It’s exam time soon. Are you already worried? Does your stomach clench at the thought of studying or taking the exam? Do you sweat, shake or feel like you are going to vomit? Does your mind go blank as soon as the paper is put in front of you? What about everyday life? Do you find your mind spinning, trying to balance life and commitments and feel like you are falling short? Does worry keep you up at night? Do you feel your heart racing or like you can’t breathe out of the blue? Do you feel paralyzed by thoughts of the future?
Clinic Psychology, along with the Anxiety Disorders Association of Manitoba and RRC, is pleased to bring you a unique opportunity to learn how to handle stress and anxiety. In this open forum event, some of Winnipeg’s best psychologists will speak about the process of stress and anxiety and offer ideas about how to better cope. The best part is you will have an opportunity to ask the experts your burning questions in the Q & A portion. How often do you get free psychological advice?!? Don’t miss this amazing opportunity!
