Litigation can be an overwhelming and highly stressful experience, often leading to emotional exhaustion, anxiety, and feelings of uncertainty. While lawyers play an important role in guiding their clients through the legal process, there are several strategies that parties to the legal process can adopt to manage litigation stress and improve their mental well-being. Alan Heyes of Therapy Partners discusses how litigation stress can be better managed, ensuring better mental health, and improving engagement and co-operation throughout the court process.
What is Litigation Stress?
Litigation stress refers to the psychological and emotional strain experienced during legal disputes. Studies show that clients involved in litigation can face a range of stressors, includ- ing financial concerns, uncertainty about out - comes, and the adversarial nature of the legal process (Carbone & Cahn, 2021). Recognising these stressors early on can help clients take proactive steps to manage them.
