Stress Management Workshops
Understanding, Managing, and Eliminating Day-to-Day Stress
Do you want to get rid of daily stress but do not have the opportunity to attend in-person coaching sessions? Based on the same techniques I use in Stress Coaching, we will work together to help you understand, manage and eliminate day-to-day stress factors, and help to prevent stress from returning in the future. Check out our classes and workshops.
Why attend a Stress Management Workshop?
Everyone is subject to stress at various point in time triggered both in our professional or personal lives. Every day approximately 430,000 Danes have symptoms of severe stress and 35,000 are on stress leave.
​
Stress is a completely natural reaction to perceived "challenges" or even "dangers" in life. It happens when we feel threatened - by a lion or in today's modern society - when internal or external demands exceed our own resources. Stress happens unconsciously and helps us to either fight or escape - the classic "flight or fight" reaction.
It is a biological mechanism that triggers stress hormones to encourage quick action. Adrenalin and Cortisol surge in our body. Fat and sugar content in the blood increase, breathing intensifies, pulse and blood pressure rise​, the ​immune system is strengthened and our mind "switch to autopilot" reducing access to the intellect and reason, in favor of immediate instinctual responses.
​
Stress is natural and positive in the short run, it helps us move quickly or perform-well in a given situation. However, when stress is prolonged and our body does not have time to recover, stress can become highly counterproductive and have serious consequences for our emotional and physical health. Our body and mind become overloaded and we start experiencing physical, cognitive and behavioral stress symptoms.

In many respects, stress is completely normal and inevitable in modern lives. However, if you have longer term feelings of stress - such as the feeling of being overwhelmed and under significant pressure for prolonged periods, then it is important to seek help.
Stress warning signals only get worse and the consequences more serious and long lasting if you do nothing to prevent and manage your stress.
​
The aim of this workshop is to help you understand, reduce, manage and prevent stress in your daily life before you have to report sick or experience a stress collapse.

"Participating in this workshop was the best thing I have ever done for myself. It has given me good tools to deal with my stress and taught me how to prevent it. Today I am much better at setting boundaries for myself, prioritizing when I have too much to do and making sure I have some me-time. Thanks to this workshop, I rarely feel stressed anymore. Many thanks Justine. "
