Workshop Title Focus and Simple Description

identify how these states are displayed both
physically and mentally. Using clear examples,
we will clarify the differences between
temporary hurt, intermittent pain, and long-term
mental suffering.
2. Buckets Full of Stress Using visual props, we demonstrate
how daily,emotions, external factors, and things out of our
control fill our "stress bucket." Learn how a full
bucket leads to strong emotional and physical
reactions like tension and high blood pressure.

Assertive, and Aggressive communication
styles through role-play and real-life examples.
We will discuss the impact of each style and
practice using flashcards to identify and choose
assertive responses.

"Burnt Out Bob"
case study and visuals to understand, prevent,
and recover from professional burnout. We will
cover the specific relevance of burnout in the
salon environment and how to keep your

between the support a stylist offers and the help a therapist provides.
We review available support options and guide
you in creating a personal action plan (1-2
immediate steps) for accessing professional
mental health care when talking is not enough.
10. Emotional Suppression & The Mind-Body Link
We explore how pushing down emotions affects your physical health,
using the visual of a ball pushed underwater to demonstrate how
