This tool has been designed to help you better understand your reactions to stepfamily-stress triggers.

When you can pinpoint your own specific triggers, then you can identify their corresponding distress symptoms, and importantly, create a plan to cope in ways that are more effective for you.

If you'd prefer to have a Certified Stepfamily Coach in your corner while you dig into the triggering aspects of your stepfamily, tap here to book a complementary, casual 30-minute consult with a member of our team, and find out the ways we can support that.

There are dozens of research-backed reasons that emphasize the importance of reducing stress, which include lowering your risks for things like burnout, depression, and anxiety [1].

Why is it important to you, personally, to learn to cope more effectively with stress and its symptoms? Will you become a better partner, or a more patient parent? Will you get back to being yourself, and start doing the things you used to love to do? Whatever your reasons, this at-a-glance Stress Profile can help you pave the way.
