Taking Stress Seriously
Taking back control before it controls me
Tuesday 4 June
9am - 12noon, Via Zoom
Have you ever asked yourself.....
What is stress – really?
Why can’t I shake it off?
Shouldn’t I just be able to harden up and get on with life?
Many of us know the theory, yet we keep feeling out of control. We have forgotten what calm, peace, joy, pleasure … feels like.
What if you could have a simple plan – a step by step process – that really works to take back control? To do a Reset on your stress response?
This half day workshop is a simple and effective evidence based approach to regulating your emotional state. Sharing tips and tools from a range of coaching and therapeutic modalities, that you can put in place immediately, we will cover:
Interoceptive awareness and how you can tell when you have gone off balance
The neuroscience behind stress and how you can work with it practically and pragmatically
An effective range of simple, practical tools you can use for yourself (or to assist others). For example:
The importance of how we frame stress – learning how to see and feel different perspectives
The power of language and how to use language to make changes that stick
How we can create habits of doing stress – and how to break them
Grounding and anchoring techniques to find safety and stability in any moment
Working with the heart and breathing to create a state of coherence and balance
Making choices around how you respond, so you can take back control
This will be a practical interactive session, including some group coaching and an opportunity in small groups, to share experiences and practice the tools, so that you can go away being confident to use them immediately to regulate your state and to actively reduce stress.
WARNING: This workshop, when the tools are applied in practice – could seriously impact on your health and wellbeing.

Learn a range of practical, evidence based tools to regulate your mood and emotional state, including the use of calming breath, grounding techniques, and a range of embodied tools – that you can put into immediate practice
Explore and change your use of language and its impact on stress in your body

Who Should Attend?
This workshop is designed for those who want to explore how to manage their own stress more effectively in a safe environment. Stress is a normal part of life and we, as humans, are very good at just managing and coping, but we often suppress the stress in doing so. We then get used to a level of stress being ‘normal’ an may even forget what calm feels like. This is a chance to reassess your own stress levels and make changes for your own health and wellbeing.
People who wish to support others in a day to day environment (managers, teachers, health carer professionals etc) and who would love to have a range of practical, easy to use tools in their tool box, to reach into when required.
NOTE - If your organisation is interested in having Suzanne present face-face to your team as a private workshop, please contact feona@grow.co.nz for more information.
