When a person lives for a long time in a state of mental tension, anxiety and stress,
sooner or later burnout occurs.
This condition is accompanied by physical and mental exhaustion, emotional
detachment (dissociation), and a feeling of loss of meaning.
That is why it is important to recognize long-term mental stress in time and be able to
relieve it.
What we work with during the lecture:
-
How to recognize prolonged mental stress in yourself.
-
How to relax against the backdrop of war and the events accompanying it.
-
How to work with stress and tension through the body.
-
How to relieve stress by focusing your attention.
-
How to act if you have already entered a state of burnout.
Chronic stress is a condition from which you cannot easily recover.
The psyche absorbed tension so much that it was imprinted on the
body and became a constant background of life.
A person lives as if tied into a knot. He no longer remembers what it
feels like to feel relaxed, light, alive. The option “just relax”, “just relax”
is not available to him.
Regardless of the causes of chronic stress, it can be effectively
addressed.
What we work with during the lecture:
-
Causes of chronic stress: traumatic triggers, prolonged
emotional stress, etc. -
How to overcome chronic stress with Short-Term Body Therapy
Many people feel that it is difficult for them to move forward: in relationships,
in careers, in life. Sometimes even moving to a new apartment becomes
stressful.
Few people realize that the reason is the difficulties that a person experienced during
childbirth. After a comfortable stay in the womb, the baby faces pressure and stress
during contractions. This experience can be so difficult that it is forever imprinted in
the body's memory.
And then in adulthood, any plus or minus significant obstacle causes inexplicable
anxiety, discomfort and prevents you from moving forward.
What we work with during the lecture:
-
Different levels of memory: explicit memory and emotional or physical
memories, divorced from context. -
How trauma during and before birth manifests itself in adulthood.
-
How to free yourself from the influence of this experience: exercises and
practice.
When you look at an abusive relationship from the outside, it seems
incomprehensible. “Why is she putting up with it? Why doesn’t she leave
him?”
There are several factors that make a person a potential victim and “switch off”
resistance to cruelty.
What we work with during the lecture:
-
Relationship with a narcissist. Why the victim is not aware of the manipulation and how it destroys her self-esteem and health.
-
Dissociation and stagnation: automatic emotional and physiological reactions of the victim during confrontation with the aggressor.
-
Why are people subjected to repeated insults and violence, and even after leaving one aggressor, they start relationships with a new one
-
What makes a person a potential victim of narcissists and manipulators.
The lecture contains simple exercises that will help your clients protect
themselves in difficult situations.
Boundary violations can be the result of physical abuse, an accident, or even a
medical procedure. One way or another, if physical and emotional boundaries
are damaged, this significantly affects a person's life, behavior and
relationships.
What we work with during the lecture:
-
How a person with healthy physical and emotional boundaries feels and
behaves. -
How to identify broken boundaries: let's look at real examples.
-
How to restore emotional boundaries: consider the example of codependency.
The lecture contains exercises that will help your clients quickly recover from such violations.
