Common Questions ...
Will I have to talk in front of other people?
No. It is not group therapy, it is a class. All the seats face the front. The person teaching the course will stand at the front and teach you all about stress and how to tackle it.
Will I have to write things on the course?
No. All you are asked to do is to tick your name off the register so we know who has come to the class.
What if I meet someone I know?
You may do. Stress is a very common problem and everyone is in the same boat. As we don't discuss personal problems, you don't get to know about why others are coming.
Will there be others on the course like me?
Stress affects people from all walks of life.
Although no two people will have exactly the same problems, you will all have a lot in common.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes. Bring them for a bit of support or for them to learn about stress. They may be under stress as well so they might be helped. The two of you can then fight it together.
What if I am not clever enough to understand it?
The course is straight-forward. We give handouts which you can read at your own pace.
Where are they held?
Classes take place in many locations in Fife.
There are usually 20 or so people who attend.
Do you offer other classes?
Yes, we also offer one-off 2-hr classes on other topics related to emotional wellbeing.
