Stress is not inherently harmful. In fact, it does serve a purpose. Your body’s stress response is meant to protect you from danger. It releases chemicals and hormones to aid the “fight or flight” response. This quickens your pulse, increases your breathing rate, and tenses your muscles. Oxygen shoots toward your brain, and your immune system is charged with a short boost.

Stress Power?

This month is Stress Awareness Month.


That racing heart and quick breathing aren't your body betraying you - they're actually your inner superhero powers activating! 


Your stress response is like your personal bodyguard, releasing chemicals that prep you for action. But here's the thing: while a little stress can be your friend, life sometimes throws more at us than we can handle. Job changes, loss, relationship struggles - we've all been there.


The good news? You've got more power than you think. Resilience isn't some magical trait - it's a skill you can build. Curious about how you handle life's curveballs? Take our quick stress assessment to discover your resilience score and get strategic tips for bouncing back stronger.

Featured Workshops & Programs

MindBody Fitness Program

Research shows that participation in a combined, wellness counseling + fitness coaching program produces greater long term wellness benefits than participation in either of these programs alone.

We've teamed up with TRV | FIT gym to offer a joint, MindBody Fitness program where gym members and counseling clients participate in a combined fitness and counseling program tailored to their specific needs and interests.

Marriage Workshop

Every strong marriage has moments when it needs a tune-up. That's why John Gottman, Ph.D., spent four decades studying what actually works in successful marriages. Along with his wife and fellow therapist, Julie Gottman, Ph.D., he discovered that happy couples share seven specific habits—habits you can learn.

Our experienced Amplified Life counselors, specially trained in Gottman methods, will guide you through exercises and discussions that bring these principles to life.
