Is this true for you? Depression and stress affect your emotions, your physical wellness, and the quality of your life and relationships.
Here are just a few ways stress can affect you: relationship problems, intimacy difficulties, depression, anxiety, heart attacks, stroke, high blood pressure, and immune system disturbances. Even common colds last longer when we are stressed!

Myth: Stress helps you get a lot done.
Stress clouds our thinking and actually makes simple tasks take longer. However, when you have easy ways to release stress throughout the day, you have more energy and more cognitive awareness. This means life easier.
Don’t let stress eat away at your health and your relationships.
At IE Counseling Center, we want to help you reduce and release your stress – and are looking forward to helping you find the ease, good health, and happiness you deserve.
