Managing Your Moods: beginning 8 February
05 Feb 2010
A practical course for University staff run by the Counselling Service
This popular course offered by the University Counselling Service runs each term. The course will start on Monday 8 February from 1pm until 2pm and is in the Wellbeing Room, Dover Street Building.
The aims of the course are:
- To learn new skills, tools and techniques so that we can handle our moods and our emotions;
- To gain insight into the ways in which we see ourselves and others.
How we see things is for us, how things are, and how we go about our lives seems ‘obvious and right’. Sometimes, however, our familiar way of understanding and acting can be the source of our problems. In order to solve our difficulties we may need to learn to recognise how what we do makes thing worse. We can then work out new ways of thinking and acting.
The course will teach ways of developing the skill of being aware of our experiences (good and bad) from moment to moment, so that we can make the best choices for ourselves.
Overall, the course is often helpful for dealing with an ongoing difficulty – the problem may not change but the way we relate to it can.
What are the difficult moods?
We will be focussing mainly on:
- Anxiety
- Low mood
- Feeling irritable and on edge
- Feeling overwhelmed, pressurised
It is important to attend all the sessions if possible.
