Finding Calm: Managing Stress and Difficult Emotions
The Mind Body Well Collective series provides educational and therapeutic programs at NO COST to existing clients of our service, and LOW COST for the wider community.
The ‘Finding Calm’ program focuses on skills and strategies to understand and manage stress and challenging emotions.
Program outline
SESSION 1 – will focus on the way our mind and body respond to stress, and how our nervous system works to protect us from situations we perceive as threatening.
SESSION 2 – explores personal stress responses, and the way these patterns are learned and developed over time (and can therefore be unlearned / changed).
SESSION 3 – focuses on practical strategies to manage stress and enhance emotional coping, including distress tolerance and breathing practices which can help us find calm.
Facilitator
Genevieve (Gen) Fletcher – Provisional Psychologist at Mind Body Well.
Gen is a warm and confident presenter, who has experience providing individual therapy and running educational programs in mental health settings.
Gen is also as a University Lecturer in Psychology with experience communicating about mental health concepts.
