Stress Treatment Cambridge

Stress is a term used to describe the symptoms a person experiences when feeling under pressure or threatened. It is essentially the body responding naturally to a perceived threat by something called the fight or flight response. In this mechanism the body releases chemicals that allow you to fight or run away from the source of ‘danger’. Modern day living provides plenty of potential threats to our well-being without much opportunity to either fight or run away, leaving us with a confused body feeling stressed.

Complementary therapies can help you to deal with whatever is causing you to feel stressed. Providing some time out in a calm environment allows your body to relax and unwind, sometimes this is all that is needed to get a different perspective on a problem.

Psychotherapeutic techniques can help you to understand why you are getting stressed by certain situations and how you can learn techniques to respond differently.

Long-term stress is unhealthy and can affect immune response and hormonal functioning and is thought to be an influence in many life threatening illnesses.
