Healing Overwhelming Stress
Being Stuck in Survival Mode
Are you noticing...
When stress builds beyond what your system can carry, it can start affecting everything, and therapy for overwhelming stress can help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface. You might notice constant tension or restlessness, as if your body can’t find an “off” switch. You might notice racing thoughts at night that replay conversations, decisions, or worst-case scenarios. You might also notice moments of shutdown or numbness, where even simple tasks feel like too much.
These experiences often happen when the nervous system has been running on overdrive for too long. Stress counseling and somatic therapy for stress help bring awareness to what your body has been carrying and offer ways to release the pressure with compassion instead of judgment.

Healing is Possible
Healing from chronic overwhelm doesn’t come from pushing harder or trying to “calm down.” Therapy for overwhelming stress creates space for your nervous system to gradually shift out of survival mode. Through trauma-informed approaches like EMDR, IFS, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation therapy, stress responses can soften as your system feels safer.
This kind of support helps untangle fight-or-flight patterns, reduce reactivity, and create room for grounded energy rather than constant exhaustion. Over time, working with an anxiety and overwhelm therapist can help your body and mind settle, reconnect, and move through daily life from a steadier, more regulated place.
