Tackling Anxiety Together
Taster Session: 28 October - online - 19:00 - 1hr
Course starts: Wednesday 4 November 19:15 for a 19:30 start for 6 weeks.
What is Tackling Anxiety Together?
If you are finding that worry or anxiety are becoming a problem in your life, this course might be helpful for you. Tackling Anxiety Together gives you a chance to join others with similar experiences, to talk through issues and to support each other.
Please note that this is not a counselling course.
How does the course work in-person?
Tackling Anxiety Together is an interactive in-person course which runs over seven sessions. We look at tips to tackle the worrying habitual thoughts, as well as exploring what the Bible and God have to say about this topic.
Sessions include:
Understanding anxiety
Challenging habitual negative thought patterns
Helping our well-being
Each week there is an opportunity to discuss the content of the course, as well as your thoughts and feelings, with a small group. Each small group is facilitated by a host who has experienced anxiety themselves and is moving away from it. The team are here to support, to help and to listen.
There is no pressure to share.
Session List:
Session 1: The Mind: Understanding Anxiety
Session 2: The Mind: Identifying negative thought patterns and establishing strong foundations
Session 3: The Body: Managing the physical symptoms of anxiety and prompting joy
Session 4: The soul: Exploring emotions and anxiety
Session 5: The Soul: Identity & Self esteem
Session 6: The Spirit :Fear and love, where do they come from?
Please note:
This course is not run by healthcare professionals but rather people who have had experience of anxiety and hope to encourage and help others using information and techniques that they have found helpful in the past. It aims to be a source of encouragement, support and help for those struggling with anxiety. More info can be found here.
Lucy Poppleton | Wellbeing Leader
Lucy is originally from Manchester, but has called Sheffield home since studying her Masters in Psychology. She loves people, loves Jesus deeply, and wants her life to reflect His heart — especially for those who feel forgotten, powerless or on the margins.
She’s passionate about connecting people with the resources, community and support they need to flourish, and exploring the links between faith, psychology and mental wellbeing.
Outside of that, she loves dancing, all things Italian and, most importantly, a good pastry!
“As part of my new role, I am planning to help run and coordinate new wellbeing courses across the city of Sheffield, bringing together people who are on similar journeys to provide connection, support and community.
I would love to stay connected with you after the course, if you would find that helpful. I can offer signposting and potential connections with other people and services that may be useful to you.
I would also really value any feedback you have about the course. Please feel free to email me afterwards with any thoughts, reflections or suggestions you may have.
Looking ahead, we would love to be able to replicate this course in Sheffield and potentially offer further courses in the future. If you find the experience helpful and would like to support others who are on a similar journey, we would also be very happy to explore opportunities for you to volunteer on future courses.
Thank you again for your time, and especially for taking this first step to support yourself on your journey. I hope the course is a positive and encouraging experience for you.”
