What is the course about?
Understanding that it is not just the events happening around you that affect your stress levels. Whilst job losses, minimum hours contracts, lack of communication and feeling undervalued can contribute to us feeling more anxious. How you choose to think about events and what you tell yourself about them will affect you physical and mental well-being as well.

• Introduction to the ABC of problem thinking to understand triggers, beliefs and consequences
• Recognising and discussing some of the ten common thinking traps that cause us to be anxious.
• Ways of disputing unhelpful beliefs and finding a healthier alternative - the ABCDE of REBT.
What will I achieve?
By the end of this course you should be able to...
• To understand more about ‘triggers’ and how you personally ‘do’ anxiety
• To use the ABC’s to identify thoughts that trigger anxiety and how rational these thoughts are

• To take away the ABC process and use it as a means of identifying and challenging anxiety.

I discovered NLP in the 1980's, as a freelance journalist specialising in writing work-based features for the London Evening Standard, ‘Just the Job’ section on employment, motivational training, business and sales. I trained as an NLP Master Practitioner, first in Education then in Business and ran motivational NLP trainings in workplaces such as NHS and charities, and offered individual NLP coaching to business people At City Lit each NLP course I teach is slanted towards different aspects of NLP i.e. ‘’Building Rapport Skills’. ‘Self-Motivation’. ‘Understanding Thinking Styles’. I have integrated NLP and psychotherapy to run courses on ‘Managing Internal Stress – Introduction to CBT/REBT (Rational emotive Behavioural Therapy’ an action-based psychotherapy and ‘Logosynthesis’ to help lessen the impact of unwanted traumatic thoughts and images. I have written five NLP based books, including ‘Motivate Yourself and Reach Your Goals’ in the Hodder Education, ‘Teach Yourself’ series. To read my NLP articles go to www.francescoombes.com
