Managing difficult emotions, particularly stress, worry, anxiety

This upbeat and engaging two-hour session is for those who wish to learn how to manage our emotions and feelings, rather than have them manage us.

What you'll learn

By the end of the session, you'll be able to describe:

• How to change how you feel - ‘rewire’ your brain - if you’re experiencing unpleasant feelings/emotional responses (e.g. fear and anxiety).
• What emotions are; how we construct them; what they can do for us, and to us, and how they’ve enabled us to survive and thrive.
• The stress response - physical, mental, emotional, behavioural - and typical symptoms.
• How and why we experience anxiety.
• Thinking our way into, and out of, trouble (with helpful thinking skills).
• How we can develop a ‘mindful’ attitude.
• Several practical stress management techniques and strategies.
• Your own personal action plan: how you’ll implement your learning.

Who the session is for? Why you should attend?

This interactive session is for anyone who wishes to learn more about:

• Why we respond with feelings of stress, worry and anxiety like we do.
• Why you personally respond like you do.
• Learning new ways of responding.
• Overcoming potential barriers to change.
• Short-term and longer-term techniques to prevent and deal with difficult emotions.
• Making more/the most of yourself and situations in your personal and professional life.

Please note that to maximise the opportunity for participation/engagement, delegate numbers are limited to 20.
