Becoming Your Own Therapist: Decode Stress by Understanding Your Basic Psychological Needs
Practical training for your team, delivered in-house or as a public class. Some stress can motivate us, but long-term stress takes a toll on physical and mental health, and generic tips often don't help.

It uses psychological assessments, mindfulness practice and the three basic psychological needs: autonomy, competence and relatedness.
