| Inhalt |
Theory on hypnosis as well as autogenic training (AT) and progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) as examples for mind-body-techniques that were and are used in different medical fields. Several sessions with active training of AT and PMR with discussions about the individual effects on the course participants.
Goal is to get students aware of the topic of mental health, teach them two well established and provenly effective relaxation techniques as options for the prevention and treatment of mental health problems and have them experience the physiological effects of those techniques. Potentially also giving them a long term option to apply by themselves to achieve stress reduction and burnout prevention. |
