Relationship Reset: Get Back the Ability to Cope

People seek help from an acupuncturist for reasons other than physical pain. Acupuncture can also help alleviate mental and emotional issues, such as stress.

Everyone gets overwhelmed from time to time, but it’s not unusual for someone to reach a point where they can no longer cope well with their stress. Experts recommend making lifestyle changes when it becomes unmanageable. 

Why lifestyle changes don’t always work

Experts suggest getting enough sleep to help cope with stress—but stress can also contribute to insomnia. Avoiding caffeine and alcohol can also calm stress, but if you’re having trouble sleeping, sometimes that morning jolt of java can seem like the only way to force productivity and a glass of wine at night can feel like the only way to relax.

And stress can cause wear and tear on the physical body as well, leading to additional health problems. Many people find themselves locked in a vicious cycle where they just try to get through the day. Their relationships suffer and that feeds back into increased overwhelm—which is no way to live.
