Stress Management Therapies
Stress management therapies vary widely from counseling to massage to energy work and more.
Such techniques are grounded in the understanding that unresolved stress limits the body's physical wellness, creating muscle tension, building up toxins, and even impacting the immune system. Further, stress can manifest feelings of fatigue, heaviness, aches and pains, reduced mental clarity or ability to focus, and depression. It can compound existing physical or mental issues, and create new ones.
Stress management therapies can include techniques designed to remove blockages in the flow of Qi (Chi), or "life force" that flows through the body, such as with Reiki, Qi Gong, or Tai Chi.
Hypnotherapy is another commonly used practice to reduce stress and help a client gain mental clarity. Overall, the integrative, complementary approach to reducing stress is non-invasive, natural, and concentrates on the unique needs of the client with the goal of empowering the client to learn how to relieve stress on his or her own, a life-long learning skill.
