Why Stress Becomes Ongoing

Stress does not always resolve when circumstances change.

Many people expect relief after a transition.
Instead, they notice:
• ongoing irritability
• low energy
• emotional sensitivity
• difficulty concentrating

This often reflects a nervous system that has not fully reset.

Sustained stress impacts:
• emotional regulation
• attention
• relationships
• physical energy

DBT helps individuals:
• recognize ongoing activation
• reduce emotional intensity
• build regulation skills
• respond with more awareness

Support allows the system to stabilize over time.
