Stress Management FAQs
Answering common questions about managing stress effectively.
Q. Is some stress 'good' for me?
Yes, short-term stress (eustress) can actually help with focus and performance. However, chronic stress—where the body stays in 'fight or flight' mode for long periods—is harmful to your physical and mental health. We help you find the healthy balance.
Q. What is the difference between stress and burnout?
Stress usually involves too much of everything (too many pressures, too many demands). Burnout is often about 'not enough' (not enough energy, not enough motivation, not enough caring). We provide specialized care for both.
Q. Can simple relaxation techniques really make a difference?
Absolutely. Practices that help regulate your nervous system (like deep breathing or mindfulness) can physically lower cortisol levels and heart rate, providing immediate relief from the physical symptoms of stress.
