SBC Stress Management

​

General Information:

Daily life can be stressful, but we all need a certain amount of stress to motivate us and keep an interest in life.  The problem starts when good stress (eustress) changes to bad stress (distress) and we start experiencing physical symptoms such as:

​

​

  • Palpitations

  • Dizziness

  • Breathlessness

  • Fainting

  • Insomnia

  • Fatigue

  • Chest Pains

  • Tingling

  • Muscle Pain/Cramps

  • Blurred Vision

  • Cold Hands/Feet

​

​

​

This list is not exhaustive as there are numerous other symptoms.  The reason we feel these physical symptoms dates back to ancient times when man lived in caves and was constantly on guard to fight off dangerous animals; this is part of our heritage and the response to danger (or what we think is a danger to our job, our good name, our finances etc.) remains with us and is called ‘fight or flight’.  This is where our body is geared up to defend ourselves or run for our lives; unfortunately if we have to work with difficult people , or bring up kids that misbehave, we cannot run away or fight.  However, the physical, emotional and behavioural sensations remain in our body and mind.  This builds up leading to stress on an emotional level such as anxiety, depression or anger, and even feelings of isolation etc.  These can be experienced in addition to the physical symptoms as outlined above.

If you are constantly under pressure with work and family,  juggling to do it all, or overloaded at work with an ever-increasing in tray, Stress Management can help.

What is Stress Management?

​

Stress Management is a way of life, and the Stress Management offered here is a course of eight consecutive sessions which involve:

 

  • Finding out what level of stress you experience as an individual

  • Determining how high your levels of stress are

  • Understanding what stress is and what it does to your body

  • Learning how to relax and de-stress your body

  • Practising relaxation techniques on a daily basis at home and at work

  • Discover how stress can affect your moods and emotions

  • Having an awareness of negative thoughts and self-talk and how these can affect your actions

 

Where can Stress Management Sessions be Held?

Sessions can be carried out on an individual basis on skype, so that you do not have to leave your home or office to start controlling your levels of stress and gaining control of your life, OR can be carried out in a group in Rawtenstall, Lancashire.  (These group sessions in Rawtenstall will have about  eight people), and can be carried out Monday to Fridays during the day or evening, and at weekend, to fit in with the working week.  A lunch will be available and sessions can be fortnightly or 3 weekly to spread the cost.

Group sessions can also be held in your workplace.

​

​

The cost of each Stress Management will be £50 whether it be on an individual basis, or in a group session in Rawtenstall. It will take approximately one hour for individual sessions and two hours for group sessions.  For sessions held in the workplace, the cost will be agreed at the outset.
