Short Workshop | Max. 50 Participants
60 minutes
Workshop Outcomes
- Understand why body-based stress regulation works when cognitive strategies alone are insufficient — including the neurological sequence that determines whether a regulation tool will be effective under acute activation
- Locate and correctly apply nine acupressure points used in the technique, and complete a full guided practice round during the session with a real workplace stressor
- Apply a repeatable three-step stress regulation protocol independently — immediately after the session, at their desk, without requiring privacy or preparation
Topics Covered
- Neuroscience of stress—how high activation reduces prefrontal cortex, making cognitive strategies less effective, and why regulating the body first restores clear thinking
- Three-step protocol—identify and rate a stressor, apply the setup statement, and complete the tapping sequence; practised in session
- Practical workplace application — when and how to use the technique before high-pressure situations, after difficult interactions, during accumulated daily pressure, and with physical stress symptoms, including how to apply it discreetly in a professional setting

Overview
Stress is not just a thought, it lives in the body. The tight chest before a difficult conversation. The held breath during a performance review. The tension that lingers in your shoulders long after the meeting is over. For most professionals, these physical stress responses are familiar. What is less familiar is a practical, evidence-based method for addressing them directly — in the body, not just the mind.
This session introduces a body-based stress regulation technique that uses gentle pressure on specific acupressure points to interrupt the stress response and restore calm. This approach is grounded in published research, including peer-reviewed studies showing measurable cortisol reduction and reduced amygdala activation. It is an evidence-based tool participants can use immediately, discreetly, and independently before a difficult meeting, after a challenging interaction, or during the accumulated pressure of a demanding working day.

Who is this workshop for
Suitable for all employees in general office-based roles — particularly those working in high-accountability, high-scrutiny environments where stress is constant but rarely directly addressed. No prior experience with body-based or somatic approaches is required or assumed. Works equally well as a standalone session or as an introduction to a broader stress regulation programme.
Handouts/materials provided
Participants receive a professionally designed two-page reference card covering the complete three-step protocol, a quick-reference guide to all nine acupressure points with anatomical locations, example reminder phrases for each point in the sequence, four common workplace application scenarios, and a personal practice planning template for use after the session.
What to bring
Just yourself. No preparation or prior knowledge required. A two-page take-home reference sheet is provided, covering the three-step protocol, the nine acupressure points, reminder phrases for each point, and a personal practice planning template.
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
