Short Workshop | Max. 20 Participants
90 minutes
Workshop Outcomes
- Understand the neuroscience of anxiety and overwhelm — how the nervous system generates these states and why they are a normal response to workplace pressure
- Recognise personal early warning signals of anxiety and overwhelm before they escalate into burnout or impaired performance
- Apply at least two evidence-based mind-body techniques for interrupting anxiety and overwhelm responses and restoring a state of calm, focused readiness
Topics Covered
- The anxiety response — a neuroscience-informed explanation of how and why the nervous system generates anxiety and overwhelm, and what this means for workplace performance
- Identifying personal anxiety patterns — recognising cognitive, emotional, and physical signals that indicate escalating stress or overwhelm in the workplace context
- A practical mind-body toolkit — evidence-based techniques drawing on cognitive, behavioural, and somatic approaches for rapid, in-the-moment anxiety regulation

Overview
Anxiety and overwhelm are among the most common — and most under-discussed — experiences in the modern workplace. When left unaddressed, they erode concentration, decision-making, and interpersonal effectiveness, and significantly increase the risk of burnout and psychological harm.
This evidence-based session introduces employees to the neuroscience of anxiety and the feeling of being overwhelmed, and equips them with practical mind-body techniques for interrupting and regulating these states in real time. Drawing on cognitive, behavioural, and somatic frameworks, participants leave with an accessible toolkit they can apply immediately — at their desk, before a difficult conversation, or during periods of sustained pressure. Designed for general office-based teams, this 90-minute session normalises the experience of workplace anxiety without pathologising it and is suitable for all employees regardless of prior experience with wellbeing or mental health topics.

Who is this workshop for
Suitable for all employees in general office-based roles — particularly those in high-accountability, perfectionism-prone, or scrutiny-heavy environments where workplace anxiety is common but rarely named. Accessible to employees with no prior experience with mental health or wellbeing topics. Relevant to psychosocial risk management, mental health awareness, and employee wellbeing programs.
Handouts/materials provided
Participants receive a professionally designed PDF handout including key reference content from the session and a personal planning template for applying what they've learned. Designed to be used during the workshop and kept as a practical resource afterwards.
What to bring
Just yourself and a willingness to reflect. All workshop materials, including your participant handout, are provided on the day. No prior knowledge or preparation is required.
Facilitator
About the facilitator
Caroline Crosbie works at the intersection of neuroscience, performance, and workplace wellbeing — helping individuals and teams in demanding environments perform sustainably, regulate effectively, and work together well.
With over 30 years of experience and a Masters in Clinical Psychology from Ireland, Caroline brings a rigorous evidence base to everything she delivers. Her work draws on sleep science, nervous system regulation, and the psychology of team dynamics — translated into practical tools that work in real workplaces, not just training rooms.
She works primarily with leaders, managers, and teams in government and professional services — environments where the pressure to perform is high, the margin for error is low, and the human cost of getting it wrong compounds quietly over time.
Caroline's programmes are part of the Sustainable Performance Series — a suite of evidence-based workshops designed for organisations that take performance seriously and understand that sustaining it requires more than resilience training.
Key Expertise
- Psychological safety and team effectiveness
- Stress, anxiety and nervous system regulation
- Sleep science and work performance
- Burnout prevention and sustainable performance
- Emotional intelligence and leadership effectiveness
Industry Focus
- Government and public sector
- Local government
- Health and community services
- Professional services
- Mining and resources
