Group sessions, Psychology Workshops
Opening up or working with others in a group may feel stressful first, but is a great opportunity to get fedback from your peers, to feel you are not alone with neither your difficulties nor your joyous experiences. Group sessions also provide safe space where you can discuss topics you otherwise wouldn’t, or make friends with those whom you otherwise wouldn’t have met.
Group sessions mainly focus on strengthening inter- and intrapersonal skills; just as dealing with stress and procrastination, managing or at least understanding the source of emotional instability, and learning some mindfulness and cognitive strategies which might provide quick help in need. For the creative minds, I also provide an insigt to art therapy, and how you can work on self-knowledge in your free time.
Details:
- 120 min each with 10-15 min break.
- On every session, I’m available for a little longer if you had anything to discuss personally about your experiences in the group
Dates and venue of Psychology Workshops
► Psychology workshop: Relaxation and mindfulness - Theory and Practice
- 28th of February (Friday) 14:00
- ELTE Main Building, 3rd floor 318
During the spring semester we'll take a closer look at different relaxation techniques.
If you ever felt stressed out and had no idea how to access it, this workshop is for you. If you had some ideas, you tried relaxation techniques but neither of them worked, this workshop is for you, too.
During the Theory part we'll try to find out how these techniques work, what they are good for, when to use them and what factors might be hijacking the process. The Practice part speaks for itself: we'll try some easy methods you can start working with in order to have at least one or two techniques to rely on when exam period hits.
Techniques we'll speak of: breathing techniques, mindfulness and emotional journaling, guided meditation, workout, progressive muscle relaxation.

► Psychology workshop: Autogenic training - Theory and Practice
- 28th of March (Friday) 14:00
- ELTE Main Building, 3rd floor 318
During the spring semester we'll take a closer look at different relaxation techniques.
This time we'll focus on one technique called Autogenic Training which is one of the most well-known methods for stress relieving. Autogenic Training focuses on the body and attempts to relax muscles and release tension.
During the Theory part we'll investigate the mechanism of action of AT. We'll identify the elements which make the method very effective as well as the elements that might be hard or confusing to deal with.
The Practice part is mainly an opportunity to try AT with my guidance. We'll also include a tiny part of self-awareness.
Please note, that you must arrive on time for the practice part and you cannot join later once the exercise has started.
After the workshop you'll receive the script for Autogenic Training so that you can start practising at home.
