What is a stress container
What is the Stress Container?
It is a way to help us understand our stressors and current coping mechanisms to help us evaluate where we are and how we can take steps to cope. Our containers can fill up with stressors and at times can overflow – this is when we can experience symptoms of stress such as sleep difficulties, constant worrying, short temper, headaches, stomach aches, muscle tension etc.
The container helps us to understand why things that don’t ordinarily cause us stress can affect us more at some times than at others; since when your container is already full the smallest thing can be the thing that causes the container to overflow. It also explains why we all react differently to the things that life throws at us since we all have different sized containers.
Download the resource and learn what is in your stress container and understand your current stresses and copimg mechanisms.
