SubjectSuppoRTT (Supported Return to Training)
DescriptionCourse Description: This course will help you understand how to recognise and process your emotions in healthy ways. In our everyday lives, we experience a range of emotions including difficult ones such as anxiety, frustration, apprehension, anger, fear, inadequacy, sadness, and overwhelm. Common reactions to difficult emotions can exacerbate stress and produce downward spirals. By being able to see these mechanisms clearly, you can prepare the ground for more nourishing alternatives. As emotions can be unsettling, it is important to learn how to find your centre and generate more relaxation in the body. You will discover how to mindfully meet emotions with compassion, to separate emotions from thinking and urges, and to become grounded in presence. We will also explore preventative approaches – ways to cultivate an ongoing sense of calm, including meditation principles and practice. This enables us to be less triggered or swept up in the automatic chain reactions stemming from challenging emotions. You will leave the course with a toolkit of techniques to apply when difficult emotions arise, so that you experience less reactivity and more equanimity. These shifts lead to a balanced perspective, help you to navigate life’s ups and downs, support your well-being, and enhance your effectiveness. The course provides a solid footing for return to training and contributes to wider and longer-term impacts, personally and professionally.
