Please skip over this first paragraph if you know of Dr. Hans Selye’s research.
Dr. Hans Selye is often referred to as the ‘father of stress research’ |

During the alarm Reaction, the stressor activates the body to prepare for fight – to fight off an aggressor or predator – or flight – to run away as fast as you can from an aggressor or predator.
Alarm Reaction: Electrical and hormonal signals are involved in mobilizing the energy needed for an emergency. Heart rate, breathing and perspiration increase. The pupils of the eyes dilate. Adrenalin and Cortisol are released. Stored energy floods the blood stream. Selye suggests that if stress is strong enough death may result during the Alarm Reaction.
Resistance: During the resistance stage of adaptation to stress, the signs of alarm reaction are diminished to non existent.
Exhaustion: However, if the stressful stimuli or responses are not diminished – here is where the problem lies – the stage of resistance is followed immediately by a stage of exhaustion. During this stage the exposure to a stressor has nearly depleted the body’s adaptive energy. The signs and experience of the initial alarm reaction reappear, but, they do not abate. Resistance is decreased and illness may follow.
The General Adaptation Syndrome has great importance in an early theory of stress and disease. It motivated much research contributing to our understanding of stress and resistance as factors in every illness. Stress may interfere with our ability to resist most diseases.

OK – so it really is vitally important that you do something to change your responses to stress!
Talk to us – we can help.
Whatever your problem, that you are dealing with, work, relationships, illness and so on – we can help.
We can help you because we now know that we can learn to manage stress – we can learn to chose our state – we can learn to be calm, relaxed, uninvolved, humourous – and so on, whatever is appropriate for you in any given or chosen situation we can teach you how to manage your state.
This of course does not mean that you will lack spontaneity – when it is appropriate to be, lets say, sad – or indeed happy, joyous or humourous.
Stress if it is appropriate for you and your situation in life – can be enjoyed as a challenge rather than as a threat!
Like I said – please feel free to talk to us – we will be delighted to hear from you.
FREE ASSESSMENT CONSULTATION
Your first session will be an ASSESSMENT CONSULTATION. This session is FREE of charge. You will be able to ask me all the questions you need and also inform me of anything that you think and feel is important and relevant. I will establish with you what you need and want to achieve from your Therapy and structure for you a treatment plan.
However if I think that working with me does not seem to be the most effective method of resolving your difficulties, symptoms or problem I will be able to talk to you about other ways you can receive help that could be more beneficial.
If you have an idea of what you would like to achieve from working with me please go to appointments to book your ASSESSMENT CONSULTATION
If you need further advice or information about this problem we will be delighted to hear from you. You will find us friendly, professional and we will treat anything you may say or ask of us in the strictest confidence.

Your ASSESSMENT CONSULTATION will be booked for you at a time and date that is convenient for you and will last for approximately one hour. This session is Free – and can be done by phone, SKYPE, or face to face at my consulting rooms in Keswick, Cumbria, in the English Lake District. If travelling to Keswick for a weekly session is unwieldy for you I can often conduct Therapy Sessions by phone. However face to face Work, though not always essential, can often be much better, in that for example, by phone you may tell me that you are comfortable and relaxed, and face to face I can observe from you breathing, heart rate and so on that in fact you are uncomfortable.
Also go to Therapeutic Breaks in The Heart of the English Lake district for information on our accommodation – which is a sweet cosy cottage, which sleep four people right on the banks of the beautiful River Greta.
Many clients who have worked with me have often said: “I have several of the symptoms on your list – where do I begin?” during your ASSESSMENT CONSULTATION I will help you to discover where you need to begin, and often several symptoms or problems will be resolved and healed during the course of therapy.
Whatever your problem I can help!
