Stress

Stress is the body's reaction to harmful situations -- whether they’re real or perceived. When you feel threatened, a chemical reaction occurs in your body that allows you to act in a way to prevent injury. This reaction is known as "fight-or-flight,” or the stress response. In small doses, stress can help you accomplish tasks and prevent you from physical  danger.  However, long  term  unmanaged  stress  can affect all aspects of your life, including your emotions, behaviours, thinking ability, and physical health. We  help  provide  direct  interventions  to  deal  with  accumulated stress  and  build  a  neurology  which  is  more  capable of maintaining emotional stability  and  perspective.     

Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands. As the stress continues, you begin to lose the interest and motivation that led you to take on a certain role in the first place. Burnout reduces productivity and saps your energy, leaving you feeling increasingly helpless, hopeless, cynical, and resentful. Eventually, you may feel like you have nothing more to give..  Unaddressed,  it  can  lead  to  longer  term  physical  and  mental  heath  issues.

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. They often arise as a consequence of untreated chronic stress. Depression has been shown to cause changes to  parts of the brain that regulate long-term memory, forming new memories, and connecting emotions to those memories. Through our programs, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.
