Coping refers to efforts to manage stress and demands of everyday life through behaviors like problem-focused strategies, emotion-focused strategies, and mindfulness. Maladaptive coping includes giving up, blaming oneself, aggression, and indulgence through substances or addictive behaviors. Internet addiction is characterized by preoccupation, tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, and negative consequences. It is increasingly recognized as a real addiction, with signs like anxiety when offline and excessive use interfering with responsibilities. Effective coping strategies include problem-solving, social support, exercise, meditation, and altering irrational thinking patterns.
The science of stress and resilience handoutPeter Gowers
This document summarizes key concepts from the science of stress and resilience. It discusses how the traditional view of stress as something purely negative is an oversimplification, and explores alternative stress responses like the challenge response and tend-and-befriend response. It also covers how mindset interventions can help shift one's stress response, the importance of finding meaning and aligning with values, and how turning anxiety into excitement can improve outcomes. Additionally, it discusses resilience and post-traumatic growth, explaining how people can strengthen their resilience and often grow in positive ways from difficult experiences and trauma.
The science of stress and resilience recordedPeter Gowers
This document discusses stress, resilience, and mindfulness. It begins with an introduction to Peter Gowers, the presenter, and then covers several key topics:
- The different responses to stress and how mindset can influence whether stress is seen as a threat or challenge.
- Tools for managing stress like mindfulness, finding meaning, values exercises, and cultivating post-traumatic growth.
- An overview of mindfulness including its benefits, how to get started with practices like meditation, and tips for incorporating it more into daily life.
- The concept of resilience and how developing resilience can help people better handle stressors and even grow from difficult experiences.
This document summarizes a presentation on mental health conditions among college students. It discusses the prevalence of anxiety disorders in college populations and some of the specific disorders like generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder. It provides information on cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure therapy techniques used to treat anxiety disorders. It also discusses generalized anxiety disorder and its overlap with symptoms of depression.
The document outlines an ACT workshop for working with physical health problems. It discusses using ACT processes to help clients with issues like uncertainty, changes in identity, and avoiding difficult sensations. Specific techniques are explored like defusion, flexible perspective of self, and focusing on values-driven actions. The workshop also addresses challenges like treatment decisions, hopelessness, and caregiving burdens through an ACT lens.
Positive psychology focuses on optimal human functioning and thriving. Martin Seligman founded the field to study happiness and normal lives, not just mental illness. Two approaches to happiness are savoring, consciously attending to pleasure, and flow, fully immersing in an activity. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi extensively researched flow and defined its characteristics. Work can induce flow more than leisure, paradoxically. Savoring involves mindfully appreciating positive experiences through sharing, memory building, and other techniques to enhance well-being.
The document discusses stress coping skills and provides strategies for managing stress. It outlines a three step coping process of being aware of one's thoughts and feelings, taking responsibility for them, and then acting in an appropriate manner. The top three coping methods discussed are proactive coping such as planning ahead, meaning making like reframing stressful events positively, and religious coping which can provide comfort during uncontrollable stressors. Managing stress requires gathering information, developing skills, having clear goals and plans, practicing coping techniques, and utilizing social support.
123. Healthy lifestyle actions to reduce and manage stressLAKSHMANAN S
Modern lifestyles are highly stressful due to increased competitiveness. Stress can negatively impact physical and mental health. To reduce stress, it is important to make lifestyle changes like eating healthy, exercising regularly, and getting quality sleep. Healthy habits should be maintained consistently over time through establishing routines. Managing time effectively and maintaining a positive mindset can also help reduce stress. Lifestyle changes like prioritizing self-care, breaking large tasks into smaller steps, and avoiding comparisons to others can promote better stress management.

It discusses sources on dialectical behavior therapy and provides quotes on examining one's inner life and freeing oneself from unhelpful structures. It then covers mindfulness, crisis survival strategies like distraction, and activities from a balanced heart journal. The homework asks participants to discuss balancing the heart, create a distraction plan, and note any new skills used between classes.
This document summarizes key concepts from positive psychology, including resilience, flourishing, and their relationship. It discusses how resilience involves bouncing back from adversity through factors like strong values, social support, and optimism. Resilience can be taught through training programs.

