Stress Management & Resiliency Training (SMART) 

Changing thought patterns, learning relaxation techniques and gaining awareness of yourself is no light matter! It's a journey, you will have lifetime access to the material so you can take your time, go at your own pace and learn 1% at a time. There is no set destination, It's a process. When you are willing and committed you will benefit and yes you can do this.

Every previous participant has questioned their ability, but that I your brain trying to keep you safe. Familiar pain trumps unfamiliar freedom. By knowing your neuroscience you can prepare and gain leverage. 

You get what you put in. My aim is to embed new techniques into an existing schedule not to overwhelm and add more to your to-do list. See it more being strategic. For example, if you are able to meditate for 5min in the morning this may buy you time during the day as you will have greater clarity of thought, be less reactive and more productive.

As a minimum, you will need time to watch the videos, complete the main exercises & attend coaching calls (1-2 hours a week). You will have audio files so this can be done on your commute for example. In addition 10min twice a day for self-reflection and habit forming. Once you start to see shifts, you will realise how powerful this is.

This is a very common statement! Meditation is not levitating in a state of bliss. My take is do what you can, be willing, be aware and start slow. Once you know the science behind it, you most probably will change your mind. 

There are lots of ways to meditate and you will try different techniques until you find what works for you. Your brain is unique, yes; but is it immune to the positive effects of meditation? No. Be willing, curious and try it...you will surprise yourself.

No. I am a doctor delivering this course. This is not therapy, group therapy or a substitute for medical or psychological/psychiatric input. This is an adjunct, a course in resilience and stress management. I will teach you about your brain, your stress response and the tools to build awareness, relaxation and adaptive strategies.

You can share as much or as little as you want. The Q&A sessions are for you and you can ask your questions anonymously. You can also learn A LOT from others. You will also have private calls with me to discuss specific goals and challenges. 

If you have a psychiatric or psychological input you should consult with your health professional before embarking on SMART.

We all learn differently and processing certain concepts can take time. I remember it took me months to figure certain things out and seconds to make some shifts. It is not about grasping everything, it is about exposure and experiencing a different way of thinking, feeling and being. 

Remember, go at your own pace. The Q&A recordings are yours to download; the handbook is yours to read and implement at leisure. You will have LIFETIME access to the SMART online program!

The welcome module and module 1 will be released immediately. The Q&A will be fortnightly from week 1 and the recordings available for download shortly after. You will receive your handbook pack in week 2. The bonus modules will also be released in week 2. The remaining modules will be released weekly from week 3 onwards. You  can book your 1:1 session anytime during our 3 months together.

This is a step by step course, to be taken in incrementally. Releasing the materials all at once creates confusion and overwhelm. Remember you will have LIFETIME access to the course.

Accountability and support are important pillars of a successful self-healing journey. You will have fortnightly group coaching calls AS WELL as your private 1:1 calls with Dr Debar. You will also be offered the chance to create accountability groups with fellow SMART participants.
