Product Description

Course Outline:

There are a range of different coping and damage-repair systems that appear to operate on a psychological level.

Learning may influence these patterns; they appear to operate automatically. The most common ones include:

  • TALKING – People who have undergone a traumatic or hurtful experience often show the need to repetitively tell others about the experience as a way of reducing tension and allowing themselves to become desensitized to their experience.
  • CRYING – Crying is a common way to deal with emotional hurt and tension in adults and children.
  • LAUGHING – Viewing hurts with humour and trying to joke about them and laugh them off can alleviate emotional tension.
  • SUPPORT SEEKING – When we are stressed, adults and individuals may seek support and protection from others.
  • DREAMS – Individuals who have had traumatic experiences such as fire; crashes, etc. may report repeated dreams or nightmares as they relive the traumatic experience.  This appears to be desensitizing the individual to their painful experience.

These reactions vary according to the situation, nature of the traumatic event and the individual.  Other mechanisms of protection are known as ego-defence mechanisms.

Our tutors are always available to one-on-one support you via email or a phone call if necessary.

We are proud of the high-quality tutor support we provide from our highly qualified tutors.

Our assessments are designed is such a way that the student feels confident to move forward in the course as they complete each assessment. The feedback from the tutor not only reaffirms the student’s learning process but also gives an opportunity to the student to interact with the tutor regularly. Students are never penalised when their assignment work needs to be improved, rather they are given constructive feedback and requested to resubmit the section where they need improvement. Students do their assignment work at their own pace within the course duration and are not restricted by any deadlines which is the beauty of self-paced learning. The assessments will make the certificate achieved more credible and valuable to the student.
