SUMMARY:Managing Self Doubt (Part 1 In Person )
DESCRIPTION:This 2 part course is for anyone keen to learn more about self-doubt and how to live with it better. Self doubt feeds anxiety in a continuous cycle and can have a huge impact on our mental health and wellbeing. Together we explore what it is\, the impacts it can have\, and some things we can do to manage it. There is a practical emphasis and we hope that students will leave feeling more able to manage their own self-doubt\, and/or to better support others who experience it.

SUMMARY:Writing for Self Expression (Part 2)
DESCRIPTION:On this course we will listen to and talk about some poems and pieces of prose\, before trying out some expressive writing of our own. Expressive writing is not creative writing or therapy\, but a form of self-expression which helps a person to think about their life and put their thoughts and feelings into words with often surprising results. It is personal\, freestyle writing that is not constrained by concerns about the ‘end result’ but  fosters personal awareness\, resilience and wellbeing.

SUMMARY:Understanding Trauma (Part 1)
DESCRIPTION:Experiencing trauma can significantly impact our mental health\, the way we function as human beings and our resilience to coping with stressful life events. This course looks at the impact of trauma on our brain and bodies and explores how we can learn to ground ourselves in the present and regulate our emotions. We look at trauma diagnoses in Week 2 and life after trauma in Week 3. On this course we share tips and strategies\, but not details of what has happened to us.

SUMMARY:Self Compassion Skills (Part 1)
DESCRIPTION:Compassion for ourselves and others can be hard to maintain when faced with hardship and mental health difficulties. In this small- group course\, we will explore what compassion means\, what can get in the way\, and why compassion can help us. We will also develop practical skills such as grounding\, breathing exercises\, and compassionate voice and imagery. A therapy dog will be present in some sessions to support selected activities and discussions (but without becoming the primary focus of the work). \n\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE: This is a newly developed course in collaboration with the University of Oxford\, and has a RESEARCH COMPONENT consisting of questionnaires at the start and end of each session. The first questionnaire is longer and will take about 15-20 minutes to complete\, subsequent questionnaires will be shorter and take no more than 5-10 minutes. The research explores whether the course is effective and whether the presence of a THERAPY DOG might impact this. The therapy dog will be randomly allocated to attend either the first three sessions for one group or only the last (fourth) session for the other group. Anyone who signs up to the course will be invited to take part in the research\, and you will receive a full information sheet when signing up. You can still participate in the course if you decide you do not want to take part in the research (i.e. complete the questionnaires).
