Therapy teaches us what stress is and how it affects our lives. We first learn to recognize its various forms and the ways in which it affects our behaviour and feelings. We recognize what causes and feeds our stress and we use therapeutic tools to manage it properly. By gradually changing our way of thinking we begin to work with stress, in order to be less affected by it.
Relaxation training helps us reduce the physical effects of stress through breathing and visualisation, which, when they become a part of everyday life, they positively influence our thoughts, allowing us to maintain our mental clarity and tranquillity even in moments of difficulty.
In the Personal Development and Self-Awareness Centre, GIA TIN ITHAKI, among other relaxation techniques, we also offer Autogenic Relaxation training (Link).
