Stress Management plus provide training at their offices in Reading in Resilience, Stress Management and Assertiveness Skills

Stress Management Training - The course programme includes: what stress is and where it comes from; the 4 response areas (physical; mental; emotional; behavioural); what the symptoms are and how to identify them; how thinking can affect feeling and behaviour; thinking errors and thinking skills; preventing and coping strategies.

The course provides practical stress management techniques to help prevent and deal with stress in our professional and personal lives. It introduces a working definition of stress, and differentiates between positive 'pressure' - or challenge - and the negative impact stress can have. It identifies the sources of stress, which can very often be determined by our perceptions. It looks at the four response areas and how we can respond in each area. It explores the relationship between thinking, feeling and behaving, and examines where some of our unhelpful thinking can come from. It provides practical strategies for preventing and dealing with stress, along with the opportunity to complete a personal stress plan.

Assertiveness Skills Training -The course programme for this practical, participative session covers: what we mean by assertiveness; the different behaviours associated with being assertive, aggressive and passive; why it is that we behave in these ways; the advantages and disadvantages of each behaviour; practicing the '3-step model' to assertiveness; dealing with 'difficult' people; practicing the '3-step model plus; some specific assertiveness skills.

The session looks at why we behave in assertive and non-assertive ways and some of the pitfalls and advantages of the different behaviours (assertive; aggressive; passive). It provides an opportunity to explore and practice some assertiveness techniques. It does not show how to change other people, rather it identifies what we can do for ourselves to express ourselves as we want to, when we want to. We also examine when and why it may not always be appropriate to assert oneself - what we're interested in is being able to be assertive when we choose to.
