Stress Management

Hi Judanne,


STRESS:
  • How Stressful is a question of how one feels one's self.

The Following situations can be stressful:

  1. Dealing with the high expectations a child brings from home.
  2. Being unable to give time to a problem, that is solvable but not in one or two short meetings.
  3. Dealing with a child's low expectations, when they are bright.

Alleviating stress:

  1. Know your career guidance subject.
  2. Five minutes deep breathing between sessions.
  3. Time Management.
  4. Support in school from other career guidance counsellors.
  5. Do other teachers know the counsellor's role?
