A lot of what we do as psychologists is teach our clients how to be resilient. Often, clients come to therapy hoping to reduce external stress in their lives. We can do a bit of that- leave a toxic job or set boundaries for example- but really, reducing stress isn’t our main goal in therapy. The truth is, for better or worse, there’s going to be a certain about of challenge or difficulty in your life. Just a baseline level of stress that never really goes away.
