What happens to the body internally when we experience stress? The adrenal glands release hormones including adrenaline and cortisol, that produce a fight or flight response to the perceived stressor. Despite the body's attempts to deal with stimuli, prolonged stress and over production of these hormones like cortisol can lead to weight gain, sleep issues, high blood pressure, and even more anxiety. Let's take the first steps towards managing anxiety today to protect your physical, mental, and emotional health by raising awareness of the long-term impacts.

These days, we are seeing an increasing number of clients reporting distress related to current political events. People report feeling restless, helpless, frustrated, angry, and scared in light of recent events and situations in the news. One thing to help get you through is to focus on is what you CAN control versus what you CAN'T. Staying suspended in a state of worry will only exhaust you, so it's best to practice self-soothing skills and focusing on what you can do within your own space in the world to cope. Swipe to see our tips for self-soothing and self-care during times of distress!
