DESCRIPTION:Course Dates: 28 June 2026 \nCourse Fee: S$10 \nCourse Outline \nThe Resilience Journey: Emotional Clarity for PMETs \n_____ \nHave you ever felt stuck in cycles of overthinking\, self-doubt\, or indecision? You’re not alone — it’s how the mind naturally responds to fear and familiarity. A 2024 Straits Times study found 47% of Singapore workers feel mentally or physically exhausted after work\, with two-thirds showing at least one sign of burnout. This workshop offers a practical\, evidence-based\napproach to respond differently\, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH). \nThis guided journey is designed for PMETs seeking clarity\, purpose\, and renewed energy. Participants will learn to:\n✅ Quiet mental noise and calm inner tension\n✅ Reframe unhelpful thoughts into empowering beliefs\n✅ Strengthen emotional resilience and focus \nBenefits \n\nHighly subsidised fee (usual $1\,500\, but this workshop is only $10\, first-come-first-served).\nA Certificate of Completion\nLight refreshment provided\nFree AI tools to support personal development and emotional clarity\nOptional 1-to-1 coaching on emotional regulation that impacts career\, relationships\, or health\nEvidence-based methods grounded in science\nPathway to international certification in the helping professions\n\nTrainer\nRhonny Chan – Clinical Psychotherapist (ICIP)\, Specialist Adult Educator (IAL-AEP)\, and registered member of the Association of Hypnotherapy Professionals Singapore (AHPS).\nWith over 15 years’ experience in adult education\, coaching\, and therapy\, Rhonny empowers professionals to build clarity\, resilience\, and confidence through evidence-based CBT and CBH practices\, integrating practical tools with genuine empathy. \nPast Participant Feedback\n Elaine (HR): “The techniques helped me quiet my inner noise & make decisions with\nconfidence.”\n Marcus (Senior Manager): “I gained focus and confidence I hadn’t felt in years.”\n Rita (Educator): “It gave me clarity to approach each day with calm and purpose.”\n Darren (Startup Founder): “Slowing down mentally also made me more productive and\ncreative.”\n Joanne (Social Worker): “Detaching from negative self-talk changed how I support\nmyself and others.” \nFrom Retrenchment to Renewal Based on True Story \nHis Situation\nAfter a retrenchment and months of job searching\, “Daniel” felt stuck\, discouraged\, and unsure of his next step. He wasn’t “broken” or “in need of treatment”—he was a capable professional facing a challenging transition that many PMETs experience. \nWhat Changed\nThrough Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH)\, coaching\, and guided reflection\, Daniel learned to challenge his self-defeating beliefs:\n “Setbacks happen to companies\, not me.”\n “My experience is valuable—every interview is proof.”\n “I am improving each round.”\n “My family sees my worth even when I don’t.” \nMoving Forward\n Reframing his mindset: shifting daily thoughts from defeat to growth\n Reprogramming subconscious patterns: using hypnosis/self-hypnosis to break long-held emotional habits\n Value anchoring: reconnecting to what drives him esp his family\, financial stability\, personal growth\n Career coaching: strategic job search\, referrals\, recommendations\, and visibility\n New habits: healthier lifestyle choices\, morning grounding routines\, journaling\n AI-CBH chatbot support: daily micro-coaching and reinforcement \nThe Result\nWith consistency\, clarity and renewed confidence\, Daniel rebuilt his resilience\, regained momentum\, and re-entered the job market with a stronger sense of self- worth and direction.
