Pia Callesen - Midt i en bekymringstid

For you who are completely normal -- but perhaps think a bit too much Do you worry about everything from electricity bills and relationships to health and world peace? Do you lie awake with a racing mind -- even though you otherwise manage your work, your family and live a completely ordinary life?

Then you're far from alone. 80% of Danes worry daily. You don't need to have a mental health diagnosis before worries and rumination start to steal your energy, sleep and joy of life.

In her new, entertaining lecture, psychologist, PhD and bestselling author Pia Callesen focuses on five typical issues that can create unrest in your head and keep us trapped in rumination. With humour, warmth and relatable examples, she shows why our persistent attempts to analyse, control and solve all our thoughts often do more harm than good.

At the same time you get concrete metacognitive perspectives on how you can let the worries be present without spending hours on them -- and build greater confidence that you yourself decide which thoughts deserve your attention. The goal is not to remove all worries and unpleasant thoughts.

They are a natural part of life. The goal is to give them less power, so you get more peace of mind and more energy for what actually matters.

Pia Callesen is among other things author of the bestsellers Live More -- Think Less and Seize Life -- Release Fear and is current with the book Peace of Mind. Look forward to an evening where you become wiser, recognise yourself -- and get something to laugh about.
