Stress is something that all humans experience. Stress occurs when the demands on us outweigh our resources to cope with these demands. Stress can occur in any aspect of our lives, such as work, finances, relationships or health. Usually periods of stress pass naturally and we move on with life. However there are times when stress becomes overwhelming; when it begins to have major impacts on our physical health, our ability to complete everyday tasks, and our relationships with others. It can be useful to get psychological assistance to deal with these times.
