ABC of Managing Anxiety

Anxiety is the body’s way of responding to being in danger. It works so well that it often kicks in when it’s not needed – when the danger is in our mind rather than reality.
This webinar aims to help you take back control by understanding the nature of anxiety and developing strategies to manage it.

Managing Anxiety with Compassion
12pm to 1pm – 20th November 2024 – Book a Place
In this webinar we identify three different emotion regulation systems in the brain: the threat system, the drive system, and the soothing system. If we constantly feel anxious it may be that our three systems are out of balance, which can make it difficult to feel safe and relaxed.
During this session we will explore compassionate ways to further develop our soothing system, promoting a greater sense of calmness and safety.
