A stress management workshop was organized on 17th March 2026, as part of our EDU 07 , with Dr. Sreejith Nair , a clinical psychologist, serving as the resource person. The session was conducted from 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Sir began the session by introducing the concept of psychology and explaining different types of psychological conditions, particularly psychotic and neurotic disorders. He then discussed stress, its nature, and how prolonged stress can lead to anxiety. He also provided insights into the functioning of the brain, especially the prefrontal cortex, and how it plays a role in managing emotions and decision-making.
Further, he explained how stress affects individuals differently. He highlighted that in today’s context, some people appear less affected by stress, even in situations like exam pressure. He also discussed the major causes of stress, including problems at home, workplace challenges, and negative thinking patterns.
An interactive activity was conducted where participants were asked to approach ten people and collect their personal experiences related to stress. This helped in understanding real-life perspectives. He even clarified our personal doubts and also provided the alternative measure we have to take while facing a stressful situation.
In the afternoon session, a group activity was organized. Participants were divided into teams of ten, and he gave a series of instructions that they had to follow quickly. The activity demonstrated how easily people can be influenced and how attention and awareness play an important role in our actions. It also highlighted the concept of suggestibility and distraction.
He further emphasized the importance of maintaining personal boundaries and having individual space in relationships. The session also included a worksheet activity to reinforce learning.
The workshop concluded with a vote of thanks, expressing gratitude to Dr. Sreejith for his informative and engaging session.
