What is stress management coaching?
People often don't simply accept stress passively; instead, they try to avoid, mitigate, modify, or control it as best they can. The resources and strategies they can draw upon significantly influence whether and what effects psychosocial stressors have on their health.
Scientific literature, such as that by Schulz, demonstrates that the way people cope with stress is more significant for their health than the duration and intensity of the stressors themselves. Therefore, to promote health and prevent stress-related health risks, it makes sense not to focus solely on the stressors.,
The aim is not only to reduce or eliminate these problems, but also to strengthen and expand individual coping skills. Against this backdrop, a number of diverse intervention approaches for promoting individual coping skills have been developed, tested in practice, and evaluated for their effectiveness.
On what levels does stress management coaching help me?
Stress management coaching can support you in numerous areas. To do this effectively, it's valuable to understand the levels at which stress manifests itself. Stress arises whenever a situation is perceived as incongruent with one's values, needs, or beliefs.
Or in other words: when things are different from how I imagine they should be. Thoughts like, "I should lose weight," or "He could at least say hi," or "Traffic jam again!" are direct triggers of the hormonal stress response. Another level is the emotional one. On an emotional level, stress arises primarily when our needs (such as...) are not met.
The stress response is perceived as lacking in fulfillment of needs such as recognition, meaningfulness, self-determination, or quality. As a side effect, negative thoughts often arise, either about oneself or about others, which – from a physiological perspective – in turn reinforces neural pathways in the amygdala, the almond-shaped nucleus complex.
As part of the limbic system, emotion and memory are influenced here in a variety of ways.
The second level is the autonomic hormonal level. Under stress, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, releasing the stress hormones adrenaline, noradrenaline, testosterone, and cortisol. Breathing becomes faster, the heart and circulatory system work harder, the pupils dilate, blood pressure rises, sugar and fat stores are released, and sweating occurs.
The hormone hydrocortisone lowers the body's immune system. The stomach and intestines reduce their activity, and sexual function is also temporarily impaired. Stress can also manifest itself at the muscular level. The entire skeletal musculature is tense, and one is ready to spring into action. This is evident, among other things, in...
also through finger drumming, teeth grinding, foot tapping, twitching, stuttering, tension headaches, back pain or nervous gestures.