These dimensions are independently measurable and contribute to well-being. Flourishing involves living according to one's signature strengths and finding flow in challenging activities.
Josue Guadarrama, MA Presentation at 2016 Science of HOPE
Description
Developed within a coherent theoretical and philosophical framework, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a unique, empirically based psychological intervention that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies, together with value driven commitment and behavior change strategies, to increase psychological flexibility. ACT uses three broad categories of techniques: mindfulness, including being present in the moment and defusion techniques; acceptance; and commitment to values-based living. Participants in this seminar will learn mindfulness as a way of observing ones experience, in the present moment, without judgment and “defuse,” or distancing oneself from unhelpful thoughts, reactions and sensations. Aside from a didactic approach, there will be video examples, and skill practice. Audience participation is highly encouraged.

The document discusses burnout among college teachers. It defines burnout as a state of physical and emotional exhaustion brought on by prolonged stress. It notes that 25-60% of physicians experience burnout. Burnout is caused by work-related stressors like unclear job requirements, impossible workloads, lack of recognition, and poor leadership as well as lifestyle and psychological factors. Symptoms include depleted energy, emotional exhaustion, poorer health, and pessimism. The document recommends assessing sources of stress and making lifestyle changes to manage burnout.
Stress can lead to overeating through hormonal and physiological pathways. In the short term, stress hormones like corticotropin-releasing hormone suppress appetite, but the hormone cortisol increases appetite if stress persists. High cortisol levels combined with high insulin levels may cause people to overeat high fat, high sugar "comfort foods" that reduce stress in the brain. Long term stress is associated with weight gain through changes in eating, sleep, and exercise behaviors. Managing stress through meditation, exercise, social support, therapy and relaxing activities can help prevent overeating and better cope with stress.
Each month I present to the City of Cape Town offices. The topic is Stress & Burnout. Most of us struggle with this on some level during our lives and this presentation calls it for what it is, as well as giving ways to reduce the impact of stress. www.time2beme.co.za.
Most approaches to mindfulness are geared toward the individual level and not the social or community level to which traditional mindfulness methods were targeted. It is not only about our own personal growth but the enlightenment of the community as a whole. We are never separate. And this insight is fundamental for any effective wellbeing effort (workplace or otherwise). This experiential webinar will feature a cursory overview of mindfulness (definition, measurement, practices) and participants will be invited to complete introspective surveys about their own mindfulness to help ground the social conversation for the webinar. We will then contemplate seven different ways in which wellness champions can show up in a mindful way within the social context (community or sangha) of their work setting. These are listed below. Participants will be invited to self-assess their capacity for each and given tools to continue developing each.
· The Values Clarifier (Your Cause, Calling, or Legacy)
· The Intentional Centerer (Breathe…Breathe…Breathe)
· The Heedful Relater (Loving Kindness)
· The Compassionate Nudger (Mindfully Encourage)
· The Knower of Impact (Integrity, Foresight, and Social Contagion)
· The Thriver (All Stress is Grist for the Mill)
· The Garnerer of Trust (We are One)

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is based on several key principles: 1) thoughts influence emotions and behaviour, 2) behaviour also influences thoughts and emotions, 3) mental health problems are exaggerations of normal cognitive and behavioural processes. CBT focuses on identifying and modifying dysfunctional thoughts and behaviours in the present. Techniques include cognitive restructuring like identifying cognitive distortions, behavioural experiments, and modifying core beliefs through empirical testing. Physical techniques like relaxation can also be used.

This document outlines concepts from a book on personal excellence by Dr. Ghulam Dastgeer. It discusses the responsibilities of the teacher to provide value for students' time and money, and of students to fully engage and take good notes. It presents a revised formula for success as "be, do, have" rather than focusing on material goods. Problems and challenges are portrayed as normal parts of life that can be overcome with more skills. The philosophy of being responsible rather than a victim is promoted. Expanding one's comfort zone is presented as key to raising performance levels.

