1 6/2/2016 Opening Exercise: Relaxation Techniques (Various) RELAX! You will receive a simple breakdown of these activities in your packet! My Connection A little overview about Stress/ Anxiety Anxiety is the body s natural reaction to stress and stressors It is the body s alarm system whenever we perceive danger or a threat Adrenaline rush= Fight or Flight When does this become a problem? Fight or flight happens instantly whereas it takes a few seconds longer for the thinking part of the brain (i.e. the cortex) to process the situation and decide whether the threat is real, and how to handle it. When the cortex sends the false alarm/ calm down signal, the fight-flight response deactivates and the nervous system starts to chill. *BE WARNED: Counseling/ intervention may be ineffective during fight or flight as the brain is not ready to accept logic and rational thinking patterns! 1
2 6/2/2016 A little overview of Stress/ Anxiety (Cont.) Anxiety sufferers focus on the what if s There are many different types of disorders that stem from anxiety (Panic Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, etc.) In many instances, anxiety and depression can occur simultaneously or as a gateway from one condition to the other. Often times, they are referred to as first cousins. SOME level of stress and anxiety is helpful and natural. Anxiety and stress can become problematic when it begins to interfere with ADL s (Activities of Daily Living), normal interests and overall mood. Stress/Anxiety In Children/ Adolescents (My experiences/ observations: Common Themes) Intensifies in 3 rd grade- Wonder WHY? (AHEM STATE TESTING) *State testing begins in 3 rd grade in Virginia Parents (even those that suffer from Anxiety) ALSO need help coping! Frustration Helplessness Can t pinpoint Can t Fix Connection to Psychological Theory Maslow s Hierarchy of Needs New Situations Conflict/ Poor Social Skills Bullying/ Abuse Poverty/ Homelessness Connection to Biology/ Development Children and Adolescents (HELLOOO HORMONES!) are irrational beings By NATURE! It is developmentally challenging to handle anything but the here and now. As counselors, many of the skills we teach them are abstract concepts in that they have to see BEYOND what they are experiencing. This is difficult and takes MUCH practice! Anything you can do to make things MORE concrete (pictures, manipulatives, handouts, props, stories, books, personal disclosure, etc.) the better. These things make it more REAL! 2

8 Stressor Guesser Game Players: 4-6 and 1 Facilitator Materials: Stress Inventories (Included); One die (Not Included) Goal: To gain confidence in communicating/ expressing stressors to others and to establish commonalities among group members. Directions: DO NOT EXPLAIN RULES UNTIL AFTER THEY HAVE TAKEN THE INVENTORY! 1) Have students complete the brief inventory below. *Remind students/ players that there are no right or wrong answers and that they should respond truthfully and keep their eyes on their own papers. 2) Collect the inventories from the students. 3) NOW EXPLAIN RULES TO STUDENTS! 4) Assign each student a number (1-6 for a standard die) 5) PLAY!: When it is each player s turn, they will roll the die (Player 1). Whichever player belongs to the number rolled (Player 2) is the player that they (Player 1) will have to guess the stress for. For example, Player 1 would say: One of Maria s stressors is talking in front of large groups. Player 2 answers yes or no and you (facilitator) would verify with their inventory. If the Player 1 guesses correctly, they (Player 1) gets a point. If they (Player 1) answer incorrectly, they (Player 2 gets the point). Give each student the opportunity to talk about their stressors and form connections/ find commonalities with other students/ players. You may choose to state, at the beginning of the game, what the ending point would be. Ex. The winner will be the first player to reach Stressor Guesser Mini Stress Inventory Check the 5 items that make you the MOST worried/ anxious: Heights Being Late Getting a Bad Grade Speaking in Front of People Reading Out Loud Doing New Things Being in New Places Meeting New People Getting in Trouble Forgetting Things Family Problems Friendship Problems Crowds
