Although some stress in our life is necessary to help us grow and adapt to changes, how much stress you feel and how it is managed can affect your health and emotional well-being. There are different kinds of stress that affect us physically and emotionally.
Signs of stress may include:
emotional distress
physical symptoms
insomnia
memory problems
lowered immunity
infertility
premature ageing
self-destructive behaviors such as excessive drinking, eating, or drug taking
There are a number of ways to manage stress and your health by working with a therapist to identify the sources of your own unique stress responses:
Learn to identify and change unproductive thoughts and reactions
Learn to identify and change negative or unhealthy behaviors
Learn relaxation techniques
Learn to take personal responsibility when appropriate
Get recommendations and referrals for alternative therapies or medication
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – this type of approach encourages you to identify and change unhealthy thoughts and behaviors.
Mindfulness Based Therapy – you can learn how to be in the present moment, without judgment, and notice your thoughts and body sensations as they arise. You can learn how healing breath and mindfulness awareness can produce a calmer, less-stressed mind and body.

If you think you are suffering from any of the above symptoms, it is recommended to schedule an appointment with your physician before beginning a new regimen.
“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.”
... Marcus Aurelius
Various medical journals cite laughter as a way to lower blood pressure, reduce stress, increase muscle flexion, and boost the immune function.
It's important to learn to recognize when you do or don't have control over a situation and when action should or should not be taken. You can not always control life situations and must sometimes be accepting of 'what is, is'.
Stress is not a bad word. Positive stress can be a motivator. Learn to differentiate between good stress and negative stress.
Manage stress constructively using techniques learned through therapy.
Stress Management counseling can help you deal successfully with stress and anxiety.
Manage stress before it manages you.
