Stress Management

Do you struggle to get out of bed in the morning?

Are you suffering from headaches, insomnia, shortness of breath, unexplained stomach pains, or chronic tiredness?

Are your relationships suffering because of your workload? Is your personal life permanently on hold because of your work?

Would you like to feel alive and healthy again and rediscover your zest for life?

stress_125 Employers are legally obliged to control workplace stress, just as they must control any other workplace health hazard. The 1989 Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act obliges them to identify and safeguard against all risks to health and safety.

Under the legislation, your employer has a ‘duty of care’ to all employees and must consider whether stress is a risk when they identify health hazards and assess risks. If a risk is identified, your employer is obliged to adopt measures to eliminate or control it.

Stress occurs not only as a result of overwork, but also in major watershed periods in our lives when we move through transition - such as leaving home, losing a family member, having children, separation, mid-life, children leaving home etc.

If you work or live with high levels of pressure over a prolonged period, you will increase the likelihood of suffering from a stress related illness such as:

Insomnia
Headaches/Migraines
High Blood Pressure
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Depression
Chronic Fatigue
Poor Immunity

All of these symptoms are signals of your body saying 'hey, I cannot take anymore, I am going to shut down completely if you don't do anything about this'.

Xenergie has developed a comprehensive Stress Management Programme that supports you on four levels - Emotional, Physical, Mental, and Spiritual.

The programme represents a journey of self-discovery through identifying the factors behind your stress, way back into your personality type and thinking patterns, reconnecting you with your sense of self, through to practical exercises and treatments for relaxation, self-nurturing and coping with life.

Following an initial lifestyle/stress consultation and assessment, an individual tailored programme is designed to suit your particular needs or to help employees and managers improve their ability to cope effectively with stress.

We can integrate stress management courses within your EAP as they can be tailored in content and can vary in duration, from hour-long ‘taster’ workshops to two-day courses.
