PROPOSAL FOR THE TALK
ON STRESS THERAPY













6

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This proposal is created to inform and request permission for this talk program.
This talk program is about stress therapy. Some pressure at work can be motivating, but
when it becomes excessive it can eventually lead to work-related stress. Stress is the
adverse reaction people have to excessive pressures or other demands placed on them,
according to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Stress symptoms include a pounding
heart or palpitations, a dry mouth, headaches, odd aches and pains and loss of appetite for
food and sex. Work stress can be caused by things such as a formal warning, bullying,
victimisation, increased work pressure, deadlines and management changes.
Some people may avoid asking for help, believing that in our modern, rapid-
paced culture, "handling it all" on ones own is a must. But in fact, everyone needs some
assistance in managing stress at times. Soldiers, astronauts, politicians, actors, athletes,
teachers and yes, even therapists--just about anyone you can think of--all seek a listening
ear, some sage advice, aid with a difficult task or decision, or an opportunity for a little
R&R if they are feeling overstressed.
Some will also seek a therapist. Traditional psychotherapy stopped short of
teaching stress management skills directly, but today, most therapists know a few good
stress reducers and can help you learn them relatively quickly. Since stress affects body,
mind, and emotions, reducing stress can occur on these levels as well. For example:

Mind:
Reality checking negative thoughts and catastrophic thinking
Problem-solving
Planning in advance
Learning from mistakes
Focusing on the positive
Meditation /Focusing on breathing

Body:
Deep breathing
A long hot bath
Exercise
Dancing
7


Emotions:
Laughing, crying, screaming at the sky
Artistic endeavors
Talking with a friend or confidant
Doing anything you really enjoy


2.0 RATIONAL

efficiency and makes good staff hand in their notice. This talk can help to ensure the

problem to their manager. So manager can get outside help to tackle or reduce work-
related stress in organisation. Moreover, employers have a duty to ensure the health,
safety and welfare of their employees.

3.1 Prevent negative workplace stress.
3.2 Help staffs to recognise the physical and emotional effects of stress and do
something about it.
