What is it?

Stress is the body's reaction to demands and pressure. In short bursts it helps you respond; the problem is chronic stress, which keeps the body on alert for weeks or months and wears down sleep, concentration, mood and relationships.

Signs and symptoms

Stress symptoms include muscle tension, headaches, digestive problems, irritability, trouble switching off and unrefreshing sleep. With chronic stress come constant tiredness and the feeling of always falling short. Ignored, these signs can turn into burnout.

How we help

We teach practical stress management strategies: regulation and breathing techniques, organising daily demands and setting boundaries. We also work on what lies behind it, so that managing stress is not only a matter of holding on. Online therapy in English, by video call, with an English-speaking therapist: for people in Portugal and for expats, wherever you live in Europe.

When it no longer fades once its cause has passed. Weeks of poor sleep, irritability, headaches or trouble switching off point to chronic stress, and that is the moment to act, before it becomes burnout.

Stress responds to a specific demand and tends to ease when it ends. Anxiety persists with no visible reason and anticipates what might go wrong. They often appear together and are worked on with similar techniques.
