Are you constantly on edge, feeling wired and tired, or numb and shut down? If you've been stressed for years, your nervous system likely oscillates between hyper-arousal (fight/flight) and hypo-arousal (freeze/shut down/fawn), making it difficult to experience true regulation – your 'window of tolerance.' This is common for first responders, hospital workers, individuals in stressful environments, or those dealing with addiction in their family or abusive relationships. At Compassion Works Counseling & Consulting, we're here to help you regain balance. Find expert support for chronic stress & anxiety therapy in Frisco, TX, and through virtual sessions across Texas.
Stress is the body's physical, mental, and emotional response to any demand, challenge, or threat—whether real or perceived. When stress becomes chronic, your nervous system struggles to return to a balanced state, impacting every aspect of your life. We address both self-induced stress (like intense exercise or maintaining unhealthy relationships) and stressors that happen to us (such as job loss, divorce, or changes in health).
Chronic stress can trap your nervous system in survival modes:
Chronic stress manifests physically, emotionally, cognitively, and behaviorally. If you're experiencing these signs, our specialized chronic stress & anxiety therapy can help:
At Compassion Works, we go beyond traditional methods to help you manage and overcome chronic stress and anxiety. Our approach focuses on understanding and retraining your nervous system:
There's no 'one size fits all' approach to managing chronic stress. However, our method excels by reframing stress not as a personal failure, but as a biological state rooted in your autonomic nervous system. This Polyvagal theoretical lens helps reduce shame and empowers you to understand your body's reactions. Learning somatic and sensorimotor psychotherapy tools helps increase your window of tolerance, capacity to manage stress, and decreases fear of your body's responses to chronic demands or traumatic experiences. This leads to profound, sustainable shifts towards calm and control.
Our compassionate approach is rooted in genuine understanding of nervous system dysregulation. We empathize with the daily toll of chronic stress and anxiety, bringing not just empathy but also a biological lens (Polyvagal Theory) to truly meet you where you are and guide you towards balance.
We move beyond just cognitive strategies, integrating somatic tools and nervous system regulation training to address how stress is held in your body. This comprehensive care helps you widen your 'window of tolerance' and build resilience from the inside out.
