How to prevent mental illness New insights into the causes of mental illness, including severe conditions like schizophrenia, are explaining distressing symptoms and reducing suffering… Despite the billions spent trying to alleviate mental illness around the world, the rates of mental and emotional distress are increasing. Why? What is going wrong? Why are millions of people so stressed? And what can we do about it? Brilliant online course! At last, a clear explanation of what causes mental illnesses.PSYCHOLOGIST Why take this course ‘From Stress to Psychosis: how to prevent mental illness’ gives you the answers – and much more.. Over the last two decades, course tutor Ivan Tyrrell has played an influential role in integrating psychotherapy and counselling with the latest findings about brain functioning and human behaviour. On his enlightening course, you will find out how this knowledge – and the many insights derived from it – can be easily applied to improve the mental health of people suffering from a wide range of conditions, including the more serious. He explains, among other things, what happens to us when the brain is put under stress; why stress is associated with mental illness; why some people experience psychotic episodes and others don’t; what the difference is between being ‘stressed’ – which doesn’t feel good – and being ‘stretched’, which does. And why people on the autistic spectrum experience stress so intensely. You will also discover what people need to lead mentally and emotionally healthy lives – and what the best type of help is for anyone requiring psychotherapeutic interventions in order to recover quickly from stress overload, depression and anxiety disorders (including PTSD). And you will learn about a revolutionary new theory – described by some psychiatrists as “the only model on the table that explains the symptoms of schizophrenia” – which throws much-needed light on this distressing illness and explains why it has been virtually eliminated in communities where the correct approach to dealing with early onset of psychosis exists. The resulting psychotherapeutic human givens guidelines are already improving treatment – bringing important new hope to sufferers and those working with or caring for them. A different approach to the medical model – more humane and holistic, which is what is needed.OUTREACH & DEVELOPMENT WORKER (MENTAL HEALTH) What will you learn A better understanding of what ‘mental illness’ is The three reasons why all mental illnesses arise Why some stressed people – but not others – go on to experience psychotic symptoms (such as hallucinations, delusions and hearing voices) A richer understanding of the mind/body connection and its impact on our emotional and psychological health What increasing stress levels do to our brains and bodies Information about more effective treatment possibilities that are opening up for clinical psychology, psychotherapy and counselling A moving insight into Asperger’s syndrome Why high functioning people with Asperger’s are easily stressed and cause stress in others What everyone needs to be mentally and emotionally healthy – and how to maintain that wellbeing Natural ways of reducing emotional arousal and avoiding stress overload The central role of emotions in our lives – and why taking it into account is essential for psychotherapy to be successful Knowledge of the APET™ model – which rapidly improves psychotherapeutic outcomes and interventions – and how to integrate it into your work Illuminating case histories The brain as a pattern-matching organ – and what this means for mental health and successful therapy A remarkable observation (shown on film) about the connection between stress, dreaming, depression and psychosis Includes: Course notes Accredited CPD certificate and much more… Counts towards a Diploma By taking this course, you could be on your way to completing Part 1 of the Human Givens Diploma – a flexible, part-time psychotherapy course which will deepen your psychological knowledge and increase your ability to help people effectively and quickly.
