Coping with stress and uncertainty

Unfortunately stress seems to be a built-in feature of modern life. We are all trying to fit in too much with less time all the while societal and political challenges negatively impact us. Changing the system would be the long term solution…

But in the shorter term we can learn to cope with stress and uncertainty in a way that's healthier for our body and mind. This session will walk you through some simple but effective tools to better cope with the stresses of life. 

What you will get from this 60-minute session:

Strategies for understanding unhealthy stress coping mechanisms and gradually swapping them for healthier ones
Tools to connect with your body and relax your physical response to stress
A tool for identifying sources of stress and focusing your attention where you can make a difference
Breathing exercises to activate your parasympathetic nervous system - calming down the stress response
Support in action planning what stress busting tools you'll implement in your life

And we’ll end with a meditation to help you relax and take wellness into the next part of your day.

Setting workplace boundaries to improve your wellbeing

Many people struggle to set boundaries because of a niggling fear that they will be letting people down, upsetting authority or come across as difficult. But healthy boundaries are essential to look after our wellbeing and therefore our effectiveness at work. 

Some of the keys to setting great boundaries are knowing what you want (or don't want), why that matters to you and being able to communicate that to others in an assertive way - confident but friendly. And there are tools to help you achieve this. 

What you will get from this 60-minute session:

Understanding the different types of boundaries we set and understanding your current patterns and preferences.
Strategies for feeling more confident and assertive - ready to have workplace conversations about boundaries.
Guidance on how to assertively and diplomatically put boundaries in place and ask for what you want. 
Tips on how to say no in a way that feels comfortable for you
Support in action planning the boundaries you want to strengthen in your work.

And we’ll end with a visualisation to help you build your confidence.

Living in the Present
Do you ever find that your brain can’t enjoy the present? Maybe you are wandering into the past to ruminate on what’s happened? Or looking to the future worrying about what there is to do? Whilst past and future thinking have their uses, they can suck the joy from our day to day lives. 
We want to help you to relish the present and make the most of everything it has to offer. 
This session will introduce you to GEM; How Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness are at the core of living presently. We’ll be sharing tools to help you:
Use gratitude to increase joy in your daily life
Use empathy to strengthen relationships with others
Use mindfulness to calm your nervous system and feel grounded in the moment

Growth Mindset
It’s human nature to avoid anything uncomfortable – like growing pains. But do you know what feels worse? Realising that you have stayed stuck and missed out on opportunities. 
When you learn to foster a growth mindset you are able to shake up that little voice holding you back and go after the things you really want and the person you really want to be. 
This session will help you to understand the journey of growth so that you can build a more effective mindset. We’ll be sharing tools to help you:
Understand your mindset
Step out of your comfort zone
Identify your areas of growth
Challenge limiting beliefs
Persist in the face of growing pains
Embrace the benefits that come from a growth mindset
And we’ll end with a meditation to help you take wellness into the next part of your day.

About this event
This seminar supports you to implement ideas from the Six Stages Framework. It is designed for those who are reading or have read my book Understanding and Dealing with Everyday Racism- The Six Stages Framework
There will be an opportunity to discuss this and apply the six stages framework to identify action plans and ways forward.
Come and join us and talk about the challenges you are coming across in this area, share your story. How are you dealing with the challenges. What are your coping strategies and who do you lean on for support?
How is the Six Stages Framework supporting you in understanding discriminatory behaviours and in exploring the behaviours, language and beliefs exhibited by people at the different stages of discrimination.
Let's explore peoples stories through perspective taking. We will also explore where you are in your journey and your action plan for moving in the right direction on the Six Stages Framework.
The seminars are conducted in a no blame and safe space. At the beginning of each seminar the ground rules in the shed to ensure everyone's safety and ability to contribute.
Check out my previous posts/ podcast and Youtube video on Understanding and Dealing with Everyday Discriminations and Behaviours.

