What comes up for you when you think of the word ‘stress’? Most of us would probably say that stress was negative, harmful, and something we would avoid if we could.

Read out latest blog to find out about how some types of stress can be useful and how therapy can help you manage stress in your life. https://lnkd.in/e-r6_vR5 #stress #stressawareness #mentalhealth #therapy #counselling
