About this Event
Delivered over two sessions the course will help students to understand what anxiety is and how it effects our physical and emotional wellbeing. We introduce strategies to calm both the anxiety response in the body & the mind, with a variety of techniques. It will provide students with different approaches to build skills & strategies to live a more meaningful life.
Session 1 on the 12 June covers what anxiety might look like for different people & common symptoms. We introduce the cycle of anxiety, exploring the physical impact & using some relaxation techniques.
Session 2 on the 19 June moves on to looking at common thinking styles, focusing on worry, again introducing helpful skills to work with our thoughts.
The overall aim for the course is to live a more meaningful life with anxiety, covering:
- Awareness of how anxiety manifests
- Understanding what keeps anxiety going
- How to spot our own cycle of anxiety
- Identifying obstacles & possibilities
- Providing ways to better manage the impact of our anxiety
