Stress
Description:
Stress and anxiety are emotional responses that may be caused by inappropriate or exaggerated sympathetic nervous system reactions. Symptoms will vary from person to person, depending on the trigger.
Precautions:
Gentle, non-intrusive massage may be helpful in alleviating stress. In extreme cases it is important to work together as a team with the client's mental health provider. Precautions need to be taken with regard to boundaries, especially in cases of abuse.
