Q5 breakfast improving mental health at workMelissa Dunn
Q5 were delighted to host an ‘Improving Mental Health in the Workplace’ breakfast yesterday morning. Guest speaker Lord Dennis Stevenson - co-author of the ‘Thriving at Work’ report - shared his personal experiences and insights into the positive, tangible changes that organisations can make to think differently and encourage mental wellness. We were joined by senior leaders from a range of industries for a very open and thought provoking discussion in the room - expertly chaired by Mark Rice-Oxley.
We have shared a summary of the contributions in the attached PDF.
This document discusses healing from birth trauma using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). The author started offering workshops on healing birth trauma after experiencing an unwanted c-section herself, which left her feeling devastated and like she failed as a new mother. Birth trauma can have major impacts on women's health, relationships, and decisions around future children. EFT is described as a powerful way to heal trauma and resolve blocked energy from distressing birth experiences by reframing memories and reducing negative emotions associated with the trauma. Practicing EFT during the workshops is meant to help women process their experiences and feel relief from symptoms of postpartum traumatic stress disorder.
This document discusses stress, resilience, and stress management. It provides definitions of stress from historical figures. It describes the body's stress response and how stress can impact health. It discusses signs of chronic stress and adrenal fatigue. The document also outlines lifestyle factors like nutrition, exercise, and sleep that impact stress levels and provides stress management techniques.
This document discusses coping with spinal cord injuries. It notes that spinal cord injuries cause major life changes and normal emotional responses like depression, anxiety, and anger. While responses are individual, negative assumptions about disability must be overcome. Stress and stress reactions to the injury are also normal, but can become unhealthy if the situation is not managed. The relationship between thoughts, feelings, and actions is important, and it is crucial to take action by identifying stress sources, getting information, actively coping, thinking, planning, and getting support. With time, acceptance, and realistic thinking, people can learn to manage their disabilities and resume control over their lives.
1. The document discusses post-traumatic growth, which is the idea that people can experience positive psychological changes and improvements in their lives after experiencing trauma or difficult circumstances.
2. It describes five areas of growth that people often experience, including greater personal strength, improved relationships, a new appreciation for life, seeing new opportunities, and experiencing deeper spiritual or existential changes.
3. The document advocates that through positive psychology practices and an upward spiral approach, people can construct a new reality and heal from past trauma by addressing it and experiencing post-traumatic growth.
Caregiver stress can manifest physically, emotionally, and psychologically and put caregivers at risk for poor health outcomes and early mortality. Screening tools like the Zarit Burden Interview can help physicians identify caregivers experiencing high levels of stress. Interventions may include reducing caregiving demands through respite services, counseling, or institutionalizing the care recipient in extreme cases. It is important to evaluate the health status and needs of both the caregiver and care recipient as a unit.

It identifies five main sources of stress: physical, chemical, electromagnetic, deficiency-based, and psychological stress. The document advocates reducing stress through various techniques in order to build health and prevent disease.

This document outlines an agenda for a stress management workshop. It includes icebreakers for participants to introduce themselves and discuss stressful experiences. It reviews research on stress and its impacts on health. The workshop aims to help participants identify their stress indicators, stress reduction resources, and set personal goals for a healthier lifestyle. Various activities are included like stress inventories, discussions on managing stress through humor, relaxation strategies, and incorporating more positive emotions at work.
The document discusses how hypnosis can help reduce postnatal depression and promote mental wellbeing during and after childbirth. It explains that hypnosis helps alleviate fear, tension, and pain during birth by promoting relaxation. Clinical evidence shows that hypnosis can significantly reduce the length of labor stages and decrease the need for pain medication. The document also outlines techniques taught in birth preparation classes like breathing, visualization, massage, and understanding the body's natural birthing process.

