Stress Management

Stress Management in Newport Beach, CA

The frantic pace of our lives, multiple demands on our time, the expectation of multitasking, and the requirement of constant availability via cell phones or emails have left us, as a nation, stressed and anxious. That is reality without even factoring in our own personal stressors!  Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) was originally developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, M.D. as a medical intervention  to help patients facing serious illness in ordr to reduce and manage stress. It has since become the gold standard for treatment of Psychological and Environmental stressors also.

MBSR consists of a series of easy to learn techniques and tools such as breathwork, movement, body scans, focused meditation, improved communication,boundary setting and other  practices. The key word is practice. We want to practice our learned skills so they are handy at times of stress or upset. Trying to apply them in the moment, without the practice benefit of the skills becoming semi automatic doesn't fully work. The rewards are great and and the practices worthwhile to make the inevitable stress in our lives more manageable
