In this comprehensive course, we begin with an introduction to the origins of stress, its reasons for being there, its causes, and the symptoms stress creates in the mind, body, and emotions. From the physiological responses within our bodies to the cascading effects on our cognitive functions and emotional well-being, you'll get a new perspective on the stress response overall.
Knowing what tools work against specific types of stress can help you intentionally select the most effective approach to releasing the stress immediately. Throughout the following lessons, students will be introduced to categories of stressors, their origins, and the types of tools that work, and don’t work, for each category of stress. Students will learn and try simple and powerful tools, tailored to the unique experience behind each stressor, which effectively eliminates these specific experiences of stress. Through experiential practice and a comprehensive understanding of when and why to use each tool, students will fill their emotional toolbox with effective techniques for combatting the various stressors in their lives.
