Any job can have stressful elements, even if you love what you do. In the short term, you may experience pressure to meet a deadline or to fulfill a challenging obligation. But when work stress becomes chronic, it can be overwhelming—and harmful to both physical and emotional health. In fact, a stress survey found that work is consistently cited as a significant source of stress by a majority of Americans. You can’t always avoid the tensions that occur on the job, yet you can take steps to manage work-related stress.

If you’d like to discuss managing your stress, the professionals at The Genesis Therapy Center are here to help. With nearly 40 years in Chicagoland, you’ll be glad you reached out. Visit www.GenesisTherapy.org or call 708-535-7320.
