Wellness Sessions
Let My Anxiety Talk to Me

Anxiety is a natural response of every individual, but when it becomes overwhelming, it can impact living a healthy life. Understanding its triggers and learning effective coping strategies is essential for healthily managing anxiety.

On that note, the Counseling and Wellness Centre is going to host two wellness sessions titled "Let My Anxiety Talk to Me." These sessions invite the participants to explore anxiety not as something to silence, but something to listen to. Through guided reflection, mindful techniques, and open conversation, this will create a safe space to decode the voice of anxiety—what it’s trying to tell an individual, and how to respond with compassion instead of fear.

Whether an individual is feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply curious about a new way to relate to their own emotions, this session offers tools for connection, calm, and clarity.

We invite the students of BRAC University to join us and take the first step toward turning your anxiety into a powerful ally for growth.

Date: 27 and 28 April 2025 (Sunday and Monday)
Time: 03:00 pm to 4:30 pm
Venue: Club Room 04, Level 06
