Details:
The TK MentalStrategies are about cognitive stress management and changing personal motives, attitudes and evaluations. To this end, the focus is on changing thoughts that increase stress, dealing with “inner drivers” and promoting positive self-instruction. By learning autogenic training and breathing exercises as relaxation techniques, the aim is to regulate physical and psychological stress reactions and reduce nervousness. Coping with exam anxiety is also a topic.
Participants deal with their individual stress factors and activate personal resources for coping with stress. They optimize their time and learning management for successful studies and are more relaxed in exam situations. The key skills they acquire for their studies and later professional life help them to maintain and strengthen their (mental) health and performance.
The aim is to deal competently with stress, to train individual ways of coping with stress, to improve self-awareness and to increase the ability to relax.
To this end, the seminar will explain the evolutionary origins of stress and its physiological consequences. Theoretical models and theories will be presented, applied to individual situations and reflected upon. Practical exercises for coping with stress as well as space for reflection and exchange are also included.
The course will be held in German this semester. English is planned for the summer semester.
There will also be an online workshop on the topic of mental health in English on December 11. More information will follow.
