Stress management focuses on helping the client to reduce the reaction
to stressful situations. Stress management includes a variety of techniques that encourage the clients relaxation and decrease her/his stress hormone levels.
The therapist can include meditation,
visualisation, laughter, exercise, diet, cognitive therapy, herbal medicine and relaxation techniques.
Stress management therapists recognise that stress is a natural part of life, but it is when the level of
stress exceeds our ability to cope with it that it can affect our health and become a problem.
