Stress Management with Self-Hypnosis

Stress Management with Self-Hypnosis

Tuesdays,
June 19th & 26th
6:30 PM – 8:30 PM

Stress makes us frustrated, ineffective, unhappy and it can even cause injury. Learn how to improve the ways you currently cope with stress by utilizing self-hypnosis and various natural techniques, such as relaxation, breathing, affirming and visualizing. Participants will also explore techniques that utilize self-hypnosis as effective reinforcement, such as relaxation, reflection, meditation and quieting.

This is a two-part workshop. The first week attendees will learn stress management skills, and the following week they will return to discuss if they used them and how they worked.

Registration is required or call 1-877-LGH-WELL (1-877-544-9355) or visit www.lowellgeneral.org/health.

Developmental relationships are close connections through which young people discover who they are, cultivate abilities to shape their own lives, and learn how to engage with and contribute to the world around them. Search Institute has identified five elements—expressed in 20 specific actions—that make relationships powerful in young people’s lives.
