This course will look at relaxation and provide tools and techniques to help you manage stress, improve well-being, and find calm. You will learn the methods and techniques in the sessions; we will discuss what they are, how they work, and why they are beneficial. You will then practice throughout the week. Each week, we will explore what has worked for you and what hasn’t, and you will be able to adapt them to develop a personalised relaxation plan.

Each session is themed around thoughts, emotions and behaviours.

• The story-telling mind, we focus on managing thoughts.
