CONNECTIONS to HEALTH

Assertiveness - At last - It's time for YOU! Date: Saturday July 12 Venue The Ishta Centre Time: 10 am to 4pm Are you great at giving to other people? An absolute master at pleasing and helping others but really struggle when it comes to considering your own needs? Do you find yourself saying 'yes' to requests for favours or help even when you know you haven't got the time or the resources to give? Well worry no further, this is the course to help you. And don't think you are alone. So many of us, ourselves included, have worried so much about caring for the needs of others that we have completely ignored our own needs. The aims of this assertiveness course is to give you the opportunity to understand why we find it so difficult to stand up for ourselves and be able to say no when we know our heart is telling us to do so. Learning to understand what assertiveness is and why we struggle with it are the first steps towards addressing and solving it. We aim to make this day both informative and fun and leave you with coping methods and techniques that you can take away from the day which will allow you to move forward to a more balanced, happier place in life where you can learn to respect and help others and yourself at the same time. Your facilitators, Ros Davies and Mark Lynch, are both qualified counsellors with a wealth of experience in supporting people with assertiveness, confidence and self esteem issues. We have both been in that place where self esteem has felt down and confidence is at a low ebb and we offer the course not just from reading and research but also from personal experience some of which will be shared throughout the day to help you see that there is path to a happier more fulfilled place in life where you believe that you matter! Due to the popularity of this course, places are offered on a first come first served basis so please contact us as soon as possible to secure your place. As this is the first time we are running it in this area, we are offering places at the introductary rate of £65 ( normally £80). This includes lunch and all refreshments throughout the day. So come and join us for a fun, informative day out and learn how great it feels when you can say - It's time for me!!
