Thank you for registering for the Calming the nervous system: Simple techniques to activate the rest and relax response Skills Group. You will receive an email from the OITE Well-Being center with more information as we approach the start date.
About this skills group:
Our brains and nervous systems receive many signals throughout the day. Some of these signals indicate danger or stress even when the threat isn’t real; however, our nervous system reacts as if we are in danger. These signals can come from our 24-hour news cycle, our own thoughts and feelings or sensory triggers. That is why it is important to develop a practice of simple techniques that calm the nervous system. Everyone is unique and will need to find the strategies that work for them. In this workshop, we will practice a variety of simple calming strategies to add to your daily routine to help manage stress and promote feelings of well-being.
