Lesson 1: Unpacking Stress

In this lesson, we'll discover that stress is a symptom of a fearful response to an event or a thought, which triggers physical, emotional, and mental responses. We will trace the origin of the stress response, in order to understand its purpose, and what happens when the stress response gets stuck "on" instead of resolving on its own.

Lesson 2: The Physical, Emotional, and Mental Impacts of Stress

In this lesson, we'll discuss the ways in which stress affects our body's systems, our emotions, and refocuses our mental processes for the sake of survival.

Lesson 3: The Power of Attention and Choice Over Stress

In this lesson, you'll be introduced to the concept that just as the stress response engages your attention, so can you deliberately control where your attention goes. Understanding that you have the power to focus your attention on tools that will disengage the stress response means that you can choose which tools will be the most effective on the stress that you are experiencing. A brief example of each is included, with future courses in this series dedicated to specific tools for reversing the stress response to a variety of experiences.

Lesson 1: Releasing Unwanted Stress that We Believe is Important

In this lesson, we will discuss the stress that feels important, such as the stress of suspense - when we are waiting for test results, or a job offer, for example. Our minds believe that this is a valid reason for stress, though we don't want to feel the stress. It doesn't help us while we are waiting, right? You'll learn a physical-oriented tool that will relax the body, and then the mind and emotions will respond with relaxation, releasing the stress.

Lesson 2: Releasing Stress from Mental Replay

In this lesson, we will address the stress that comes from repeating a stressful memory over and over in the mind. When something stressful happens, it's natural to replay it like a short movie, and re-experience the stress each time. The tool in this lesson will help you use a physical-centered tool to bring a soothing sensation to the body, and then the feeling of being soothed comes into your emotions, and your mind can release the replay process along with the stress over the situation.

Lesson 3: Releasing the Stress of Not Knowing

In this lesson, we’re going to talk about the stress of not knowing what to do. This is when a decision needs to be made about something, and we feel a sense of panic because we are unclear on what the right decision should be. This is a very mental kind of stress. This stress responds well to physical techniques because they help change the stress-state directly, bypassing the mind and emotions, and then affecting them as the body relaxes.

Lesson 3: The Stress of Feeling Not Good Enough

In this lesson, we'll address an all-too-common stressor, the underlying fear of not being good enough.

Lesson 2: The Stress from Discouragement or Feeling Negative

In this lesson, we'll explore the stress that's connected to feeling negative or discouraged. Sometimes we get "in a funk."

You'll learn a tool for shifting your emotion from this state, to a new, more optimistic viewpoint.

Lesson 3: The Stress from Feeling Out of Control

This lesson will address the stress that happens when we feel like life is spinning out of control. When a lot of things are happening, and we feel like we're on an emotional rollercoaster.
