Partidge moved to Crediton last July and started at the hospital in the middle of January. It is the first time for such a service at the hospital, according to CEO Deb Hunt. A registered psychologist for 25 years, Partridge said she is looking forward to practicing in Exeter, as well as in London where she also maintains an office. Partridge works with adults suffering from stess related physical and emotional problems such as panic attacks, anxiety and depression. Along with her practice, Partridge runs workshops on relaxation and stress managment in London and will start one locally if there is interest. She said signs of stress include insomnia, irratibility, poor concentration, muscle tension and teeth grinding which can lead to more serious illnesses since stress weakens the immune system. Depression is also common from stress and can result from anything that requires change and can accumulate over a period of years from events such as graduating from school, new jobs and getting married. To escape stress, Partridge said people turn to alco- hol, gambling and drugs and can become either with- in South Huron drawn or dependent which can damage relationships. "Life loses its joy," said Partridge. Her techniques for treating the illness "is a very practical approach," teaching skills for coping with not much childhood analysis. Partridge said our culture has the expectations we should be working all the time at the expense of quali- ty of time. "A lot starts with stress, and things develop...it sets you up for more serious things." Much of the treatment for stress related illness is people learning to give themselves permission to relax, said Partridge. Learning how to breathe properly, which Partridge said 70 per cent of people don't know how to do is another technique for reducing stress. And one of the simplest methods of stress reduction is to cut out caffeine for a month. Two cups a day is the maximum amount of coffee anyone should have, said Partridge. She also described Red Bull as "vicious stuff...it's like shooting up with stress hormones. "Contemporary life is getting faster...employer demands are more outrageous," said Partridge who added shift work causes more stress especially if the hours are always changing. Partridge said she became a psychologist out of a desire to be in touch with people and from an impulse to help.
