Stress & Emotion Management

Stress and emotions: signals to listen to

Stress and emotions are an integral part of life. They are natural and adaptive, but sometimes overwhelming. When they become uncontrollable, disrupt your relationships, or negatively impact your quality of life, it can be helpful to consult a professional.

We support you in a caring approach to better understand your emotions, learn to regulate them and reduce the effects of chronic stress on your mental and physical health.

Emotions: Understanding them better to experience them better

Emotions are neither “good” nor “bad.” They are important messengers that inform us about our needs and limits. Yet, many people have learned to repress them, minimize them, or be ashamed of them.

  • Our psychologists can help you with:

  • Identify and name your emotions

  • Developing emotional intelligence

  • Learn emotional regulation techniques

  • Finding healthy ways to express anger, fear, sadness, joy, etc.

  • To calm impulsive or disproportionate reactions