I will be discussing the stages of the SIX STAGES FRAMEWORK from my new book. For a summary of the stages visit my website.
https://www.sixstagesframework.com/six-stages-framework/what-are-the-six-stages/
The Six Stages Framework offers a language to talk about spectrum of discriminations. This includes violent acts on the negative dimensions of the Six Stages where people spiral out of control into bad, and destructive behaviours culminating at stage -6 which some may refer to as extreme and violent behaviours.
Whilst the Six Stages framework was originally formulated with racism and racial injustice in mind, it can be adapted to other forms of discriminations such as gender, disability or LGBTQ and also to other extreme acts such as violence towards women or violent killings like we have just seen in Uvalde and Buffalo.
Sometimes we fail to see the signs and symptoms of behaviours spiralling down the negative axis of the Six Stages Framework whether that be as it applies to racism or to other forms of discriminations including violence. Is this because we don’t have the language to think about these issues or because we just don’t like to think about behaviours.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION TO THE SIX STAGES FRAMEWORK
“The Six Stages Framework is an action-based positive tool that will speak to many people and provide the language many people feel that they don't have to speak about their own biases and racism. “What is special about the Six Stages Framework, is that it is a positive, action-based, non-judgemental tool that is essential to addressing sensitive topics.“ Aishling Dempsey, MSc Clinical Health Psychology student/ Honorary Psychology Assistant, Inclusion Psychologists Ltd.
In supporting individuals and organisations to understand and challenge racism it is important to explore and to be able to identify some of the beliefs, values and behaviours individuals and organisations engage in as they struggle to reformulate their views and challenge their own prejudices.
The stages are designed to support individuals and organisations to identify where they are in terms of their awareness of understanding and responding to racism. It is important that as a society we appreciate that we all at different stages in our journey towards understanding and dealing with racism and promoting a more equitable society which does not discriminate according to one’s race, colour and/or appearance.

WHAT ARE THE SIX STAGES?
Description of the Six Stages of Understanding and Dealing with Racism (+ axis)
The Six Stages Framework is a psychological tool that is designed to assess where individual people or organisations are in their journey towards understanding and dealing with the complexities of individual and systemic racism, whether that is conscious or unconscious, overt or covert: direct or indirect
Stage +1: Unaware, silence and denial
This stage is characterised by having a lack of awareness of racial equity and diversity issues, often presenting as ignorance or being oblivious or ethnocentric. It is characterised by silence or denial of such issues, perhaps by keeping one’s head down, hoping a whole conversation will end, or finding ways to divert from a particular topic to other subjects that seem safer.
Stage +2: Dismissive and avoidant
People at this stage are aware of issues of race, however they are often dismissive of these issues and often believe that racial inequity and social injustice is not such a big issue. There is denial (and avoidance) that racial and social injustice is an issue, and an opinion that there are far more important inequalities and injustices in the world. This is what they tell themselves and others. The denial and discomfort that arises results in avoidance/resistance/anger and shifting attention to other issues that feel more manageable and tolerable.
They are more comfortable talking about gender issues and disability and will always point to other inequalities rather than racism.
At stage +2 people are avoidant of facing race issues; this distinguishes them from the person at stage +1 who is oblivious and ignorant.
Stage +3: Becoming aware of issues of race
At this stage, people are becoming aware of differences and of racism. They begin to question their original stance at Stages +1 and +2. They recognise that there is inequity and racism, but do not understand why, or what they can do about it. They express discomfort about talking about racial differences and racism and feel overwhelmed by the issues. They often express a sense of helplessness, guilt and even shame, and they just want to make everything be okay for everyone.
Stage +4: Open to learning
People at this stage are open to learning and having meaningful conversations about race, including challenging perceptions and biases. They are genuinely willing to listen, learn and re-educate themselves, and may seek out literature on the experiences and testimonials of black people and other ethnic minority groups. They reflect and readily engage in conversations about social, racial injustice and racism and will explore (and own) any unconscious bias they have,
Stage +5: Ability to see the bigger picture
This stage features an ability to reflect and genuinely engage in conversations and with the issues of social/racial injustice and racism, whereby people start to see the bigger picture around race. They are able to explore and own their unconscious bias, white privilege or other positions of power informed by the reading and education gained in Stage +4. They are keen to explore their role as an ally and how they can make a difference.
Stage +6: Leadership qualities
People at this stage are able to take on leadership roles in promoting racial equity, inclusion and social justice. They may join together with others to challenge social injustice and racism, possibly through community engagement, or through a desire to work with others towards a greater cause with the understanding that there is more that unites us than separates us. They understand that racism is about power and systems and focus their energies on supporting change in this area. They will speak up when necessary and challenge racism or perceptions of racism when others are afraid to. They are clear about allyship and their role.
What are your first thoughts about these stages? (e.g. have you seen these stages occurring in others? Are they accurate?) The model is not linear but fluid and dynamic.
Where do you think you are on this stages/ journey?
SUMMARY OF THE SIX STAGES of Understanding and Dealing with Racism (+ve and -ve axis) are as follows:
 Stage – 6: Extremists/leadership
Strong racist views and work to champion them to others and recruit others to join them.
Stage – 5: Entrenched views and behaviours
Exhibit strong racist views and enjoy sharing them with others.
Stage – 4: Anger and blaming of ethnic minorities
Likely to attack and reject the views of those who are different. Extreme ways of thinking and behaving.
Stage – 3: Attacking and rejecting
Resenting time spent on race, display of outrage whilst projecting one’s own racism onto others
Stage – 2: Dismissive and avoidant
Dismissive of issues of race, pretending that racial and social injustice do not exist
Stage – 1: Unaware, silence and denial
Lack of awareness, Ignorance, oblivious, silence and denial
Stage + 1: Unaware, silence and denial
Lack of awareness, Ignorance, oblivious, silence and denial
Stage + 2: Dismissive and avoidant
Dismissive of issues of race, pretending that racial and social injustice do not exist
Stage + 3: Becoming aware of issues of race
Becoming more aware of differences and racism, and questioning. Recognise inequity and racism but do not understand why or what they can do about it.
Stage + 4: Open to learning
Open to learning and having meaningful conversations- challenging one’s perceptions
Stage + 5: Ability to see the bigger picture
Ability to reflect and genuinely engage. Starting to see the bigger picture around race- paradigm shift
Stage + 6: Leadership qualities
Ability to take on a leadership role in promoting racial equity and social justice. Joining with others for the greater good and for the sake of Humanity.

