Conquering Chronic Stress with Emotion Release Technique (ERT)

Are you feeling overwhelmed by chronic stress? You're not alone. In fact, chronic stress is a common complaint among 95% of my clients. Our society is set up to feed into the stress picture, and many of us are suffering the consequences. Fortunately, there are ways to tackle stress effectively.

Understanding Chronic Stress

Chronic stress is a massive cause of countless health issues. It can exacerbate every health condition, depleting vital nutrients necessary for optimal health. Stress can also be tricky to tackle if you don’t have the full picture. While stress-supportive nutrients, exercise, outdoor time, herbal remedies, adaptogens, and flower essences can ease some effects, they don’t truly address the root cause.

Introducing Emotion Release Technique (ERT)

Emotion Release Technique (ERT) works to tackle the underlying problem of chronic stress. I've used ERT to support my chronically stressed clients for years with fantastic results. Let’s explore how ERT works to address chronic stress.

Processing and Releasing Stress in the Nervous System

ERT works directly with the nervous system to address stress. Many people experience stressful situations but then suppress or ignore them, preventing their nervous system from completing the cycle from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest. This can lead to sympathetic dominance, which reduces stress tolerance.

ERT allows the nervous system to process and release stress, calming the sympathetic nervous system and giving the parasympathetic system a chance to function properly.

Identifying Underlying Drivers of Stress

Sometimes, stress stems from more than just a heavy workload or family chaos. Underlying beliefs and past traumas often contribute to chronic stress. These beliefs, often formed in childhood, might include thoughts like:

• It’s my job to keep everyone happy
• It’s not safe for me to ask for help
• I should be able to handle everything alone
• I’m a failure if I can't cope

Such beliefs can lead to taking on too much responsibility and feeling anxious or depressed. ERT helps identify and address these underlying drivers of stress.

Immediate Benefits of ERT

One of the remarkable benefits of ERT is that clients often feel better before they even leave the appointment. During sessions, signs of emotional processing like sighing, yawning, and taking deep breaths are common. Clients often report feeling lighter, calmer, and more optimistic by the end of the session.

Relieving the burden of chronic stress requires a multifaceted approach and a holistic lifestyle. ERT is a powerful tool that can significantly reduce stress and improve overall well-being.
