Stowe talks: Understanding and managing the depths of divorce stress

Divorce is one of the most stressful events you can go through. It takes a mental, emotional and often physical toll and you’ll often experience different effects at different points in your divorce or separation process.

For this Stowe talks, Ashley Le-Core will be joined by Helen Sampson, a certified transitions expert and award-winning stress-hacker, who founded ‘Uncouple’ with the mission to end the stress epidemic. Helen will be exploring stress in a way you’ve never heard before, reaching deep into the psychological and physiological effects of divorce-induced stress and how to manage it.

In the webinar, Helen will cover:

· What actually is stress?

· What does it look like within stages of the divorce journey?

· The impact of stress

· Top tips for stress-hacking divorce

For those that want to experience a physical stress-hack, Helen will be guiding us through a short but effective breathing exercise before the Q&A where she will be on hand to answer stress and transitions-related questions. Ashley will be available for any legal issues.
