Managing Stress: Understanding Responses and Practicing Mindfulness
Day 2 | Emocare – Counselling & Life Coaching
Understanding Stress in Modern Life
Stress is a natural psychological and physiological response to perceived demands or threats. While short-term stress can motivate action, prolonged stress negatively impacts emotional balance, physical health, and decision-making abilities.
This Day 2 module by Emocare – Counselling & Life Coaching focuses on helping individuals understand stress responses and develop mindfulness-based coping strategies.
Types of Stress Responses
- Fight Response – reacting aggressively to perceived threats
- Flight Response – avoiding or escaping stressful situations
- Freeze Response – feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally numb
Understanding these responses enables clients to recognise automatic patterns and shift toward healthier emotional regulation.
Practicing Mindfulness for Stress Management
Mindfulness is the practice of maintaining awareness of the present moment without judgment. It plays a crucial role in stress reduction by calming the nervous system and increasing self-awareness.
- Mindful Breathing to regulate emotional arousal
- Body Scan techniques for physical tension release
- Mindful Observation to reduce mental overload
- Acceptance-based awareness for emotional balance
