Context

Stress happens at all times. This isn’t a problem per se: a certain amount of stress can be good in order to accomplish something. Stress becomes a problem when we have the feeling that the situation becomes uncontrollable, when it becomes difficult to step out of it. The most important thing is to find ways to regain a balance and thus control your stress. It is therefore necessary to work with stress in a physical, cognitive and behavioural way.

Main course objectives

  • Provides insight into stress and how stress influences you
  • Offers useful methods that help you to improve coping with stress
  • Boosts your confidence and your feeling of control






Main course benefits

  • The course is very interactive, with different exercises and group discussions
  • In preparation for the 3-day training course, you will be asked to fill in an intake form to find out more about your level of stress and your stressors. That way, the trainer can adapt parts of the training to the individual needs of the participants
  • At the end of each training day, the participants will have developed a personal plan of action. One month after the course, an individual outtake session with the trainer will offer the trainee the possibility of looking back on the skills he has learnt, and which actions he has implemented in his daily lifestyle.
