CBT Essential Courses: Stress Management
Did you know that stress can trigger comorbidity of other mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, dysthymia, panic, phobia, obsessive-compulsive and many more? In simple terms, stress can be a killer, and finding ways to eradicate it from modern lifestyles can feel like a constant uphill struggle. At Wellbeing Community Management Consultancy, we are realistic with our methods and advise clients that a certain level of stress is an aspect of life that we all need to learn to navigate by finding ways to reframe how we process it.
We each process stress differently and have varying ways of responding to stress triggers. During our Stress Management courses, we explore various CBT interventions and self-management techniques to minimize the prolonged harmful effects of stress. CBT can provide a fresh perspective, enabling individuals to regain control and reduce overwhelming physiological and emotional symptoms.
Course structures: From 2-hour sessions to 3-day intensive courses at regular intervals throughout the month.
CBT Essential Courses: Worry Management
Learning to decompartmentalize the daily worries of life and adopt effective strategies that help you manage stressful situations with more confidence can be achieved through cognitive restructuring or reframing. We all have a habit of ruminating on issues that worry us, but when this pattern becomes intrusive, it can cause a lack of one’s ability to function effectively and carry out daily tasks.
Finding relaxing and self-soothing methods will help you take control of an often-destructive thought pattern and create a sense of calm in challenging times.
At Wellbeing Community Management Consultancy, we present realistic techniques that can be carried out at any stage of the day, even on a busy commuter tube; from breathing exercises to journaling, there will be one that you naturally gravitate towards and feels right for you.
Course structures: From 2-hour sessions to 3-day intensive courses at regular intervals throughout the month.
CBT Essential Courses: Low Mood
The abstract concept of consistent happiness is compounded within contemporary society; you just have to look at social media as an example - smiling faces are everywhere. A manufactured state of euphoria is unrealistic, and sadly low moods are a normal part of the human condition. However, suppose low moods start to dominate your life and become more than an irregular occurrence. In that case, it's crucial to speak to a therapist or medical professional that can provide psychological and emotional support.
At Wellbeing Community Management Consultancy, we offer occupational referral services for employees that are struggling either at home or in the workplace. Individuals often don’t seek help for fear of being judged; however, each of our 1:1 sessions should be looked at as a haven where you can relax and talk in confidence without judgment. Not even your employer will know what we discuss, and we can tailor a course of sessions around your work schedule.
Course structures: From 2-hour sessions to 3-day intensive courses at regular intervals throughout the month.
CBT Essential Courses: Work/Life Balance
Finding a healthy work/life balance that works for the employer and employee does not need to be a challenge when each party is honest about the outcomes they want to achieve. Increased workloads and life commitments limit the amount of relaxation and free time at our disposal, which can lead to overwhelming feelings of underachievement and guilt – we want to change this.
Quantitative research by Dr. Helen Delaney of the University of Auckland Business School suggests that a 4-day work week can lead to happier and more committed employees, improving overall performance and individual mental health. At Wellbeing Community Management Consultancy, we work with companies to implement alternative working structures incorporating blended CBT interventions and timetables.
We take a humanistic approach to our work/life balance courses and advisory services to deliver a program that emphasizes the individual's worth within the workplace. Course structures: From 1-day sessions to 5-day intensive courses at regular intervals throughout the month.
CBT Essential Courses: Negative Thoughts
Neuroscientists have termed a human’s tendency to favour negative thoughts instead of positive as ‘negativity bias, which is an adaptative trait that served us well in hunter-gatherer days; however, how do we reframe this for the modern world?
Reoccurring negative thoughts can contribute to comorbidities such as low self-esteem, stress, depression, and anxiety, so understanding how you think is key to overcoming the challenges associated with emotion, often seemingly coming out of the blue.
At Wellbeing Community Management Consultancy, we explore how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are interlinked. One of the great challenges when dealing with negative thoughts is the cognitive distortions they bring and the cycle of negative thinking patterns, such as overgeneralization, polarised thinking, catastrophizing, and emotional reasoning. These patterns can bring with them feelings of personal blame and self-shaming.
At Wellbeing Community Management Consultancy, we teach coping mechanisms to unravel and challenge cognitive distortions through activities such as mindfulness and self-awareness journaling.
Course structures: From 2-hour sessions to 3-day intensive courses at regular intervals throughout the month.
