The Importance of Sleep for Health and Performance Webinar
Wednesday, 29 May 2024 12:00pm - 1:30pm AEST
Online
The prevalence of inadequate sleep has increased dramatically in recent decades, and this has significant implications for both health and performance. This webinar will discuss the recent research regarding the impact of sleep loss in the development of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and dementia. In addition, the influence of sleep loss on cognitive and physical performance will be discussed, along with the implications of this for exercise performance and athletes. The intersection between the health benefits of sleep and exercise will also be explored, including how exercise can impact sleep quality. Finally, an overview of practical strategies for improving sleep habits will be reviewed.

Guided imagery and visualisation for therapeutic change
13 May, 1 July, 23 Sept, 11 Nov
Leeds, London, Bristol, London
Strong emotions focus and lock attention – keeping people trapped in problem behaviours. Therapeutic change cannot happen until the emotional arousal is reduced. This is why all health and welfare professionals need to know how to induce the relaxation response in their clients. Guided imagery and visualisation not only reduce emotional arousal quickly but can be used to reframe life circumstances through metaphor and to rehearse in the imagination any required changed behaviours and/or feelings, which dramatically increases the likelihood of those changes taking place in ‘real life’.
If you want to be able to help people effectively, this is a key course to attend – guided imagery is an essential skill required for removing phobias, curing PTSD, lifting depression and overcoming addictions or self-harm, and is also useful for raising self-confidence and increasing motivation. When you become confident in using these skills, you can begin to bring patients out of the emotionally-driven trance states of a wide range of conditions such as anxiety disorders, addiction, anger, stress overload, trauma, depression, chronic pain and much more.
That is why guided imagery is one of the most powerful psychotherapeutic tools available to us – and one you need in your ‘toolkit’.
