The most important aspect of stress is understanding how significantly it affects our body and mind. Stress has even made breaking news recently, such as war in Ukraine, COVID-19, public shootings, let alone, job pressure, financial problems, relationship issues, sleep deprivation and many others.
According to the American Institute of Stress, it has been estimated that:

• 44% of Americans feel more stressed than they did 5 years ago
• 3 out of 4 doctor visits are for stress related ailments
• Stress is a basic cause of 60% of all human illnesses and diseases
• 44% of stressed people lose sleep every night
• 40% of stressed people overeat or eat unhealthy food
• Stress shrinks the brain, which can lead to future psychiatric problems

It is estimated that 80% to 90% of all industrial accidents are related to personal problems and employees’ inability to handle stress, and about 50% of job absenteeism is caused by stress

Stress is not only around us and within us, it gradually killing us!!!
The morbidity and mortality due to stress-related illness is alarming. Furthermore, emotional stress is a major contributing factor to the six most leading causes of death in the United States: cancer, coronary heart disease, accidental injuries, respiratory disorders, cirrhosis of the liver and suicide.

This is often because the impact of stressful situations can often stay with us, and impair our ability to keep functioning in a healthy and effective way.

Stress often affects our physiology first. This is where biofeedback can help, and why it is so important to understand how stress has already manifested and created deviations from physiological norms. You will not only see your level of sensitivity to stress, but you will learn how to improve these physiological functions and manage your stress response by using the power of your mind.
You will receive direct visual or audio feedback on how your heart, nervous system, blood vessels, muscles and breathing directly relate to your stress response. This can also provide valuable insight for regulating your stress response for achieving peak performance in your career, personal life, academic life, or any other endeavor. Last but not least, the modality of biofeedback will also help you improve recovery times after stressful events, and help minimize the aftermath of stress by diffusing it quickly. We can’t avoid stress, but we can learn to manage it! And your stress profile, which is one of three offerings, will be the first step in your training.

Stress profiling, mind-body techniques and intervention through biofeedback practice and principles is one of the most widely underestimated, but extraordinarily effective, ways to train the human body to develop resiliency to stress. Since the stress response is a natural function of the human body present in everyone, anyone could benefit from a stress profile, especially for those that do not recognize or are not dealing with high levels of stress.

Everybody today would be benefit from taking stress profile and learning how to control response to stress.
