Controlling Your Actions (Parts 1 & 2)

What you’ll learn

This session looks at how stress affects behaviour — and how behaviour can keep stress going.

When feeling anxious or overwhelmed, people often avoid situations, withdraw from others, or change their behaviour to feel safer. While this can help in the short term, it often increases stress and reduces confidence over time.

In Part 2, you’ll learn practical, step-by-step ways to break this cycle. This includes facing your fears, stepping out of your comfort zone, and using problem-solving skills to deal with challenges more effectively.

Why this session is important

Avoidance can quietly strengthen stress. This session helps you take small, manageable steps forward, rebuild confidence, and face life head on.
