About this course
Stress is part of being human, but it becomes harder to manage when pressure feels constant or out of control. This course explains stress in plain English, helps you recognise your own early warning signs and gives you practical ways to respond: short grounding tools, problem sorting, recovery planning and clearer routes to support. It is educational self-help, not a substitute for medical or psychological care.

Course content
1. Understand the Pattern
Stress makes more sense when you can see the pattern rather than just feel trapped inside it.
Stress is a response, not a character flaw
Know your early warning signs
2. Interrupt the Spiral
Short tools create a little space. They do not have to solve the whole problem to be useful.
A 90-second reset
Worry, problem or uncertainty?
3. Recover and Get Support
Coping is not only about what you do during stress. Recovery changes what happens next.
Recovery is part of the plan
When self-help is not enough
