Psychedelic Assisted Therapy

If there were ever a therapeutic approach that would be met with a little scepticism, it would most probably be psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

Top Signs Your Body and Mind are Stressed

What are the signs or symptoms that indicate you are anxious and your body has triggered a stress response?

When we are feeling anxious, a natural process is triggered that affects both our body and mind. The stress response keep us alive during extreme circumstances. However, if we find ourselves in a prolonged anxious state, where even the sound of a work email notification triggers a stress response, you can almost guarantee that our health and well-being will be significantly impacted.

When it comes to anxiety and stress, it can be hard to recognise when a stress response has been triggered. We could be living in ignorant bliss, not understanding the volume of pressure we are putting on our bodies until it’s too late, and we find ourselves dealing with panic attacks, burn out and fatigue.

So, what are the signs that a stress response has been triggered?

Anxiety And Depression As A Fight Or Flight Response

Anxiety and depression are two of the most common mental health challenges. It can be easy to trudge on, not seeking help and just putting up with the thoughts and feelings associated with both anxiety and depression.
When finally, symptoms can no longer be ignored, it can be easy to jump to medication for a fix without truly understanding exactly what is happening within our bodies. Taking the time to understand anxiety and depression as natural responses highlights how these types of mental health challenges are less about you and your ability to cope but rather a variety of factors that are out of your control.

This extra insight might help you decide on a different management plan, looking at ways to naturally support your body with the symptoms it is experiencing.

How do you relax?

We live in such an overstimulated world where disconnection from outer influences is hard to achieve. Most of us have limited time in our day where we can say we are quiet, where we give space for our minds to wander, for our thoughts to quieten, and where daydreaming or internal reflection is made possible.

Is there something you do each day to relax and quieten your mind?

Stress And Happiness – How Are They Linked?

When stress hits, it can literally be a mood killer. It seems to deaden every other emotion, it becomes all-encompassing, narrowing our thoughts, feelings and vision, and at its worst, it can stop us in our tracks.
As stress and anxiety pile up, it takes up more room in our lives. Activities or events that used to be enjoyable become overwhelming; we find that life has suddenly become narrow, and the elements of life that used to bring us joy and happiness have suddenly disappeared.

Finding yourself in this situation is difficult, as the downward spiral of stress and anxiety-limiting behaviour is well entrenched and hard to reverse. However, there is good news, as creating an upward spiral using positive emotions can and has been shown in several studies to help reduce stress.

Anxiety & The Relaxation Response.

In biological terms, it is only a split second ago that we were hunting wild animals and finding our own water to survive. Yet now (moments later in evolutionary terms), most of us have to sit and stare at screens to survive. It’s a big change for our nervous systems.

Despite not being chased by wild animals, many of us still suffer from all the same set of emotional patterns like anxiety and stress that our ancestors would have felt when they were in survival situations. And just because it’s an email triggering your anxiety, it doesn’t make that anxiety any less real than when it was triggered by Sabre tooth tiger attacks.
We all know that fight-or-flight is an ancient survival mechanism and that it’s involved in perpetuating conditions like chronic anxiety. But what happens to our bodies after the fight-or-flight reaction has been triggered when the danger has passed?
