Stressful situations are a fact of life. Everyone is faced with stress, but not everyone has discovered the best ways to cope with it. There are choices you can make that will change the way you think, feel and behave in high pressure situations. In this program, you will take a look at how you are presently dealing with pressure, and determine what is and what is not working. You will develop an understanding of how your thoughts and beliefs, including your self-esteem, affect your responses to adversity. You’ll learn strategies that will help you cope more effectively every day.
