The Impact of Stress on the Body and Mind Psychosomatic Approach and Methods to Combat Stress

Abstract

Stress affects both the body and mind, as well as the behavior. For this reason it is important
to know what are the causes of stress, what are the effects, symptoms and psychosomatic
manifestations, as well as the solutions, the ways to combat stress and methods of self-regulation. The
way we ensure our personal resilience regarding daily challenges and high-impact events in our lives
is critical. Thus, it will increase tolerance to difficult bodily sensations and suppressed emotions to
reduce uncontrolled reactions in relationships with others and will increase our quality of life.By
exploring the somatic dimension in psychology, we can expand our ability to connect with our body
and emotions, to regulate our nervous system, and increase our capacity to connect with others. These
therapeutic methods centered on the body and the emotions have an important role in managing stress,
preventing burnout, various diseases and conditions, and recovering from trauma. The psychosomatic
approach provides useful tools for regulating the nervous system, increasing resilience, reducing
symptoms and improving our lives by promoting well-being and health.
