Overcoming stress with counseling in 2023
Researchers in a 2002 study categorized stressful events by asking participants to rate stressful life events by taking a daily inventory of stressful events. The study included 1,031 participants; ages crossed the lifespan from 25-year-olds to 74 -year-olds. A group may vary in types of stress in the general population, but the study listed the following stress categories.
• Arguments/tension
• Work/school stressors
• Home stressors
• Health care concerns
• Financial concerns
It seems stress factors in 2023 are no different from 2002, but the “good news out of all this” shows how counseling helps. In fact, Dan Siegel’s research in IPNB (interpersonal neurobiology) shows how those in counseling develop empathy, gain emotional regulation, and can overcome stressors through the counseling relationship by regulation of the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical) axis in the brain. The HPA axis has a direct influence on cortisol, a hormone related to stress.
