This, first section of the workshop, is conducted in the form of an Interactive Seminar. It gives comprehensive understanding of mental stress and its causes. We believe stress management techniques will be most useful, when the participant understands the complex phenomenon of stress. It further explains the impact of stress on the mind and the medical model of its effect on the body. Symptoms and illnesses caused by stress are also explained. This allows participants to identify stress in themselves and others around them. Then with the help of two questionnaires participants quantify their stress at their job and their ability to cope with stress in general. At the end of this section, participants are curious and eager to learn and practice various stress management techniques.