Stress is characterized as the rate of "wear and tear" on the body from living. The document then discusses the physiological effects of stress on the body and brain and identifies common stress symptoms. It introduces mindfulness as an approach to managing stress through paying attention to the present moment non-judgmentally. The rest of the document provides an overview of mindfulness techniques, strategies for incorporating mindfulness into daily life and work, benefits of mindfulness, and mindfulness practices for noticing thoughts and feelings.
This document summarizes an interview between Eona John and Kelly Lennon-Martucci, the Director of School Based Mental Health Clinics for Henry Street Settlement, about stress.
Lennon-Martucci defines stress as a reaction to an event or recurring situation that causes physiological responses in the body. She notes there are two types of stress - helpful stress which improves performance, and unhelpful stress which depletes the body over time.
When asked about managing stress, Lennon-Martucci recommends finding a physical release through activities like yoga, exercise, or art. She also emphasizes changing negative thought patterns to be more positive. Relieving stress is important for physical and mental health

Wednesday, April 23rd (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)schofieldteacher
This document provides information about obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It defines OCD as having obsessions (unreasonable thoughts and fears) and compulsions (repetitive behaviors). The document describes common symptoms like repetitive checking, cleaning, or rituals. It notes OCD often begins in childhood/teen years and runs in families. CBT is discussed as an effective treatment that works by changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Exposure and response prevention therapy is highlighted as a key CBT technique for OCD where patients face fears and stop compulsions. The document concludes by reminding students about an upcoming unit project on anxiety disorders.
75% of adults reported moderate to high stress levels in the past month. Stress is the body's reaction to challenges and threats and causes wear and tear on the mind and body. There are two types of stress - eustress, which can be exciting and energizing, and distress, which occurs when faced with challenges like job loss. Long-term stress can harm health if not managed properly. Relaxation techniques like breathing exercises and mindfulness can help reduce stress in the short term, while developing organizational skills and a support system provide long-term stress relief. Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches stress management by changing negative thoughts and behaviors.
Parenting stress arises from the interaction between parents and their life demands related to parenthood. It can cause psychological and physiological distress for parents. Common sources of parenting stress include the child's temperament and behaviors, lack of social support, financial difficulties, and work-life imbalance. Perceptions of being unable to cope with parenting demands significantly contribute to stress levels. Mindfulness practices can help parents manage stress by cultivating non-judgmental awareness of thoughts and emotions.

Common types of loss include loss of external objects, familiar environments, aspects of self, and significant others. Theories on the grieving process outline stages like shock, awareness, restitution, and acceptance. Effective coping requires directly addressing problems when possible or reframing problems cognitively when not. Ineffective coping can drain energy and prevent better solutions. Nursing care involves comprehensive assessment of biological, psychological and social functioning, diagnosing

Patricia Perrin - CBT for OCD Characterized Primarily By Intrusive Thoughts, ...IOCDF
CBT and ACT approaches are used to treat OCD characterized by intrusive thoughts. CBT utilizes exposure and response prevention (ERP) by creating hierarchies of triggers to facilitate habituation of anxiety through repeated, prolonged exposure. ACT incorporates mindfulness, acceptance, defusion, values, and committed action to increase psychological flexibility rather than experiential avoidance. Both approaches aim to reduce compulsions and distress from intrusive thoughts, but CBT focuses more on thought content and anxiety reduction while ACT emphasizes the context of thoughts and movement toward valued actions.
Mindfulness in Business: Cultivating Your Competitive EdgeTara Rose
Mindfulness - the practice of cultivating deliberate, focused attention on the present moment – can bring focus, authenticity, and intention to the practice of leadership. Simply put, our brains are not equipped to handle the 11-plus million bits of information arriving at any given moment. For the sake of efficiency, we tend to make new decisions based upon old frames, memories, or associations.
Through mindfulness practice, a person is able to notice how the mind reacts to thoughts, sensations, and information, seeing past the old storylines and habitual patterns that unconsciously guide behavior. This creates space to deliberately choose how to speak and act.

3. Clarification
• COPING=>efforts to master, reduce, or
tolerate demands created by “stress”
• ADJUSTMENT=>psychological processes
through which people manage or cope with
the demands and challenges of everyday life.
• The stress response (physiological) requires
some behavior

