Somatic Resource Development
Stress management - from Hard Facts to Soft Skills
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), pathogenic stress - along with global climate change – poses the biggest challenge of the 21st century. We meet stress in all aspects of our lives, especially at the workplace with its ever more complex work environments and excessive demands and pressures, but also in our family life, spare time and the relationship to ourselves. Stress is generally considered positive if it encourages us to increase our performance and to surpass ourselves. Pathogenic stress, however, means that there is an excessive inner pressure which makes us go far beyond our natural and healthy limits without any break or chance for regeneration. This permanent stress leads to stress-related illnesses and psychological sick leave, which has cost the German economy around 21 billion € in 2004.
Higher value added through systematic stress management
A company’s success increases with the performance and the stress-resistance of its employees. We offer you customized solutions for a systematic stress management which can be implemented quickly and have a long-lasting effect. Our approach consists of analysis, diagnosis, solution concept, realization and implementation, especially tailored to the course of business and the goals of your company.
Somatic Resource Development’s Fields of Work
In the following fields, adjustments can be implemented to increase the flexibility and performance and at the same time the stress-resistance of the individual employee:
- Implementing of breaks, relaxation and sleep, chronobiological pace
- Metabolism and digestion types, weight, diets, Brain-Food and Power-Food
- Exercise, sports, training, overtraining, body awareness at the workplace
- Inner attentiveness vs. outer orientation, needs, demands, values, goals
- Emotional and social competences at work: Soft skills for managers
- Family, friends, hobbies, arts and culture – Work-Life-Balancing
Somatic Resource Development – Approaches:
Step 1 - Analysis and Diagnosis
How stressed out am I ?
When does stress occur ?
What are the most important triggers for my stress? What are my stress symptoms ?
How do I react to stress? How does stress-physiology work ?
This is implemented through stress-questionnaires, HRV- and stress analyses, blood tests, daily cortisol level and structural body analysis, individual work and work in pairs
Step 2 – solution concept
Stress on a neurobiological level, stressors and stress reactions; positive vs. pathogenic stress; stress and neurobiological mutations; stress and time management, body clock and external time, ultradian rhythm, resilience and somatic resources, stress and communication, stress and body awareness, inner attentiveness and heart coherence neuro-biofeedback, burnout and neurological stress fragmentation.
This is implemented through questionnaires, lectures, joint elaboration in small groups and in plenary, individual work and work in pairs.
Step 3 – Realisation, implementation and feedback in following areas:
- Inner-supplychain-management
- Improved resilience through HRV-biofeedback and heart coherence
- Neurobiological change management
- Chronobiological time management
- Development if somatic resources and stress-free communication
- Burnout prophylaxis
- Defragmentation of neurobiological stress
This is implemented through explicit instructions, communication practices, physical exercises, deep relaxation, hypnotic trances, inner attentiveness.
Goals of the somatic resource development:
Somatic resource development shall help your employees and your company to stand out at the market when it comes to human resources and its performance, speed and flexibility. The results of our projects are tailor-made solutions for an increased efficiency.
