For some people, acrophobia or fear of heights is a significant stress trigger. While my wife is blissfully relaxed in cable cars and driving on high mountains, I become a quivering mess. My first awareness of this was driving up to a British hill station in north-eastern India. The 6000 feet climb caused me huge stress and I had to figure how high and I could relieve the stress Different experiences trigger different levels of stress for people. Some people get a rush out of extreme sports while others are terrified at the thought of doing such dangerous things. For me, it is heights like to think of a way of reducing the stress. My best stress relief What makes you stressed and worried? Spiders, snakes, people, tests, and public speaking are very common stressors. Look at what I’m going to say and work out which ones are problems for you. There are many workplace triggers that induce stress for people. These include poor role description, inadequate working environment, boring work, being asked to do things that don’t fit your skill set, inadequate or insufficient training, and poor bosses. Sometimes the work culture that creates stress, racism, sexual harassment, discriminatory treatment and so. There are many potential triggers in the workplace and the job for you is to find the best stress relief mechanisms. People have their own list of personal fears. Having grown up on a farm, I’m not particularly scared of snakes but many of my friends are terrified. A dinner party where you are meant to look good and sound smart can be quite stressful. Some people worry about their body shape because they are too fat. As most of us have an extended family, and we assume responsibility for our family, we can worry about things like education, unwanted pregnancies, and financial difficulties. Worse, parents worry about their children becoming drug dependent. Relationship problems one of the major causes of people seek therapy. There are plenty of family triggers for stress. We each need to know what it is that causes stress and we have to learn how to relieve the stress. I use a simple acronym to help people manage their stress - BE CALM. It is B for build, E for examine, C for confront, A for accept, L for let go (forgive, forget), and M for Move on with your life. I explain this more carefully in clinical settings but the important point is that we can map out a program to relieve and manage stress very well.
