About this talk

How many of your clients are operating in a state of constant low-grade stress they've come to accept as normal? And how often does chronic stress sit underneath the anxiety, burnout, or relationship difficulties they present with? Chronic stress isn't just acute stress that's gone on too long. It reshapes the nervous system, affects cognitive function, and shows up in the body in ways that can be easy to miss – or mistake for something else. This professional workshop explores the science of what happens when stress becomes a baseline rather than a response. You'll leave with a deeper understanding of chronic stress and its wide-reaching effects – and practical approaches to help clients recognise it and begin to recover. Who is this for? This workshop is designed for therapists, counsellors, psychologists, coaches, and other professionals who work with stressed, anxious or burnt-out clients. Whether you're seeing clients in high-pressure careers, caregiving roles, or simply struggling to switch off, this session offers theory, evidence, and practical application. Please note: This is a professional-level workshop. The content assumes familiarity with therapeutic concepts and clinical practice.
