What the students say about us:

Integrative stress management course

Lila kassarjian - Laval, Quebec

Guilt, anxiety, fear, and PTSD. Probably are words we use on a regular basis (at least I did) without knowing the depth of each emotion. ISMC not only gave me an understanding of these expressions and their sources, yet it taught me how to detect them on a personal level, how to dig deeper and overcome many unrealistic feelings that were holding me back for such a long time without even being aware of. ISMC is not just an informative course, it's a life lesson that helped me and still helps me on a daily basis, to work on myself and discard all unreasonable emotions.

ISMC course

Lea Bassila - Beirut, Lebanon

This course has changed my life since Day 1. It changed my perception of myself, and consequently that of other people. That effectively improved my relationship with myself and with others as I’m better able to understand my emotions. Also, it’s complimentary to my practice, as I’m a dietitian that implements a holistic body-mind approach to health and nutrition. Most of my clients have trouble dealing with their emotions, and usually, resort to food as a distractor. This course gives me the tools I need to help them process their emotions and meet their needs without turning to food. And with emotional eating comes guilt, a very common emotion experienced by individuals with disordered eating. Guilt is the first and most important chapter of this course, so it’s a great addition to my practice. Very much recommended

ISMC course

Soleine - France

I had the chance to attend the Bridge Induced Stress Management Coaching course level 1 and 2 in 2020 and 2021 It was a very intense and complete course at a very special and crucial moment of my life. I learned a lot. And I am still learning when revisionning the videos. The tools and the approach proposed are innovative and amazing. The turning point of the course was the approach for dealing with guilt. I use all the technics learned on a daily routine on my patients and can say with determination that the big difference with other technics I learned in the past is that I now feel 100% legitimate to help my patients.

ELB and ISM courses

Ishu Raizada, Mumbai, India

Hello, This is Ishu Raizada, I am an ELB practitioner and Integrative Stress Management Coach as well. So here I am going to talk about ISM course. This course is just like magic for the clients. It contains all the emotional problems that you are suffering with and lots of therapies or techniques here that can help you in coping with all the emotional blockages. I had a case that I would like to share, there was a patient with having height phobia where he couldn't even look from the 2nd floor,u won't believe just after 2 sessions only, he can go up to 10th floor without any fear inside him. This is something magical I must say.

ELB and ISMC courses

Paolo Succar - Beirut, Lebanon

Hello. I am father Paolo Succar, a priest with Mission de vie, and I finished level 1 and started level 2 in PTSD. It helped me a lot because I always wanted to accompany people and help them in their journey of self discovery and self love. Spirituality helped me a lot, but I always thought that there must be some psychological issues in which spirituality won’t be enough but that I can acquire and help people in a deeper and more efficient way. Taking level 1 has already helped me to strengthen many people I accompany and to understand more and more what they are going through, especially in the tough times we are going through in Lebanon. What’s very helpful in this certificate is that it’s very practical and very clear regarding the methods we can use to help and in which cases. Although I come from a spiritual and theologian background, it was not hard for me to grasp the ideas that were given, although it’s very scientific and based on many approaches well known in psychology.

ISMC course

Nadine Aouad - Beirut, Lebanon

This course uniquely offered by the Bridge Institute, distincts itself by the richness of its content in dealing with different aspects of anxiety, phobia and trauma. It does not limit itself to one perspective, technique or school of thought, but offer a vast array of information and methodologies that allows the practitioner to understand and find the optimal approach to help their patient. It is also amazing because it takes you in a clear step by step process and teaches you how to implement the best stress management techniques. The classes are not only theoretical but but offer live demonstrations and implementation of the techniques which gives the student a unique grasp and understanding of the various methodologies learned in the course, as well as working on actual case studies followed by actual supervised practice of the techniques by the student. It also offers the graduates post graduation support and a unique network to allow the future practitioner to succeed in their profession. It is by far one of the best and most rewarding course I have ever had.

Ivana - Argentina

I attended the Induced Stress Management Coaching Training Level 1 in 2020. It was for me a natural path since I've been practicing many of the tools proposed in the Training as a patient of the Bridge Institut before. The Training is designed in a very organic, consistent way of approaching and understanding emotions and their mechanisms, we learned how to differentiate, assess them and treat them according to each case and context. There's an excellent follow up of each student, support of working and studying groups, and material along with exercises that help us to improve in each step of the Training. Case studies, video support, written material. The pedagogy of our Trainer Dr Jad Wehbe is absolutely innovative, dynamic, empathetic, generous and efficient. Every technique, (and they are many!) implemented and studied in ISMC Training is absolutely accurate and efficient for each type of emotion and case. I use them very regularly with my clients and on myself everyday to keep evolving and improving in my personal life and professional practice.

Reind Doughan - Beirut, Lebanon

A life-changing course I took the “Integrative stress management coaching” program with The Bridge institute. A fascinating, well-organized program that changed my life. It helped me personally raise my self-awareness, detect a lot of fears and anxieties that I was not aware of, and overcome them. It also made me conscious of my thoughts and feelings and gave me the tools I need to express and manage them. In addition to all that was mentioned, I was able to get rid of my old negative behaviours and habits and create new healthy ones. In my professional life as a physical therapist, the course made me realize that the body and the mind both form a strong entity which is The Self and that every treatment should target the Self. Combining physical therapy techniques and stress management techniques showed optimal and faster results.

Ralph Hobeika- Beirut, Lebanon

ISMC is not a regular course... It is a life-changing experience. Since the very first sessions, I fell in love with the enriching information and knowledge provided. On the personal level, understanding my emotions and how to deal with them was the first step towards reaching my inner peace and increasing my emotional intelligence. The satisfaction I felt when I started coaching people was out of this world. Stress management coaching help people improve their way of thinking and impact the emotional and behavioral aspects of their lives. I definitely recommend coaching to everyone willing to improve himself and help people around him. It’s time to prioritize our well-being.
