Damaging emotions: how to protect the mind/body system

Any experience that results in high emotional arousal (such as unexpected bereavement, crime, physical and/or verbal abuse, sudden illness, relationship breakdown or a loss of status) sets off a cascade of physiological changes that can be extremely damaging to physical health and mental stability.

But despite the wealth of knowledge available, our society doesn’t yet have a good handle on what happens to the mind/ body system in the face of severe emotional distress.

Understanding the implications of this is, however, vital for all health and caring professionals if we are to minimise the far-reaching and potentially harmful impact of such events on those in our care. And now, with increased levels of anxiety and fear in our society due to the threat and effects of terrorism, it is more important than ever that we absorb and put to practical use essential knowledge about how our emotions can affect our health.

What you gain from the day
  • Seven vital strategies for handling emotional people in traumatic circumstances and keeping calm yourself
  • New research information about ‘iatrogenic’ language and the mind/body connection
  • Increased understanding about the need for clear thinking about emotional behaviour at all levels
  • Insight into the psychological harm our increasingly bureaucratic society is mindlessly doing to millions of people.
Who should attend
  • Psychotherapists, counselors, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, doctors, psychiatric nurses, occupational therapists, health visitors, nurses, pastoral workers, social workers, youth workers, trainee counselors, psychology students, etc. – and particularly anyone working in an environment where emotional levels are frequently raised.
  • Anyone (for professional or private reasons) who wants to understand more about the effect our emotional life has on our mental and physical well-being, as well as learn what we can do to minimise the potentially damaging effects that too much strong emotion can have.
