STRESS - THE PROBLEM

NHS -WHAT A GP SAYS ABOUT THE DANGERS OF UNATTENDED STRESS

ALAN Cohen has been a GP for over 20 years and is a Primary Health Advisor for the National Institute of Mental Health.  He states..“Stress is how the body reacts to external pressures that we perceive to be difficult, uncomfortable. It creates both physical changes in the body, sweating, or worry, or frustration, or anger....So common causes of stress are things like pressures at work, for example, pressures at home, pressures around money, pressures around employment, especially nowadays. When stress becomes bad for you, the commonest sort of feelings that one gets inside oneself is one of either anxiety and/or depression.You feel unable to manage things, unable to think clearly, everything becomes an effort, you're slowed up, as well as feeling on edge, unable to concentrate, tearful and a whole variety of these uncomfortable emotions. Often these are associated with physical symptoms as well. So you might get headaches, tummy ache, back ache, and one can describe these as being linked to the mental health problem because of the way the body works, it doesn't separate mind and body…..(Source NHS website) 

POETRY - A GREAT WELLBEING SOLUTION

POETRY ‘THERAPY’

WE CAN HELP YOU - RIGHT NOW!

WE CAN HELP YOU - RIGHT NOW!

Poetry is not a panacea for all stress related problems, however for centuries it has been recognised and used as a remedy to aid stress relief. The pharmacist Eli Griefer, who was also a poet, offered people poems on prescriptions and eventually created "poem therapy" groups at hospitals. 



People facing adversity use poems as a coping mechanism, such as soldiers Rupert Brooke and Wilfred Owen, known as the War Poets, who are referenced in higher education.



Then there's the incredible "I have a dream..." speech by Dr Martin Luther King Junior, the Civil Rights Leader whose word mastery motivated generations. 


It’s therapeutic use is by no means a modern phenomenon, since thousands of years ago the ancient Egyptians wrote words down on papyrus and dissolved them in liquid as a medicine to heal their sick.
