Courses run by NHS Highland’s Guided Self Help Workers teach you about stress and ways to tackle it. Audrey O’Brien is a Guided Self Help Worker based in Caithness, she said: “Stress can affect anyone for a number of different reasons, if you are feeling panicked, stressed or worried believe me you are not alone. We run a six session course for anyone over the age of 16 who feels stressed and who wants to know more about this and to learn ways to deal with it.”
The six sessions focus on learning about stress, controlling your body, controlling your thoughts, controlling your actions, controlling panic and controlling sleep problems and the future.
Ms O’Brien added: “This is not group therapy; it’s about education and how to help yourself. We look at why stress affects people in different ways, how to use relaxation and how exercise can help. The course is free and you can even bring a long a friend or family member if that would make you feel more comfortable.”
