Session 1: What is Stress?

If you're attending an 'in person' Stress Control class and feeling nervous, you're not alone. To give you a sense of what to expect you can watch this video of Dr Jim White, the creator of Stress Control, delivering Session 1 in Clydebank, Glasgow, in 2020.

This was a fairly large class, but yours may be much smaller—either way, the format remains the same. The trainer will present the session, and you will not be asked to speak. There will be a break in the middle if you need to use the bathroom or grab a refreshment. Most importantly, everyone attending is in the same boat—looking for ways to manage stress.

Hopefully, this video helps you feel more at ease and makes it a little easier to take that first step.
