WCnewsmagazine Recognizing the effects of stress and getting help By June Wytock, Counseling Center Stress is an inevitable part of life. However, some stressors are more difficult to cope with than others. A litle bit of stress can be motivating, but too much stress can be overwhelming. Each of us has our stress limit and our individual coping style. It is important to understand your style, recognize when you are experiencing overload and have ways to bring your stress down to a manageable level Some people are somatisizers; thatis, we feel our stress in bodily ways, such as intestinal pain, headaches or heart palpitations. Others may be emoters; that is, we tend to express our emotions when stressed. Examples of expressing emotions from stress include crying, complaining or getting depressed. How do you express your stress? How do you know when you are too stressed and how do you cope? Does your coping style release stress and help you cope, or not? Just as there are different ways of expressing stress, there are different ways to cope. Coping styles can be divided into those behaviors that are adaptive and those that are maladaptive. This means that some behaviors are helpful and effective in reducing your stress, while other behaviors are not. Examples of adaptive coping could be reducing your academic course load (if academic pressures are too high), or taking breaks to have fun (if you are overly focused on academics to the exclusion of having friends or leaving your computer). Some examples of maladaptive coping are getting drunk (to escape reality), sudden outbursts of anger and excessive sleeping. If you appear to fit into the group of maladaptive coping, then this can be a sign for you to pay attention, realize you are overwhelmed and make some changes in your life. It also can be an opportunity to reach out for help. One way to reach out for help is turning to a trusted friend to talk. However, sometimes a friend may not be available, or your reaction feels bigger than what your friend can handle. Whether your stress is huge or small, or whether or not you have a friend available, it is important to know that counseling services are available here on campus and can help you learn how to better manage or reduce your stress. Counseling & Psychological Services (CPS) is located on the second floor of the Bird building, just upstairs from the Health Center. All services are free and confidential. Confidential means that the sessions are private and no one will know about what occurs in a counseling session unless you give your signed permission. Services include individual, couples, group and emergency services. Just SPARC call 227-7469 (M F, 8 AM 5 PM) if you want to make an appointment or talk to a counselor for a free consultation. if you are in an emergency situation where you need immediate assistance, call 227-7301 (after 5 PM, M F, or on weekends) and ask for the counselor-on-call, Scheduled sessions are usually on a weekly basis over a limited time Period. Here are some of the groups available this spring ( an asterisk marks those groups that require a pre-group session with group facilitator to find out more about the group and work out the best day and time for the group to meet): + Silent Meditation - Learn and practice how to meditate, meets Thursdays from 12:15 ~ 12:45 PM + Eating Issues and Body Image" Get support to improve your coping skills and healthy behavior + Unwind Before You Unravel" - Reduce your stress through leaming and practicing relaxation techniques + Relationships" - Leam how to initiate and sustain healthy relationships + Struggles with Substances" - Learn to identify ways substances affect you or others and healthy coping strategies + Survivors of Sexual Assault/Abuse* Experience support and have the opportunity to work through, feelings resulting from trauma + African American Womens Group" - Gain a stronger sense of unity and support + Rainbow Room* - Receive respect and support in process of exploring questions about sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or identity different from the heterosexual norm If your stress is too high and your coping skills are inadequate, do not put off getting help in some way whether or not you come to the Counseling Center. Learning to cope with stress in a healthy way now can help you build habits that will effect you throughout your life, possibly even save your life. Also, keep in mind, if you are interested in coming for counseling but do not think you have time, your attendance at some counseling groups may satisfy academic requirement for a personal project or extra credit 80 you may be able to get help at the same time as getting class credit. Ask your instructor about this possibilty. Heard of SPARC? Safe Ride? Seen the yellow Keytags for which you can win money just by carrying them? If you answered no to any of these questions, take heed! You need to be in the know! SPARC, The Study to Prevent Alcohol Related Consequences, is a project on campus whose objectives include: 1) Correcting misperceptions about student alcohol use 1) Creating an off campus shuttle as an alternative to drinking and driving LU. Reducing the consequences of high tisk drinking like academic problems, health problems, violence, relationship issues and more! SPARC coalition members spent the fall semester handing out bright yellow keytags with the message Now We Know and the statistic 64% of Wester students have 0-4 drinks when they socialize. We want you to know that the majority of Wester students make responsible and moderate choices. We also have randomly awarded $175 in cash prizes for students who have the keytag. Look for alist of winners names in the Westem Carolinian. We have $250 more to give away this semester, so get your keytag today! We also distributed a Safe Ride survey last fall and have proposed a limited shuttle that goes off campus. We are recruiting drivers for the Safe Ride shuttle that we hope to pilot a few weekends this spring. If you are interested in getting involved with SPARC, please contact Elizabeth Likis- Werle at 227-3774 or email elikis@email, wou,edu.
