About It's Complicated

In 2019, two therapists set out to tackle a complicated problem.

The psychiatrist Carl Jung once wrote that, “Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble”. One does not have to be a therapist, though, to realize that life is complicated. But finding the right therapist, who you can build a strong relationship with, shouldn’t have to be. This is the founding principle of It’s Complicated.Since our start, we've helped over 23,000 clients and counting, offering thousands of free crisis support hours, and built thriving therapy communities in Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Munich, and Athens.

Learn more about therapists who can help with Stress

What is stress?

Stress is a natural physiological response to demands or pressures in life, whether they be physical, emotional, or psychological. While some level of stress can be motivating and even beneficial, chronic or excessive stress can have detrimental effects on both mental and physical health. Common stressors include work or school deadlines, financial pressures, relationship conflicts, and major life changes. When stress becomes overwhelming or prolonged, it can lead to symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Understanding stress involves recognising its impact on overall well-being and learning effective strategies to manage and mitigate its effects.

 

Effective treatment for stress

Fortunately, there are numerous effective strategies and interventions available to help individuals manage and reduce stress levels. One of the most effective approaches is stress management therapy, which typically involves learning coping skills, relaxation techniques, and stress-reduction strategies to better handle life's challenges. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is often used to help individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours contributing to stress. Additionally, mindfulness-based interventions, such as mindfulness meditation and yoga, have been shown to be effective in reducing stress and promoting relaxation. Lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, healthy eating, adequate sleep, and social support, can also play a crucial role in stress management.

 

Find the right therapist on It’s Complicated

It may take some exploration and open communication with potential therapists to discover the approach and therapist that aligns best with your needs and preferences. Trusting your instincts and being patient with yourself throughout this process can help alleviate some of the overwhelm and lead to a smoother therapeutic journey. If you are interested in therapy to assist you in improving your life quality, It's Complicated operates in nearly 100 languages, offering both online and in-person sessions. With a diverse network of over 1,500 mental health professionals spanning 80+ countries, you can easily connect with accredited psychologists who can support you in managing stress.
