Dealing with High Stress and Feeling Overwhelmed

24th November 2024

Experience the immediate shift of your stress and feeling overwhelmed and help others to do the same

Do you sometimes feel highly stressed?

Or maybe someone close to you frequently feels overwhelmed?

Do you work therapeutically with others who struggle with ongoing stress, overwhelm or are stuck in a reactive state?

Many people live today in a perpetually highly stressed or overwhelmed state. It seems that life is moving faster, and we have been flooded with so much information from multiple sources and constant demands to respond. We don’t have a grounded space, and we don’t know how to pause to receive and process that. Maybe you noticed that trying to distract yourself from something that feels intense, stressful and challenging is short-lived. Continuously trying to do that is tiring.

The solution is not in speeding up and learning how to do more things quickly. There are two things we can never do in the fast lane – we can neither deepen our experience nor integrate it. Without that we just keep accumulating, not even selecting, and storing. Instead of that, paradoxically, the answer is in re-learning how to pause, make space, process, and integrate our experience.

When we have a challenge or a problem, it doesn’t indicate that something is wrong but that it is a signpost to where we need to grow. The process that helps us to turn towards it and work with the challenge (rather than deny it or push it away) is the process that develops resilience and further growth and maturity.

This workshop is open to everyone who wants to learn effective ways of dealing with these problems. It will provide a better understanding of different types of stress, several practical ways of resolving them and developing emotion regulation and resilience. You will learn simple, immediately applicable processes backed up by contemporary neuroscience to achieve:

-       Immediate reduction of a high level of stress

-       Efficient dealing with a state of overwhelm, overstimulation and numbing

-       Facilitating a sense of self that is separate from the problems, which enables an instantaneous shift of the wholeexperience of problems

-       Incremental release of the bodily tension

-       Relief from insomnia

-       Increasing sense of regulation and wellbeing

-       Effective way of supporting others in your personal life and professional settings

Our growth, individual and collective, is indicated by our capacity to embrace complexity. The power of the helper is firstly in the power to embrace all that is there.
