The “all inclusive” program against stress!

With this multi-part seminar, you will expand your skills in dealing with stress in a variety of ways. You will gain a better understanding of how stress arises and put together effective and long-term methods to help you deal with stress in a more relaxed and healthy way. Good time and learning management and dealing with the fear of exams are just as much a part of the program as learning about autogenic training.

For many students, a shortage of time, pressure to perform or the fear of exams play an important role in everyday life. However, the ways of dealing with stress are as varied as the stressors themselves. This seminar is offered by Techniker Krankenkasse as part of the HEALTH4YOU project and is aimed at students of all disciplines who want to reduce stress levels and improve their stress management in the long term. The course is also open to non-members of TK. Regular attendance is a requirement. The seminar takes place in a small group under the guidance of a qualified psychologist.

Please only register if you can attend all or most of the dates. If you are unsure, please contact the seminar leader in advance: stresskompetent@gmx.de

We will develop helpful strategies to enable you to work continuously on your own goals.

Studies show that PhD students are confronted with special challenges and a high level of stress. This puts them at a higher risk of mental illness than other population groups. In cooperation with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the TK has developed an adaptation of the stress management training “TK-MentalStrategien - Pflichtfach für starke Nerven” for students for the target group of doctoral candidates.

The “TK-MentalStrategien - Gelassen zur Promotion” training is characterized by its high practical relevance and is specially tailored to the everyday research routine and challenges of doctoral candidates.

Doctoral candidates are provided with helpful strategies for dealing with the inevitable stress during the doctoral period in a healthy and constructive way - these are also indispensable skills in professional life. In this respect, the training makes a preventative contribution to a successful academic career.

In an initial evaluation of the training, 90% of participants stated that they were fairly or very satisfied with the training.

The seminar schedule is as followed:

Date 1 | Stress and its effects - Tue, August 26, 2025 (online)

Date 2 | Protecting yourself from stress - Tue, September 02, 2025 (online)

Date 3 | It's the attitude that counts - Tue, September 09, 2025 (online)

Date 4 | Managing stress successfully - Tue, September 16, 2025 (online)

Everyone has different inner voices - sometimes they motivate us, sometimes they slow us down. The Inner Team model, developed by Friedemann Schulz von Thun, helps us to consciously perceive these inner parts, understand their messages and resolve inner conflicts.

In this interactive seminar, students learn to uncover their own inner team and use it in a targeted manner. By consciously working with personal components, clarity is brought to decision-making processes, self-doubt is reduced and one's own inner voice is strengthened. This method is particularly helpful in stressful situations, exam anxiety, professional orientation or personal conflicts.

Advantages of the inner team:
✅ Clear decision-making and inner balance
✅ Better handling of self-doubt and insecurities
✅ Effective self-management in challenging situations
✅ Greater understanding of your own needs and goals

In the seminar, participants receive practical instructions and techniques to set up their own Inner Team and work with it sustainably. A valuable tool for your studies, career and personal development!

Athletic and functional training has become increasingly important over time. Initially, this form of training was ridiculed. Thanks to (sports) scientific findings, athletic training is now an integral part of many individual and team sports. But what exactly is hidden behind the term “athletic training” and how can we train athletically for specific sports and everyday life? These and other questions will be answered in the “Athletic training” seminar.
