Tips on addressing any problem with ease with Svitlana Chechel

Stress is all around us; it can get the best of us and often we are not able to problem solve in a calm and effective state. What can we do about this? I often tell my clients to treat yourself like you would a friend; with kindness and compassion. In stressful situations we can be so critical of ourselves which in return lead to more stress and overall low mood. Let’s look into this a bit deeper; when we are critical of our selves the mind keeps finding other problems that were not even there, to break this chain of negative thinking reinforce positive thought.This can be done through treating yourself like you would a fiend. What does that mean exactly it means taking a step back from your problem to oversea what is happening in the here and now. Once we take a step back we are able to address any problem with ease and confidence. If you are s till struggling with problem solving and are unable to address stressful situations with ease we suggest you reach out to your treating therapist and ask about CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy). It’s a great way to challenge your thoughts and understand that you are in control!
