Stress Management in Burbank, CA

Stress Treatment in Burbank, CA

We derive stress from a variety of sources. It can spring from school or the workplace, worrying about finances or relationships, and it may even come from our general outlook on life.

Stress itself is not a medical condition, but it can have a very real effect on our health. Excessive anxiety can lead to a range of ailments, including heart disease , high blood pressure , and a weakened immune system. It can also affect sleeping and eating habits, leading to weight gain  or a general feeling of being burned out.

Comprehensive Treatment

The best approach to stress management is a holistic one. One of the best options for holistic treatment is to recruit the help of a lifestyle coach. Lifestyle coaches not only address the physiological conditions associated with stress, but they'll recommend physical and mental techniques for relieving the symptoms. In addition, a lifestyle coach will guide you through the behavioral changes that can prevent or limit the onset of anxiety.

A lifestyle coach can be the positive influence you need to turn around a life consumed by stress. He or she will be there every step of the way to inspire you, help you set goals, and encourage you to achieve them. Most stress management plans are individually tailored to the individual needs of each person and include a system of behavior modifying techniques, exercise, and dietary considerations . Here is a general overview of some the stress-reducing techniques healthcare providers employ.

Focused Breathing Exercises

Stress Relief t in Burbank, CA

If you've ever been frustrated — and who hasn't — someone may have told you to take a deep breath. It turns out that it wasn't just a figure of speech. When we are relaxed, we naturally take deeper breaths, so forcing yourself to slow your breathing during a stressful situation will coax your body into remembering how it feels when it is at rest.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Have you ever felt the need to unwind? Oftentimes, the body's natural response to a stressful situation is to tighten the muscles. The process of progressive muscle relaxation involves consciously tensing and then relaxing targeted muscle groups to train them to unwind on command.

Visualization

Visualization can be done in conjunction with breathing exercises, and it works by picturing tension as a physical item. As you breathe out, picture the tension leaving your body and being replaced by calmness.

Cognitive Restructuring

Cognitive restructuring is at the root of many treatment programs, and it requires the most dedication and support. With this technique, you may learn to identify negative thought patterns as they occur.
