Stress is part of life. In moderation, he keeps us awake and efficient. But when tension becomes a permanent state, the body loses its balance. Thoughts race, muscles tense, sleep becomes shallow and internal restlessness grows. At some point, the body reacts with exhaustion, pain or irritation. Many people only notice late that they have worn too much for too long.

What is Stress

Stress is a natural response to stress. The nervous system switches to alert to provide energy. This is helpful in acute situations, but if there is no discharge, the body remains in tension mode. This can lead to exhaustion, lack of concentration, mood swings and physical symptoms. Constant stress changes hormone regulation and weakens the immune system and regeneration.

Causes and consequences of overburdening

Excessive demands arise when requirements permanently exceed one’s own resources. Causes can be professional pressures, family stresses, perfectionism or unresolved conflicts. Internal demands to always have to function also contribute to this. If the condition persists, it can lead to exhaustion, burnout or psychosomatic complaints.

Why Accompanying Can Help

Therapy helps identify internal and external stress patterns and develop new ways of dealing with stress. Through mindfulness, body work and targeted mental techniques, the nervous system learns to switch between tension and rest again. Dealing with internal pressure, limits and self-care can also be changed step by step in order to open up new sources of strength.