Practicing spirituality and mindfulness through yoga, meditation, and other techniques can help reduce stress and promote health and well-being. It works by calming the stress response in the body and activating the relaxation response. This allows the body to avoid long-term health issues caused by constant stress and perform at its best. Regular practice is needed to fully realize these benefits and maintain a peaceful state of being.
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.
Stress is experienced by over 91% of people and can negatively impact one's health and performance. It arises due to external pressures that exceed one's capacity. Stress can be acute, episodic acute, or chronic. Acute stress occurs due to recent and anticipated demands, episodic acute stress results in short-temperedness due to frequent acute stress, and chronic stress grinds away at people over long periods of time. Workplace stress is common and can be caused by unreasonable demands and expectations from superiors. Stress management techniques include relaxation, exercise, healthy eating, time management, saying no, and spending time with loved ones.
Trauma is a neurobiological process that occurs when a stressful event causes the brain to become "cortisoaked" in stress hormones like cortisol. When this happens, parts of the brain involved in fear, memory, and decision-making function differently. Discussing trauma can be difficult due to both internal barriers within survivors and external stigma. It is important to use supportive responses when talking to someone who has experienced trauma, such as active listening, validation, and offering resources without attempts to fix or blame. Coping skills and mindful awareness can help both survivors of trauma and supporters manage feelings and regulate emotions.

regulating stress/stressors.
Not just because of amount being carried, though there’s that.
Also, because when toxic/traumatic stress occurs, particularly
during development, it impacts our system.

58. PTSD is Not Incurable
It turns out that people headed for a diagnosis of post-
traumatic stress can't just "talk about it"- the trauma isn't even
stored in the parts of the brain where language can access it.
Instead it's been cached as frozen, primitive, pre-language
experience - sensation, perception, emotion, images and
motor reactivity - in the survival-based structures of the brain.
In fact, if survivors can talk about traumatic events with
appropriate feeling and clear, sequential memory, it's a good
bet they're not going to acquire PTSD anyway.
• Huffington Post, 2010
“Talk therapy basically doesn’t cut it with this particular affliction, Post-Traumatic
Stress.”
• April 2013, “Downloading Treatment for PTS, Belleruth Naperstek
59. PTSD is Not Incurable
Threads of what she suggests as most helpful to veterans in particular but those
with PTSD in general are techniques that do the following:
1. They first and foremost find ways to re-regulate the nervous system.
2. They de-stigmatize and normalize the experience by explaining PTS as the
somatic and neurophysiologic condition it is.
3. They offer simple, self-administer-able tools that empower the end-user and
confer a sense of mastery and control.
4. The interventions are cast as training in skill sets, not the healing of
pathology.
So, hopefully those of my colleagues who aren't up to speed will soon be learning
some new skills. And hopefully they'll stop talking to reporters and soldiers until
they do. In the meantime, the general public and our military need to demand
treatments like the ones cited above, and reject the idea that this condition is
incurable.

1995 to 1997 data collected from. Follow-Up:Ongoing
“Even those who don’t misuse alcohol or other drugs or become obese have measureable elevations in their risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and some cancers and infectious diseases.”
True for adult traumas too – they don’t happen during development but still damaging. Some, with secrecy shame (rape,combat) higher rates of PTSD.
Baseline survey data on health behaviors, health status, and exposure to ACEs were collected from 17,337 adults aged >18 years during 1995-1997. The ACEs included abuse (emotional, physical, sexual); witnessing domestic violence; parental separation or divorce; and growing up in a household where members were mentally ill, substance abusers, or sent to prison. The ACE score (an integer count of the eight categories of ACEs) was used as a measure of cumulative exposure to traumatic stress during childhood. Deaths were identified during follow-up assessments (between baseline appointment date and December 31, 2006) using mortality records obtained from a search of the National Death Index. Expected years of life lost (YLL) and years of potential life lost (YPLL) were computed using standard methods. The relative risk of death from all causes at age < or =65 years and at age < or =75 years was estimated across the number of categories of ACEs using multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression. Analysis was conducted during January-February 2009.
RESULTS:
Overall, 1539 people died during follow-up; the crude death rate was 91.0 per 1000; the age-adjusted rate was 54.7 per 1000. People with six or more ACEs died nearly 20 years earlier on average than those without ACEs (60.6 years, 95% CI=56.2, 65.1, vs 79.1 years, 95% CI=78.4, 79.9). Average YLL per death was nearly three times greater among people with six or more ACEs (25.2 years) than those without ACEs (9.2 years). Roughly one third (n=526) of those who died during follow-up were aged < or =75 years at the time of death, accounting for 4792 YPLL. After multivariable adjustment, adults with six or more ACEs were 1.7 (95% CI=1.06, 2.83) times more likely to die when aged < or =75 years and 2.4 (95% CI=1.30, 4.39) times more likely to die when aged < or =65 years.
