| The most effective stress management systems are based on personal awareness, self-relaxation, and coping skills. Dreyfuss Enterprises offers you personalized training content based on the following models.
Personal Awareness Training
We all can benefit by recognizing our automatic reactions to events we habitually perceive as stressful.
Personal Awareness Training includes:
- Body Scan Inventory
- Stress Awareness Diary
- Stressful Event Hierarchy
- Basic Self-Relaxation Training
Self-Relaxation Training
The art of self-control is often considered to be the highest attainment of leaders throughout the ages. This training leads to internal self-control, helping to reduce the muscle tension and anxiety provoked by perceptions and thoughts. By consciously eliciting the physiological relaxation response, one can avoid the confusion and fatigue which often accompany potentially stressful situations.
Self-Relaxation Training includes:
- Progressive Relaxation
- Diaphragmatic Breathing
- Power Stretching ("Yoga In The Chair" for cubicle dwellers)
- Mini-Vacation Visualization
Coping Skills Training
Coping skills reduce general anxiety as well as interview, speech, and test anxiety. This training is especially useful for those seeking increased mental self-control in anxiety provoking situations.
The Coping Skills Training includes holistic preparation for distressing events. Participants learn to relax in imagined scenes and are thereafter prepared to recognize and release tension in challenging situations. Stress-coping thoughts can replace habitual negative thoughts, allowing greater confidence when confronting problem situations such as angry clients and frustrating deadlines. With practice and understanding, coping skills become automatic in stressful situations. Coping Skills Training includes:
- Learning to Relax Efficiently
- Making a Stressful Events Hierarchy
- Stress-Coping Thoughts
- Applying Relaxation Techniques (Stretching, Breathing, Meditation)
- Visualization: Willful, Receptive, and Guided
Yoga Basic Training
Yoga Basics combines a simple and powerful series of ancient yoga stretches, breathing exercises, and meditation techniques that can transform physical and mental patterns. Participants experience deep relaxation and increased clarity.
Participants are encouraged to wear loose clothing to this active workshop so they can feel the immediate benefits of self-awareness and conscious movement. All shapes and sizes of bodies are warmly welcomed.
Yoga Basics Training includes:
- Hatha Yoga Instruction from a Certified Yoga Teacher
- Yogic Breathing ("Pranayam") Instruction
