What is stress management coaching?

People often do not simply accept stress passively, but try to avoid, mitigate, modify or control it as best they can. The resources and strategies they can draw on to do so have a significant influence on whether and what impact psychosocial stress has on their health. Scientific literature such as Schulz's shows that the way in which people cope with stress is more important for their health than the duration and intensity of the stressors themselves. In order to promote health and prevent stress-related health risks, it therefore makes sense to focus not only on the stressors with the aim of reducing or completely eliminating them, but also on individual coping skills with the aim of strengthening and expanding them. Against this background, a number of heterogeneous intervention approaches to promote individual coping skills have been developed, tested in practice and evaluated in terms of their effectiveness.

On what levels does stress management coaching help me?

Stress management coaching can support you in numerous areas. To do this, it is valuable to know on which levels stress actually manifests itself. Stress always arises when a situation is assessed as not being congruent with my values, needs or beliefs. Or in other words: When it is different from how I think it should be. Thoughts such as: „I should lose weight“, or: „He could say hello“ or „Traffic jam again!“ are direct triggers of the hormonal stress response. Another level is the emotional level. On an emotional level, stress arises above all when our needs (such as recognition, meaningfulness, self-determination or quality) are assessed as unfulfilled. A side effect of the stress reaction is often pejorative thoughts, either about ourselves or about others, which - from a physiological point of view - in turn reinforces neuronal pathways in the amygdala, the amygdala complex. As part of the limbic system, emotion and memory are influenced here in a variety of ways.

The second level is the vegetative hormonal level. Under stress, the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated and the stress hormones adrenaline, noradrenaline, testosterone and cortisol are released. Breathing becomes faster, the heart and circulation work harder, the pupils dilate, blood pressure rises, sugar and fat reserves are released and sweating reactions occur. The hormone hydrocortisone reduces the body's immune defenses. The stomach and intestines reduce their activity, and sexual functions are also temporarily restricted. Stress can also make itself felt at the muscular level. The entire skeletal musculature is tensed up and you are ready to jump. This can also be seen in finger drumming, teeth grinding, foot tapping, twitching, stuttering, tension headaches, back pain or nervous gestures.

Promote your health through stress management coaching

Symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, sleep disorders or loss of appetite are often ignored or taken seriously far too late. The end result is a complete breakdown due to burnout or depression.
