Stress Therapy Focused on Your Lasting Wellbeing
Understanding Trauma's Role and Our Treatment Approach
At Khiron Clinics, we understand that stress is more than just a reaction to life’s pressures. It’s often the result of unresolved trauma that has left a lasting impact on the body and mind. As a leading mental health clinic, we specialise in helping individuals not just manage stress but heal its root causes through stress treatment and trauma-focused care. By addressing the unresolved trauma beneath the surface, our stress relief therapy helps you achieve lasting recovery and emotional well-being.
At Khiron clinics, we see mental health issues as manifestations of unresolved trauma that leads to a dysregulated nervous system.
What Is Stress?
Stress is a natural response to challenging or overwhelming situations, but when it becomes chronic stress, it can severely impact your physical and mental health. Persistent stress can affect your ability to cope with everyday life and may lead to mood disorders, mental health disorders, or physical conditions like high blood pressure or irritable bowel syndrome.
Managing stress involves more than avoiding stressful situations; it’s about using effective stress management strategies and relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, breathing exercises, and physical activity. These practices help lower stress levels, calm the body’s fight or flight response, and promote mental well-being.
Signs of Stress:
Stress manifests in various ways, and the physical symptoms of stress may differ from person to person. Common signs include:
Irritability or frustration
Feeling overwhelmed or anxious
Trouble sleeping or insomnia
Fatigue or low energy
Physical tension or pain (headaches, muscle aches)
Difficulty concentrating
Digestive issues
Heightened heart rate or chest tightness
Stress can also have long-term effects on physical health and overall health, making it harder to bounce back from everyday challenges or avoid stress build-up.
What Causes Stress?
At Khiron Clinics, we recognise that stress is often the result of traumatic experiences that have not been processed or healed. While the external sources of stress (such as work, family, or personal life) can be significant, the deeper cause often lies within our nervous system and emotional regulation. This is why simply managing stress is not enough for lasting relief; our treatments for stress are designed to address the root cause and promote balance in the nervous system.
“Trauma is not what happens to you, but what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you.”
Trauma and Its Impact on Mental Health
Trauma occurs when something is too much, too fast, or too soon for the nervous system to process, leaving us without the support we needed at the time. Rather than being a memory of the past, trauma is the imprint it leaves on the body and mind, shaping how we think, feel, and respond in the present.
Trauma can be caused by a wide range of events, including childhood abuse, neglect, assault, painful or unstable relationships, or other unexpected and life-altering experiences. When these experiences are not processed, they can remain stored in the body and mind, leading to a dysregulated nervous system and long-term stress. This ongoing reaction affects both mental and physical health, often causing distressing symptoms and making everyday challenges harder to cope with over time.
Dysregulated Nervous System
When the body experiences trauma, it enters a heightened fight-or-flight response, preparing for danger even when it may not exist. This overstimulated state keeps the sympathetic nervous system dominant, leading to persistent stress levels and emotional signs such as anxiety or fear. Over time, this imbalance may worsen stress, reduce energy levels, and even lead to mental health disorders.
Through guided relaxation techniques, and alternative therapies like complementary and alternative therapies, we help clients move toward a relaxed state and restore equilibrium.
How We Treat Stress at Khiron Clinics
At Khiron Clinics, we go beyond treating symptoms of stress. We specialise in addressing the underlying dysregulation or trauma that often fuels stress responses. As a mental health clinic dedicated to healing, we offer a comprehensive treatment approach that focuses on the root causes of your stress, rather than just managing the symptoms.
Innovative Trauma-Based Treatment to Improve Mental Wellbeing
Our approach combines top-down approaches with bottom-up somatic therapies to address trauma on both a psychological and physical level. We believe that true healing comes from working with the nervous system to process and resolve the stored trauma. Through our therapies, we help you restore balance, relieve stress through targeting responses, and build resilience.
Our Treatment Modalities Include:
- Somatic Experiencing (SE): Focuses on bodily awareness and resolving stress stored in the body.
- Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP): Combines physical and psychological therapies to treat trauma.
- Polyvagal Informed Therapy: Uses the principles of polyvagal theory to help you feel safe in your body again.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS): Helps you understand and heal the internal parts of yourself affected by trauma.
- Trauma-Informed Stabilization Technique (TIST): Provides a structured approach to stabilize and heal from traumatic experiences.
- Neurofeedback and Brainspotting: Cutting-edge techniques to regulate the brain and reduce stress responses.
We work with you to understand your symptoms and help find the issues at the root of your experience, which are usually linked to unresolved trauma. Through finding the source of the issue, we are better equipped to help you on your path to recovery.
