Stress is the body’s reaction to harmful, physical or mental, situations — whether they are real or perceived. Stress affects us all. You may notice symptoms of stress when disciplining your kids, during busy times at work, when managing your finances, or when coping with a challenging relationship. Stress is everywhere. And while a little stress is OK — some stress is actually beneficial — too much stress can wear you down and make you sick, both mentally and physically. Our bodies are designed to handle small doses of stress. But, we are not equipped to handle long-term, chronic stress without ill consequences.
Stress can affect all aspects of your life, including your emotions, behaviors, thinking ability, and physical health. No part of the body is immune. But, because people handle stress differently, symptoms of stress can vary.

RTT will get you the understanding you need of where the stress is coming from and tools to manage it. You can train your mind to overcome stress once life sabotaging behaviors and beliefs are removed. Regression is used to observe and understand the most influential events in a client’s life and figure out how these events are still affecting their life. Your events from childhood are still with you and can keep you from being effective with managing the stress.
