This engaging and contemporary workshop is designed to provide university students with a relatable and practical understanding of anxiety. Using the popular film Inside Out 2 as a foundational framework, we will demystify the experience of anxiety by exploring its cognitive, physical, and behavioral components. The session will translate the movie's intuitive metaphors into the evidence-based principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), offering participants tangible strategies to manage anxious thoughts and feelings in their academic and personal lives.

In an era of constant digital stimulation and endless choices, university students often struggle to construct a meaningful life narrative. This workshop explores the scientific foundations of meaning in life through positive psychology research, with special emphasis on coherence, the cognitive component that helps us make sense of our experiences and identity. Drawing from Viktor Frankl's legacy and contemporary meaning in life (MIL) theory, participants will discover how the three pillars of meaning in life (coherence, purpose, and significance) interconnect, with coherence serving as the essential foundation for constructing life's meaning. This workshop also addresses how to harness social media as a tool for coherence-building while avoiding its potential fragmenting effects on our sense of self.
