Overview
This course will allow you to engage with other people affected by MS, and together we will explore how we might deal with stress and anxiety while living with MS. We will look at the differences between stress and anxiety, learn how to recognise them, and discuss tools we can use for helping manage stress and anxiety.
It is an interactive course, designed to complement the discussions you will have while participating. There will be a handbook to accompany the course.
We will explore the following themes:
- Stress and anxiety, and how they affect us
- Stress, anxiety, and MS - understanding how stress and anxiety affect MS and how MS affects stress and anxiety
- Getting to know my stress and anxiety. What triggers it, how it shows up, and how it makes me feel?
- Working with stress and anxiety - building a tool kit to help me manage my stress and anxiety
We expect this to be a popular course, and we have very limited capacity because we want to keep the numbers to a size that will facilitate maximum benefit to the participants. Please, therefore, only book if you are confident that you can attend, and if you discover later that you are unable to attend, please cancel your place straightaway to give someone else an opportunity to attend.
