Every person experiences stressful situations in their life, especially in our time. And the intensity and duration of the impact of stress on the body and its vital functions depends on how well a person can cope with this condition. And in order to notice the initial stage in time, you need to be attentive to yourself, to your feelings, emotions and prompts from your body. And As practice shows, for many people this connection is broken. And, as a rule, in the arsenal there is only a habitual strategy of behavior, which not only does not help, but also worsens the person’s condition. Therefore, it is important to expand your arsenal of methods that can help maintain internal balance and remain resistant to stress and anxiety. It is better to even make a list of what helps you more effectively and contact him in such situations. After all, during times of stress, automatic, habitual ways of responding begin to work and it can be quite difficult to remember new ones. Therefore, in consultations, I help the client first notice the methods that exist, determine how much they help or hinder, and find new ones that are more adaptive and helpful in a specific situation. And then the client needs to use new methods in order to develop a new skill. After all, if you don’t practice, then new knowledge will remain just knowledge and will be useless.
