Career Stress and Relationships The effect of career stress on sufferers and a the people who care for them can be great putting enormous pressures on relationships. Help for the sufferer and the people who care and support them is availlable. Read on to find out more about this condition and how I can help both the people with career related stress and the people who love and support them. What is Stress? Stress is real. It can be caused by excessive demands or excessive boredom. It can be aggravated by the imagination or by the rules, beliefs and attitudes that we set ourselves. Extreme stress or overwhelm is defined as the physiological, mental and emotional response that occurs when a person reaches their limits of physical, mental and emotional tolerance. In short when your stress levels go up your tolerance levels go down. What is career stress? Career stress is the physiological, mental and emotional response that occurs when we reach or exceed our limits of tolerance for the things in our careers. This could include reaching our limits for workload, physical exhaustion, social and business interaction, our limits of organisation, disappointments and set backs. In the modern world career stress is fast becoming the biggest cause of ill health for many people. The effects of career stress on relationships include: Many people underestimate the effects of career stress on the sufferer and their relationships. As a persons career stress increases many or their important relationship skills can become effected. For example as stress goes up a persons tollerance for more stress goes down. Consquently they become short tempered and may even become aggressive. As well as tollerance declining a persons mental faculties become stretched so they become confused, forgettful and distracted. I isn't difficult to see how these things can impact negatively on their relationships. Tiredness and fatigue become a problem in career stress stripping away a persons desire to spend time with loved ones. When one or both partners are suffering from career stress their relationships will suffer in kind. There will be an increase in arguements, hurtful and defensive behaviours, fights and even domestic violence can be the outcome. Often one or both partners will become dissillusioned and start to withdraw from the relationship. Tiredness and fatigue will often mean that sexual intimacy declines and acts of love and kindness also deminish. What are the symptoms of career stress?
