Dealing with anxiety

All people have anxiety from time to time. Anxiety is a protective mechanism that helped us to survive in the Stone Age. I know that there are no more sabre-toothed tigers, but there are other dangers lurking in everyday life. So anxiety helps us to cope with challenges and protects us from danger. It becomes difficult when fear becomes a frequent presence. This course is about understanding anxiety better, recognising the context so that we can better accept our anxiety and work on alternative coping strategies.

Relax/ Refresh/ Recharge

Sometimes we forget to take care of ourselves, for example in stressful situations, when we have to handle a lot of things or  in the thesis phase. This course will focus on stress management, self-care and time management. The goal is to build your own toolbox for a better study-work-life-balance.
