We all go through times of suffering with stress. Often we fall victim to stress and feel helpless. But there are ways to learn more about stress, understand it, and manage it so that we control the stress, rather than the stress controlling us.
All of our patients (and those belonging to our local surgeries) now have access to an online self help platform called Silver Cloud. Within the platform you will find a module to help with stress. You don’t even need a referral.
This programme is designed to help users manage and reduce their current symptoms of stress, while developing resilience against stressful experiences in the future. Using CBT techniques, individuals will learn to better understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and learn how to make positive changes relating to stress.
Skills and Strategies
Throughout the programme, individuals will be guided to reflect on and develop their own strengths and skills, while increasing their ability to cope with stressful situations. Within the programme, individuals will be introduced to a variety of mindfulness exercises encouraging them to focus on the present moment.
Participants will Focus on Creating and Finding Balance for a Less Stressful Life by:
Identifying their different life areas
Rating the stress and satisfaction they experience in each
Deciding on the importance of each area
Assessing how much of their time they spend in each
Reflecting on areas that could be contributing to their stress
Forging Ahead
Individuals will learn about creating goals for motivation, problem solving for dealing with stressful situations, and time management to determine the importance and urgency of tasks to overcome procrastination. They will also better understand the impact of exercise, diet, sleep and relationships on stress levels and techniques to assist in improving these areas.
