Description:
A car cuts you off. Your boss gives you an emergency assignment late Friday afternoon. You find out your loved one may need surgery. Your teenager says something very hurtful to you. The temptation in each of these situations is to respond without thinking, letting your emotions take control. But that’s often the worst thing to do. You need to drive safely, negotiate with your boss for a reasonable deadline or help, ask the physician about other options, and let your teenager know you’re hurt without hurting him or her in return.
This workshop will help participants to understand the nature of stress, recognize both common and unique responses to stressful situations, and learn techniques for handling both their short- and long-term negative responses to stress.
