Workshops and lectures

The registration is made using the reply form to the Centre for Continuing Education in Science.
"The critical talk is the prevention of a conflict!"
Who does not know those moments when the behavior of someone close to us annoys us? Often there are small things, such as a thoughtless remark or an undertone in the voice. But sometimes it is also a specific, recurring behavior that bothers us. Why is it so difficult to express or accept criticism in these situations? Is the focus more on deficits or potential? And what does all of this have to do with yourself? The two-part seminar should take away the fear of the topic and encourage you to grapple with conflicts when they are still very small. In this training you will learn which basic behavior is favorable to maintain private and professional relationships. It is about the conscious use of solution-oriented communication adapted to one's own conflict behavior.
EVENTS
April 12th, 2021 & April 19th, 2021, 9 a.m.-12 p.m.

Who does not know that? It is better to ignore unpleasant things. Nothing happens to me ... It's all too human. But a thoughtless moment on a skiing holiday or a person driving a car would rather look at the cell phone than on the road and the misfortune takes its course. It doesn't even have to be an accident, serious illnesses or the pitfalls of advancing age also mean that people can no longer manage their lives independently.
If you are still in the middle of your professional life, the children take up a good deal of your time with their leisure activities and suddenly your own parents also notice that they expect support from you, then you quickly reach your limits. It's good if you've heard of the fact that there are counseling centers that listen to you and help you to find the right path for you in the jungle of possibilities of health insurance, care insurance, social welfare office, professional providers and volunteer work.

Wie Gefühle auf unsere Bedürfnisse hinweisen und Ambivalenzen transparent machen? Emotionen entstehen nicht ohne einen Anlass bzw. einen Auslöser. Dieser Auslöser kann eine bestimmte Situation (äußerer Anlass) oder ein Gedanke, eine Erinnerung, ein inneres Bild oder auch eine andere Emotion (innerer Auslöser) sein. Die Funktion von Emotionen besteht darin, dass sie uns eine schnelle Einschätzung der gegenwärtigen Situation ermöglichen und uns wichtige Informationen über unsere aktuellen Bedürfnisse geben. Sie funktionieren in gewisser Weise wie die Warnlämpchen in unserem Auto, die uns durch Aufleuchten darüber informieren, das beispielsweise ein Scheinwerfer kaputt oder der Tank leer ist.
So zeigt bspw. Angst an, dass die aktuelle Situation eventuell einschüchternd ist und unser Bedürfnis nach Sicherheit in dieser Situation nicht ausreichend befriedigt ist. Ärger weist bspw. darauf hin, dass uns möglicherweise ein Unrecht getan wurde und unser Bedürfnis nach respektvoller Behandlung und Wahrung unserer Interessen unbefriedigt ist. Ein Schuldgefühl bspw. zeigt an, dass wir eventuell selbst etwas falsch gemacht haben und signalisiert unser Bedürfnis nach Vergebung.
Emotionen liefern damit oft eine hilfreiche Einschätzung der aktuellen Situation, können aber auch das Ergebnis vergangener Lernerfahrungen sein, um uns beispielsweise vor unangenehmen Situationen zu schützen. Andererseits kann das emotionale System, das extrem schnell reagiert natürlich auch öfter einmal einen Fehlalarm auslösen. Insbesondere im Arbeitskontext zwischen kann ein widerständiges Verhalten auftreten, wenn Unsicherheiten hinsichtlich eines angemessenen und hilfreichen Umgangs mit unangenehmen Emotionen auftreten.
Mit dem Seminar erhalten Sie einen Einblick in die Kunst der Emotionsregulation, basierend auf den neusten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen der kognitiven Verhaltensforschung.

"The best fight is the one that didn't take place!" (Unknown)
It is not uncommon for us to know people who are shown more respect than others. What distinguishes these people? How and through what is it possible to achieve the desired respect? Positioning yourself and setting limits are the first prerequisites. In order to be credible and to achieve the appropriate effect, the subconscious of the other person must be addressed. Conscious action with body language and voice / language are essential.
FOCAL POINTS
- Recognizing and showing your own limits
- The unconscious effect of voice / language and body language
- Practical knowledge from the transaction analysis
- Alternative courses of action in the event of verbal aggression (insult, threat)
- Behavior when the distance is shortened (optional for face-to-face training)
- Practical experience of simple self-defense (optional for face-to-face training)
- Self-defense / emergency aid
GOAL
In this training you will learn how you can basically behave so that violence against you becomes unlikely. In the case of face-to-face training, you learn to be able to assert yourself even in the event of physical attacks.
MEETING

We know from everyday life how difficult it can sometimes be to correctly assess one's own limits. Often we exceed the limits of what is feasible because we have difficulties rejecting orders and tasks or saying “no”. Both research on stress prevention and resilience reveal findings that are important for our health. Regulating yourself and taking responsibility for your own actions and thus consciously shaping your own future are relevant skills for a fulfilled life. After a short thematic introduction, the seminar offers you the opportunity to deal with your own drivers and limits through exercises and to learn to specifically say “no” with the help of appreciative communication and self-empathy.
MEETING

Regardless of age, everyone can come into a situation in which others have to act and decide for them. In such cases, the health care proxy is a useful tool to determine who can make such decisions when you can no longer do it yourself. What should be considered and how does a power of attorney differ from an advance directive? And what is a care directive actually? The care center Cottbus and the care authority would like to encourage and support you to take preventive measures.
MEETING

The ear is a sensory organ that picks up sound waves and thus enables us to hear. it is also of central importance for our sense of balance, because the inner ear contains the organ of equilibrium. the information from the organ of equilibrium is processed in the brain and passed on to other organs that depend on this information - for example, the eyes, the joints or the muscles. this enables us to keep our body in balance and orient ourselves in space.
You can measure your balance on a balance board and your hearing with an audiometer in the frequencies 0.5 to 8 kHz.

Influenza vaccination 2020
Summer time is coming to an end. In times of Corona, the decision for or against a flu vaccination plays a bigger role. The flu shot is the best way to protect yourself and others against the flu. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) and the Standing Vaccination Commission (STIKO) therefore recommend flu vaccination, especially for those groups of people who, if they are ill, have a high risk of severe disease.
This year there will be no flu vaccination on the central campus and campus Senftenberg due to the change in attendance.
If you are interested, please contact the local medical practice. We very much hope that we can offer you the flu vaccination again next year.
