Stressing on
Managing Stress
SOS and Seacare Senior Executives, Managers and Directors attended
a talk on Stress Management organised by Seacare Thrift on 24 August
2004 at Club@52.
The speaker, Ms Saras Atre, is highly qualified and well-versed in individual,
family and group therapy dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety,
anger management, parenting skills, adolescent skills and many more.
Having worked with professional psychiatrists from established
hospitals before, Ms Atre was able to engage her participants in a lively
and enriching exchange.
In the highly pressurising and fast-paced society today, this course was
certainly conducted in good time and in a cosy environment. Ms Atre, who is fluent in English, French, Hindi and Tamil, was
humorous during her presentation and participants laughed along as they gained new insight into the realm of ‘Stress’ and
‘Stress Management’, which has been much taken granted for.
The course discussed the various factors leading to stress, symptoms of stress, how it affects our bodies and the practical
aspects of stress management. Particularly the dos and don’ts of coping with and alleviating stress, which can make much
difference in how one handles his affairs.
Such information and knowledge certainly came in handy for all busy people who lead such hectic lifestyles. At the end of
the session, all participants were visibly more relaxed than they had first been before the course started.
