Stress has previously been described as "the disturbance of one’s biological, psychological and social dimensions, secondary to environmental challenges or perceived threats (Jeter, Slutsky, Singh, & Khalsa, 2015)." But with Covid-19 this definition may need updating because now more than ever do we see stress related to our environmental challenges. 
 
Stress is found everywhere within family, businesses, schools, universities or any other economic or social activity. People are exposed to various stressful situations from birth up until death but what can be derived from previous studies is that stress impacts everyone differently

Stressors may be varied and much increased in this modern world and a more holistic view should be used in order to be more effective in the correct ways of educating and assisting people that are experiencing stress. There is no real measure of the ‘normality’ of stress as this is unique to each individual. But what remains clear is that we need the tools to help us to deal with the stressors we now face. I have personally used the tools I offer and they have helped me in such a powerful way that I am more driven than ever to share them.

Treatments
