A Therapeutic Response to Stress and its effect on Physical Health

“Stress is the physical and psychological effects we experience as a result of the way we
react to changes in the surrounding environment …”
Pavel Stoyanov

In this workshop I would like to both share and explore with participants, my own
experiences

and perspectives on working with clients who seek help and support with issues
around stress, both past and present, and the effects with which they are
physically suffering from.

My hope is that this exploration will result
in an in depth understanding of the various aspects of stress, and why it is
that looking at the Organism as a whole…both psychologically AND
physically, can lead to healing for the client.

By the use of case study discussion/exercise and role play, participants will
encouraged to examine various aspects of stress: types/manifestations of
stress; mental and physical health; ‘carer’ stress; ‘addiction’ to
stress; how to support clients; support for the therapist.

In addition to the above, Marion has received specialist training in working with
Cancer issues from the cancer Counselling trust, also Training in working with
families affected by physical Illness from The Tavistock & Portman NHS
Trust.

I have worked for many different organisations, some of which include School

practice, am a freelance trainer, supervisor and consultant, for professionals

It was when I began working as a Team Facilitator at a Hospice, where I supported
a team of Nurses, Doctors and Carers that I began to be interested the relational and psychological connection of
palliative care staff, who are caring for patients who are suffering with
terminal illness.It has become a passion of mine to continue
what I consider to be a ‘journey’ of the human spirit in responding to
therapeutic relationships, in the face of a diagnosis of terminal disease.

I continue, and follow this passion through with my research and commitment to
understanding how the body responds to stress….both psychologically and
physically, including the possible connection between stress and some cancers
and some chronic illnesses.
