Stress at Work?
Workplace Stress is extremely common and one
reason why 60% of us hate going to work. Work-related stress
victims may notice any of a wide variety of symptoms. Specifically:
These physical symptoms:
-
Palpitations (fluttering in the chest or a sense
of impending doom)
-
Constant tiredness and/or difficulty sleeping
-
loss of appetite or unusual eating habits
-
Cramps, dizziness, constipation, chest pains,
breathlessness
|
These mental & behavioural symptoms:
-
Persistent anger or crying
-
Inability to concentrate, racing repetitive
thinking
-
Avoiding people and situations
-
Unusual compulsive behaviours
|
And of course, you'll be generally miserable.
Workplace Stress
Stress arises when we perceive situations as (a) threatening us, and
(b) being largely beyond our control. This combination leads to fear,
and fear is what stress is centrally about. It's a very unpleasant feeling,
and it can consume lives. Stress at work is no different in origin. You
see something in your work-place as a threat, and you have so far, been
unable to eliminate it. Common examples include un-manageable workload,
bullying, sexual harassment, social exclusion, sink-or-swim management,
persistently poor performance reviews, fear or change or redundancy. Since
most of us have to enter a workplace daily to earn our livings, when the
workplace is stressfully, lives are seriously affected.
Stress Relief in the Workplace
I work with many clients facing stressful working lives. Their situations
and their personal make-up vary widely, but in most cases, I'm able to
help my clients make their working lives far better. Many of the insights
I have gained and the techniques I've developed over the years are now
embodied in my new book.
