How to Move Beyond Labels

Course / Workshop Content

Who is this for? This workshop is for anyone who wishes to move beyond a diagnosis of mental health conditions and to expand their inner narrative into a more ‘whole self’ that is not defined by the diagnosis. The course focuses on the importance of developing and maintaining a positive self-identity while managing a mental health condition. The course acknowledges that a diagnosis can impact the ways we view ourselves and have a negative impact on our confidence. However, we can shift our focus from the diagnosis to our individual strengths and build up a positive sense of self and positive self-beliefs to navigate these new unchartered waters. What will I learn? In this course, you will develop a deeper understanding of the importance of viewing mental health in a holistic way. We will explore other parts of the self in relation to our interests, our strengths, our relationships, and our skills ad capabilities. We will work on acceptance of a new beginning, rather than focusing our limitations, to support and maintain a positive identity and self-image. How can I use what I will learn? Receiving a diagnosis can be difficult to deal with, although some will find relief in knowing what the root cause of their discomfort is, others will find difficult coming to terms with it. Either way, receiving a diagnosis leaves a mark in our sense of self, this course will give you the confidence and strength to move forwards and embrace yourself wholly.
