Jeffry’s talk on Thriving During Covid really brought out the true Adlerian principles of empathy, support and social interest; for those of us who attended. Jeffry was vibrant, engaged and an energized presenter. So many wonderful and useful handouts, and tools that seamlessly made us all part of the conversation. The time just flew by. Absolutely delightful and worthwhile.
Jeffry’s very practical and informative workshop on reducing and transforming stress was an excellent addition to this year’s community mental health conference. He presented very usable and practical exercises that his online audience could practice immediately in real time. His very descriptive handout specifying causes of stress was very apropos in these difficult times. The fact that current research indicates “that if we perceive the situation as an opportunity, that we can move from distress to eustress” was a very heartening message to all in attendance.
In February 2021, I attended an online workshop presented by Jeffry Jeanetta Wark, LICSW: “Thriving During a Pandemic.” I was interested in the therapeutic techniques he was presenting to relieve general stress. But I was also interested to get specific techniques to help me perform that day during a very physically daunting lifeguarding test. I was very pleased because he taught us how to visualize certain success through a simple self-hypnosis process that took 5-7 minutes. After taking myself through the process and seeing my best outcome, I went to the exam much less nervous and am very pleased to say I performed really well and passed all the physical and swimming tests. I would highly recommend attending a workshop presented by Jeffry to help reduce stress and to find better performance through his excellent teaching of self-hypnosis.
