Managing Stress

Description

This friendly and concise guide will help students to understand what stress is, why they experience it and how they can manage it. Based on up-to-date research, the book teaches students how to identify their stress and anxiety triggers, and how to recognise the difference between healthy and unhealthy stress. It equips students with coping strategies to help them manage the ups and downs of university life, and provides guidance on the sources of help and support available to students. This is a must-have resource for any student who would like to manage their studies more effectively and deal with challenges in a more resourceful way.

For those struggling to cope with academic pressures, I highly recommend this book. It's clearly written and based on good evidence. I work as a clinical psychologist in the NHS and have already recommended it to some of my younger clients starting university. Unlike many CBT self-help guides, this book also introduces the reader to compassionate-focused and mindfulness skills, increasingly recognised as important aspects of any therapy * Amazon customer *
