Chronic stress makes you feel overwhelmed. You become flooded by thoughts, emotions and physical sensations.

Risk of stress

Stress is part of everyday life and is caused by every change to which you have to adapt. The influence of stress depends on how you respond to these events. It is effective if stress causes you to respond alertly to risks and danger and thus protect yourself. But if you remain constantly on edge and stressed, it becomes a serious problem for your health and well-being.

Maybe this is recognizable to you. Or worse, it has been going on for so long that you are now overstressed or at home with a burnout. And you have the feeling that you just can’t figure it out anymore. Please feel free to contact me without obligation. How difficult it can be to see now… there is a path to recovery.

Coaching process

At the intake consultation we will assess your problem situation and issues, and the goal you wish to achieve. Together we determine what the causes of the problem are, what keeps it going or even worsens it, and what the best approach is for you to recover.

Depending on your situation, what you have experienced and the changes that lie ahead, I can work with you with specific methods such as EMDR therapy, cognitive hypnotherapyButeyko breathing therapy or cranialsacral therapy. Together we decide which treatment(s) we will use during the sessions. Sometimes we also agree that you will do a certain exercise or activity at home.

If you would like to seek advice, please contact me for a free phone call. Or book your first session directly. Via the ‘Appointment’ button, you can easily choose the time that suits you in my calendar.

Stress in the body

Chronic stress can have a serious mental and physical impact. As long as your mind is experiencing a threat, your system ensures that your body remains vigilant and alert. If this fight or flight response continues, it has long-lasting consequences. The adrenal glands produce corticoids (adrenaline and norepinephrine) that have an inhibitory effect on digestion, tissue repair and the immune system, among other things. These are important functions to keep the body healthy and fit.

In the end, chronic stress often leads to illness or mental problems. Some people get high blood pressure, migraines, intestinal problems or fatigue, while other suffer from anxiety, sleeping problems or panic attacks.

Rest and recovery

Fortunately, the nervous system that previously activated the stress response can also turn it off again. As soon as you discover or decide that a situation is no longer dangerous for you, your brain stops sending alarm signals. Soon the fight-flight response begins to disappear from the body. Your heart rate, breathing, muscle tension and blood pressure will return to normal levels.

During the coaching process you will learn strategies to monitor and balance your stress level yourself. We look at which changes or stressors play an important role, what they mean to you personally, what feelings you have about them and what you do or do not do in the situation. We then finds new ways in which you can best deal with that change(s) and develop your skills to do so in practice.
