Скачать или смотреть Tackling polar bears: how to manage stress and anxiety for better mental resilience – Helen Tovey

Stress and anxiety are natural responses driven by the brain’s threat-detection system, particularly the amygdala, which triggers the release of adrenaline and cortisol to prepare us for action. When this system becomes overactive, it can keep the body in a heightened state, affecting mood, sleep and decision-making.

Modern living offers plenty of opportunities for our stress response to kick into gear. In this session, we will look at what happens in the brain and body when we perceive a threat, and how we can calm that response and regain control. You will leave with some simple, practical steps to build resilience for improved mental wellbeing both in and out of the workplace.
