On 20 June, our psychotherapeutic counselling centre will once again be focusing on coping with exam nerves and presentation stress. In an exclusive workshop, our psychotherapist Stefan Balz will show how to effectively reduce stress in exam situations. The workshop is free of charge and the number of participants is limited.

Since June 2023, the Studierendenwerk has been offering open consultation hours at the Psychotherapeutic Counselling Centre, where a maximum 25-minute consultation is possible without prior registration. This service has been extremely popular with students so far. In the first quarter of 2024 alone, there were more than 40 of these short-term counselling sessions – more than in the last two quarters of the previous year combined.
The Studierendenwerk has therefore decided to further expand this service for the summer semester 2024. From now on, the open consultation hour will take place every Tuesday from 12:30 to 15:00. Up to five students can now have a free counselling session here. This means that the number of available time slots has almost doubled.
Furthermore, interested students should come to the counselling centre a quarter of an hour before start(i.e. between 12:15 and 12:30) and register for the open consultation hour at the secretary’s office. This helps us to organise the consultation hours on the day in question. We have compiled further information on open consultation hours here.
Did you memorise the material perfectly the evening before, but then suddenly find your head and paper blank during the exam? It happens again and again that knowledge in stressful situations can suddenly no longer be recalled. This is where we want to help. In December, we are therefore organising another workshop on exam anxiety and presentation stress.
That’s the point:
Many people feel uncomfortable and sometimes anxious in performance situations such as exams or presentations. To a certain extent, this is normal and is linked to the desire to perform well and receive positive feedback. However, above a certain level of nervousness and tension, performance can suffer (quite apart from the discomfort) and it is then often no longer possible to achieve a performance commensurate with one’s abilities. In extreme cases, when anxiety and stress are very high, performance can even collapse completely (blackout).

The PBS course programme for the summer semester now also includes a free compact workshop on the topic of exam anxiety and presentation stress.
The PBS already held a workshop on the topic of exam nerves in the last winter semester. Demand and feedback from students were so positive here that further dates are now being offered.
Many people feel uncomfortable and sometimes anxious in performance situations such as exams or presentations. To a certain extent, this is normal and is related to the desire to perform well and find positive feedback. However, above a certain level of nervousness and tension, performance can suffer (not to mention discomfort), and it is often no longer possible to achieve a performance commensurate with the skills available. In extreme cases, when anxiety and stress are very pronounced, performance can collapse completely (blackout).

At the end of April/beginning of May, the PBS team offers group training sessions in which students can learn about and try out effective relaxation techniques.
Are you often stressed? Do you find it difficult to switch off? Do you feel like you are rushing through your studies and sometimes lack the time to take a breath and relax? Stress management and relaxation are important factors for our mental and physical health. In our hectic daily lives, it can be hard to relax and de-stress, which can lead to physical and mental ailments. By learning how to relax and reduce stress, we not only improve our physical and mental health, but we are also better able to cope with challenges and demands in everyday life.
This group training is aimed at all students who want to learn about different relaxation methods and try them out right away. The central aim is to support you in finding an individually suitable form of relaxation and integrating it appropriately into your own everyday life.
With the help of exercises to do at home, you can apply and consolidate the newly learned strategies in a real-life environment.

On 9.12.2022, our PBS team is offering a workshop that shows students how to deal with stress in exam situations more effectively and consciously.

In order to make access to counselling as easy as possible, the Studierendenwerk has introduced an online appointment system on its website. From now on, you can use an online calendar to select free appointments for your first counselling session at the PBS and reserve an appointment that suits you. To do this, we only need a few details from you (e.g. at which college/university you are enrolled). The transfer of your data is encrypted and completely secure. After you have registered, we will send you all the necessary information on the further procedure.
If you are unable to attend the appointment, please let us know as soon as possible. In the interest of all those seeking advice, we try to keep waiting times short. By cancelling an appointment early, you help us to be able to assign the appointment to someone else.
If there is no suitable appointment, please send us an email at pbs-stuwe [at] sw-tuebingen-hohenheim [dot] de or contact the office by phone at + 49 7071 / 253960.
