This session will take place in Wellbeing Rooms, 1.63 Large Group Room, Simon Building.

Second of a two-part workshop.

Overcoming Worry Part 2

This is the second session of a two-part CBT informed psychoeducational workshop focusing on strategies to help manage the impact of worry. It is likely to be suitable for you if you relate to some or most of the following:

• Feeling nervous, anxious, on edge

• Unable to stop or control worrying

• Worrying too much about different thing

• Difficulty concentrating / mind going blank

• Easily annoyed / irritable

• Trouble relaxing and / or muscle tension

• Sleep disturbance

• Easily tired and fatigued

Part 2 of understanding low self-esteem will build on the learning from the part 1, with more of a focus on learning strategies designed to help you break out of cycles of thoughts, feelings and behaviour which can fuel your experience of worry. These strategies are ones that you can incorporate into your day to day lives and which can support you to overcome worry.

We will be using a range of mediums throughout the workshop, including power point, small group exercises and some larger group feedback. You will develop your own personal understanding of how your worry operates and what processes maintain it. You will be invited to engage in a range of evidence-based CBT exercises and strategies, designed to help you worry less over time. Although you will benefit from attending parts 1 & 2 of the workshop, it is not mandatory.