This stage is characterised by having a lack of awareness of racial equity and diversity issues, often presenting as ignorance or being oblivious or ethnocentric. It is characterised by silence or denial of such issues, perhaps by keeping one’s head down, hoping a whole conversation will end, or finding ways to divert from a particular topic to other subjects that seem safer.
Stage +2: Dismissive and avoidant
People at this stage are aware of issues of race, however they are often dismissive of these issues and often believe that racial inequity and social injustice is not such a big issue. There is denial (and avoidance) that racial and social injustice is an issue, and an opinion that there are far more important inequalities and injustices in the world. This is what they tell themselves and others. The denial and discomfort that arises results in avoidance/resistance/anger and shifting attention to other issues that feel more manageable and tolerable.
They are more comfortable talking about gender issues and disability and will always point to other inequalities rather than racism.
At stage +2 people are avoidant of facing race issues; this distinguishes them from the person at stage +1 who is oblivious and ignorant.
Stage +3: Becoming aware of issues of race
At this stage, people are becoming aware of differences and of racism. They begin to question their original stance at Stages +1 and +2. They recognise that there is inequity and racism, but do not understand why, or what they can do about it. They express discomfort about talking about racial differences and racism and feel overwhelmed by the issues. They often express a sense of helplessness, guilt and even shame, and they just want to make everything be okay for everyone.
Stage +4: Open to learning
People at this stage are open to learning and having meaningful conversations about race, including challenging perceptions and biases. They are genuinely willing to listen, learn and re-educate themselves, and may seek out literature on the experiences and testimonials of black people and other ethnic minority groups. They reflect and readily engage in conversations about social, racial injustice and racism and will explore (and own) any unconscious bias they have,
Stage +5: Ability to see the bigger picture
This stage features an ability to reflect and genuinely engage in conversations and with the issues of social/racial injustice and racism, whereby people start to see the bigger picture around race. They are able to explore and own their unconscious bias, white privilege or other positions of power informed by the reading and education gained in Stage +4. They are keen to explore their role as an ally and how they can make a difference.
Stage +6: Leadership qualities
People at this stage are able to take on leadership roles in promoting racial equity, inclusion and social justice. They may join together with others to challenge social injustice and racism, possibly through community engagement, or through a desire to work with others towards a greater cause with the understanding that there is more that unites us than separates us. They understand that racism is about power and systems and focus their energies on supporting change in this area. They will speak up when necessary and challenge racism or perceptions of racism when others are afraid to. They are clear about allyship and their role.
What are your first thoughts about these stages? (e.g. have you seen these stages occurring in others? Are they accurate?) The model is not linear but fluid and dynamic.
Where do you think you are on this stages/ journey?
SUMMARY OF THE SIX STAGES of Understanding and Dealing with Racism (+ve and -ve axis) are as follows:
 Stage – 6: Extremists/leadership
Strong racist views and work to champion them to others and recruit others to join them.
Stage – 5: Entrenched views and behaviours

Stage – 2: Dismissive and avoidant
Dismissive of issues of race, pretending that racial and social injustice do not exist
Stage – 1: Unaware, silence and denial
Lack of awareness, Ignorance, oblivious, silence and denial
Stage + 1: Unaware, silence and denial

Stage + 3: Becoming aware of issues of race
