​

Duration and Structure:

The training has a duration of two hours and its content is structured in two sections.
The first section aims to provide a deeper understanding of how exactly stress affects our body and psyche. It also addresses the variables that trigger our mind and body into a “freeze, fight or flight" stress reaction and its long-term impact. Among the effects at the physiological level are cardiovascular problems and vulnerability to multiple diseases; on the other hand, the consequences of stress at the psychological level are: anxiety, depression, burn out, among others.

​

The second section seeks to offer practical and easy-to-implement techniques, scientifically proven and endorsed by Harvard, to help generate the so-called "Relaxation Response". This allows teaching people to cope with stress and burn out, allowing them to combat the physiological and psychological effects mentioned above. It also aims at providing psychological strategies to promote resilience, improve mental health and increase the quality of life of armed forces personnel and veterans.

​

Overview:

This training aims to provide participants with the theoretical and practical tools to cope with the stress and burn out associated with military work or combat sequels. To this, it must be added that the world has changed completely since the pandemic, bringing with it many problems, among them, the exponential increase of people reporting feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed and depressed, among other symptoms.

​

As a result, I decided to specialize on the subject so I completed a series of courses on the subject, including Harvard Medical School's Stress Management and Positive Psychology courses as well as specific studies for working with Members of the Armed Forces and Veterans of War from the APA (American Psychological Association). These qualifications provided me, on the one hand, with the necessary information about what stress and burn out are, how they affect both our bodies and minds and, on the other hand, they provided me with specific and scientifically proven techniques to counteract the effects of these ailments and promote resilience. The implementation of the techniques proposed in this training will result in a clear improvement in the mental health and quality of life of armed forces personnel and veterans.
