How do you work with clients with stress?
Often when we are stressed, the first things to go are our body's basic needs. If our basic needs are not being addressed, it makes it almost impossible to see positive mental health changes, so I always like to start there. Once a client's basic needs are stabilized, we can focus on the specific areas that are causing them stress (e.g. jobs, relationships, etc) and discuss strategies to mitigate it.
