![Photo of Margaret Denise Brauns, MS, LMFT, Marriage & Family Therapist](https://photos.psychologytoday.com/ebdd69b8-c613-45f2-a0fc-8be4b920f7b4/2/320x400.jpeg)
Whether you are working, a full time student or parenting, chronic stress can harm our health and relationships. Research on stress has determined that chronic stress decreases our life span by 6-7 years and contributes to health issues. Managing stress is not enough: learning to reduce stress and manage our emotions about stressful circumstances is the goal. This group will focus on identifying stressors, understanding the impact on health and relationships, and learning ways to stress less and enjoy life. If you are struggling with health or relational issues related to stress, this is the group for you.
