Stress

Do you feel as though you never fully switch off?

Right now the combination of physical stress, metabolic stress and mental and emotional stress on all of us has never been higher. Experts recognise it and we all recognise it. We rarely have time to switch off, rest and recuperate fully, and there us a long-term cost to our health and happiness as a result. Over time stress builds and it has consequences physically, mentally and emotionally.

It’s a common experience for people to spend a lot of time and energy treating these downstream consequences of stress without actually recognising or addressing the cause of the problem.

Some effects of stress can include:

Physical tensions and pain
Digestive problems or disorders
Relationship problems or problems with relating to others (colleagues etc)
Anxiety, depression or other mood and emotional disorders
Immune system problems, often getting sick, or autoimmune disorders
Sleep problems
Headaches or migraines
Reproductive problems, sexual dysfunction or reduced libido
Feeling overwhelmed or having panic attacks
Feeling fatigued or regularly low in energy
High levels of stress in one or more areas of your life (work or family, etc)
Or just feeling like things are not quite right with your body, mind or health overall

How stress affects each of us is different, and any of these things can exist in isolation and, when that is the case, may or may not be related to stress. Often if more than one (or any of the signs of stress) are present then stress becomes a more likely underlying cause. Reducing the impact of this stress on your brain and body is central to the care we provide here at NCC.