5. Overview of Coping
• When various needs are strong and
persistent, we experience heightened arousal
(stress)
• Meeting important needs tends to reduce
stress levels, momentarily, back to optimal
• Coping is about restoration of homeostasis
6.
7. Recall Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
• Physiological
Needs=>Air, Water, Food, Temperature
Regulation, Homeostasis (e.g., between rest and
activity), (sex)
• Social Needs=>Affiliation, Intimacy, Family, (sex)
• Having met needs, through coping behaviors, we
experience:
Satisfaction, Fulfillment, Safety, Homeostasis
8. Figure 2.15 Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. According to Maslow, human needs are arranged in a hierarchy, and
individuals must satisfy their basic needs first, before they progress to higher needs. In the diagram, higher levels in
the pyramid represent progressively less basic needs. People progress upward in the hierarchy when lower needs are
satisfied reasonably well, but they may regress back to lower levels if basic needs cease to be satisfied.
9. Needs=>Coping
Behaviors=>Satisfaction
• Needs can be personality based
• Needs can vary in importance from time to time
• Needs can be related to need satisfaction in the
past or imagined future
• Needs tend to be cyclical
• Needs are ever present through life
10. Coping Strategies of Limited Value
• Giving Up=>”learned helplessness”
• Acting Aggressively=>cyber-bullying
• Indulging Yourself=>booze, carbs, drugs,
movies, internet addiction
• Blaming Yourself=>negative self talk
• Defensive Coping
11. Defensive Coping, fig. 4.3
• Defense Mechanisms for Coping:
Denial of reality
Fantasy
Intellectualization
Undoing
Overcompensation
12. Constructive Coping, fig. 4.4
• Appraisal Focused
-detecting & disputing negative self talk
*Problem Focused
-seek social support & impulse control
time management, better assertiveness
*Emotion Focused
-releasing pent up emotions, exercise
meditate
13. Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy
Albert Ellis (1913-2007)=>
-altering one’s patterns of irrational
thinking to reduce maladaptive
emotions and behavior
-Catastrophic thinking=>unrealistic
appraisals of stress that exaggerate
the magnitude of one’s problems
15. Ellis
A=>Activating event produces stress
B=>Belief system=> negative thinking,
catastrophic thinking, “musterbating”
C=>Consequences of negative thinking
results in emotional distress (anger,
outrage, anxiety, depression)=>
sympathetic ns overdrive=>coping
strategies of limited value
16. Ellis: The roots of catastrophic
thinking
• MUSTERBATING
-I must have acceptance and love from
certain people
-I must perform well in all endeavors
-others must behave the way I believe
-Events must go the way I like
17. Other roots of negative thinking
• Upbringing
• Life experiences
• Personality
• Inheritance
18. Problem-Focused Constructive Coping
• Clarify the problem=>break it down into
simple components (ex., how many
stressors do I have), prioritize, plan
*Generate alternative course of action=>
“plan A,” “plan B,” “plan C”
*Evaluate alternatives and select a course of
action
*Take action while maintaining flexibility
19. Emotion-Focused Constructive Coping
Emotional Intelligence=>the ability to
perceive, regulate, use and express emotion
(love, sadness, fear, anger, joy)
Forgiveness
Exercise
Meditation/Relaxation
Spirituality

39. 4 steps in systematic problem solving
• “Systematic Problem Solving” is a step-bystep technique for tackling problems (pp. 113
in text)
1. clarify the problem – often people do not
know what, exactly, is causing stress.
2. generate alternative courses of action –
use “brainstorming” to generate ideas.
3. evaluate your alternatives and select a
course of action.
4. take action while maintaining flexibility
40. Chapt. 4: Coping and hoping to change
• Most people with stress and coping problems
know they need to change but…………..
• most people don’t change, e.g., Internet
addiction, eating disorders, alcohol anddrug
dependency, procrastination, poor time
management, etc.
• Why not?
• inspirations and barriers to change
41. Why not change if person admits there is a
problem?
When addicted/dependent - motivation to
change varies
Person:
• may be perceive self to be weak and incapable
• usually ambivalent – pros and cons
• sees recovery or change as a distant dream or
fantasy
• motivation fluctuates

CBT is effective treatment for compulsive disorders
Thoughts
• monitor thoughts
• identify trigger thoughts: “Life is unfair to
me.”
• learn to respond with new coping skills:
Behavior
establish baseline of compulsive behaviors
moderate/eliminate dysfunctional behaviors
enhance non-online computer life
(social, occupational)
49. Motivating people: pros and cons
example - pros and cons of eating disorders
(Gale et al, 2006)
Goal: acknowledge, with patient, ways in which
eating disorders are either adaptive (friend) or
problematic (enemy)
How are ED’s adaptive?
• In the Gale study (roughly 200 Ss) , the more the
pros endorsed and the fewer the cons or
negatives endorsed the more positively people
feel about remaining with ED
50. Decisional balance sheet

Negatives for staying the
same: continued bone loss
Positives of change: more
