1. The stress mechanism
In this video we talk about: the fight-flight mode, positive stress is also stress, compensatory stress
2. Stress management: the basics
When it comes to stress management, I use a very simple model: you need to work on your stressors, on your buffer and/or on your perception…
Simple model does not mean easy to to apply… ;-D
Find out the basics here. In future episodes I will go further into detail.
3. Stress management: working on your stressors (2 parts – there was a problem with the recording)
(For a technical reason this live broadcast was saved in 2 parts, sorry)
It’s getting very practical: whenever something stresses you, make sure to check whether it’s under your control or not and then take appropriate action.
4. Stress management: working on your buffer – relaxation
Relaxation exercises can be very important to help you activate your parasympathetic.
5. The logical levels
I already told you that stress doesn’t necessarily come from what happens to you but from how you look at what happens to you: your perception! And that perception is determined by your beliefs. The following theory was an eye-opener for me, this is where I heard about beliefs for the first time. And I still use it on a daily basis!
A bit longer than usual, but I believe it is worth it!
6. Cognitive restructuring
Another episode in the series. How can I change my ‘perception’? Doing ‘cognitive restructuring’ is one way of ding this!
Good luck with it!!
7. The power of perception
“Don’t believe everything you think!” – Everybody has made this mistake, right?!
Hopeful my tips will help you… good luck!

11. Resilience and drivers
In transactional analysis, they talk about ‘drivers’: there are 5 of them, 5 basic beliefs that drive you in everything you do. Even though you haven’t heard of this, you probably know some of them: ‘Please others’, ‘Be perfect’, etc…
As such, there is nothing wrong with them, if you use them ‘wisely’. But if you don’t, they can become stressors… Do you want to know more about them? Check out the video!
12. Resilience and dealing with change
