realistic and positive perspectives. This cognitive restructuring process enables clients to reframe stressful situations and develop a more adaptive mindset. 4. Emotional Support: Psychotherapists offer a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to express their emotions related to stress. They provide validation, empathy, and support, helping individuals process their feelings and reduce emotional distress. Through this emotional support, psychotherapists help clients develop healthier ways of managing and expressing their emotions. 5. Lifestyle Modifications: Psychotherapists work with individuals to identify lifestyle factors that contribute to stress and develop strategies for positive changes. This may include exploring self-care practices, setting boundaries, improving sleep hygiene, and incorporating healthy habits like exercise and nutrition. By addressing these lifestyle factors, psychotherapists help clients create a healthier and more balanced life. 6. Building Resilience: Psychotherapists assist individuals in building resilience, which enables them to adapt and bounce back from stressful situations. They help clients develop skills such as problem-solving, assertiveness, and effective communication, empowering them to navigate stressors with increased confidence and resilience. By seeking support from a psychotherapist, individuals experiencing high levels of stress can gain valuable tools and strategies to effectively manage stress, improve overall well-being, and enhance their quality of life.

Colleen Fava

Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Reiki Practitioner, BA

There are all kinds of stressors in our lives. Clients will often come to me to say that they don't understand why all of a sudden they cannot deal with their stress. I reply by letting them know that just like the act of doing the same exercise all day long will eventually stop helping our bodies, it is the same for our emotional well being - we need to learn new coping based on the present. https://www.colleenfava.com/this-too-shall-pass-the-power-of-breathing-allowing-the-uncomfortable/

Synergetic Healing Psychotherapy

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Many tend to wait for the time of crisis to consider their experience a "burnout." Burnouts are common when you're working long days and come home to even longer nights. It can show up differently for everyone: some traditional signs of burnout include emotional exhaustion, feeling "numb" or disconnected, constantly questioning your self-efficacy, and constant irritation.
