Masterclass* – Supporting Overthinking, Catastrophising and Being Stuck in the Past

Are you a teacher who feels useless watching children ruminate and catastrophise over things that have not happened?

A social worker or early help worker who is meeting children who cannot get started because they have decided that everything will go wrong?

Or a coach, meeting children in your appointments who lose hours of their day or week overthinking scenarios that are not real?

Maybe you are a parent, watching your child battle with their own thoughts and catastrophies that are holding them back from enjoying life?

If overthinking and catastrophising are the peril of your work with children and you want to support them to understand their own behaviours, as well as gather tools to help them – then this masterclass is for you!

Join us as we explore overthinking, its presentation, contributing factors and a set of activities and worksheets to use with children right away. The course and workbook will take 40-60 minutes to complete.

Masterclass includes a 40 page workbook and a CPD certificate for your training records!
