We all experience stress in our lives, and that is not necessarily a bad thing. Good levels of stress can bring out the best in us, causing us to prepare better, study harder, practice more, and lead us to achieve more than we imagined possible. There is a point though where stress no longer becomes a helpful motivator. When our lives become burdened with too much stress, all aspects of life suffer: work, relationships, emotions, health, hobbies etc. At these times, we often are exhausted, lack perspective, and are so burdened that problem solving is difficult if not impossible. Counseling for stress can relieve the burden, offer a fresh perspective and opportunity to learn new ways to lighten the load back to a manageable place.
