Attend Stopler’s presentation on Nov. 13 at SHARC
She will be teaching the class “Warding off Future Catastrophes” from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 13 at SHARC. The class is hosted by Sunriver You.
Here’s the class description: “Catastrophes are events causing great and sudden danger, despair or feelings of desperation. Catastrophizing involves believing that you are or will be in worse situations than you really are, exaggerating your difficulties. Catastrophizing is a common cognitive disturbance that may be a symptom of depression or anxiety. Understanding how your personal thinking regulates your emotional feelings, positive or negative, can assist you to better manage yourself in your own life. This class will introduce you to materials you can learn to use to identify your own confused thinking, make more rational thinking possible, and assist you in experiencing a more satisfying life.”
