If managed well, stress can be helpful, however, chronic stress can negatively affect one’s health including anxiety, depression, heart disease, and sleep disorders. Knowing how to manage stress is essential to one’s mental and physical health.

Our Approach to Stress Management

  • Comprehensive Assessment: Assessing the sources of stress and its impact on one’s life is the first step in managing stress. That is why we start with stress evaluation so that we can understand its sources, quantify its impact, and devise a bespoke treatment strategy.
  • Tailored Stress Management Strategies: We create techniques designed to help alleviate strain in your life that are tailored to your specific needs. This may include daily stressors like relaxation exercises, mindfulness, CBT, or other lifestyle changes.
  • Practical Techniques for Stress Reduction: We teach practical techniques such as relaxation exercises, meditation, and muscle relaxation. These techniques, alongside efficient time management, can be easily added to your daily life, making them easy to practice.
  • Continuous Support and Regular Assessment: Stress management as a whole is a continual process that takes time. Alongside defining a tailored practice for you, we provide ongoing support, regularly scheduled consultations, and assessments to ensure you are on the desired track and achieving the results you want.

Common Causes of Stress

Stress is a multifactorial phenomenon which can stem from:

  • Occupation Stress: Work overload, tight deadlines, and the prospect of losing one’s job leads to constant strain.
  • Personal Life Stress: Relationship, family, and even financial problems can be the source of chronic stress.
  • Medical: Chronic illness, pain, or other medical issues can impose a lot of stress.
  • Social and Cultural Stress: In our surveys, participants reported that living in a stressful context or dealing with societal (cultural norms, family expectations) and institutional (bias, discrimination) pressures are also sources of stress.
  • Stress Management Techniques : We implement a comprehensive approach to managing stress at Dr. Gurpartap Singh’s Clinic.

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT is especially effective in managing stress because it attempts to resolve the psychological aspects of it. It is beneficial because it targets negative self-talk and replaces it with healthy, logical, and uplifting self-affirmations.
  • Breathing and Relaxation Exercises: Stress and its physical manifestations can be effectively managed with the aid of mental calmness. Deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and a range of other simple breathing exercises can significantly help.
  • Time Management and Goal Setting: Effective and realistic goal setting in conjunction with effective time management can reduce stress levels significantly while simultaneously increasing productivity.
  • Physical Exercise: Stress management is greatly aided by incorporating regular physical activity into your daily routine. Exercising on a regular basis lowers stress levels. We support you in incorporating physical activity into your daily routine to improve your health and stress levels.
