Introduction to the Training Course

The training course teaches you how to better manage stress. It does not attempt to eliminate stress altogether as we need a certain amount of stress in our lives in order to achieve our goals. The training course presents the theory, skills and techniques of Stress Management Training in a logical and user-friendly way, teaching beginners in Stress Management to become skilled and competent trainers as rapidly as possible with no loss of quality.

The training course is both a training package in Stress Management, which can be used immediately as it stands, and an assessed training course. The training course is designed in such a way that trainees can speedily use it as a complete Stress Management Training package within their current work or in private practice.

The training course consists of eight sessions, each having as its core a CD containing both a lecture and a relaxation exercise. These eight lectures and exercises can be used directly with clients and the relaxation exercises can be copied for your clients' use at home. Your work is also guided by session plans; each session includes two session plans with step-by-step guides to working with individuals and with groups. We also present research notes with each session providing in-depth background information. There are treatment models for use with specific stress-related disorders, and in-depth presentations of related therapies of particular value in the treatment of stress. We also present eight case studies and include worksheets for training use, together with master copies of all stress management forms, logs, questionnaires and handouts for you to photocopy for your work with clients.  We provide a floppy disk containing all these forms, enabling you to edit the material to include your own details and logo when working with clients.
