Managing stress begins with identifying its sources in your life, which can be more challenging than it seems. The true causes of stress may not always be apparent, and it’s common to overlook personal thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that contribute to stress. While you might recognize concerns about work deadlines, it could be your tendency to procrastinate rather than the workload itself that leads to stress about meeting deadlines.
Psychotherapy begins with identifying the sources of stress in an individual’s life. Therapists help clients recognize stressors, whether they are external (e.g., work deadlines, financial pressures) or internal (e.g., negative thoughts, perfectionism), to develop targeted interventions.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a widely used approach in stress management. Therapists teach clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns contributing to stress, replacing them with more balanced and adaptive thinking. Behavioral techniques, such as relaxation training and time management skills, are also incorporated to reduce stress.
Psychotherapy incorporates mindfulness-based techniques to cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce stress reactivity. Mindfulness practices, such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, and progressive muscle relaxation, help individuals develop a sense of calm and resilience in the face of stressors.
