Themes behind this course

No coded theme in the interview log names the same ground as this course yet. Coding is under way, and themes will appear here once they are recorded. We do not list themes we cannot show the work behind.

What the course record states

Primary sources: Seneca on anticipatory reflection/premeditatio malorum; Marcus Aurelius on anticipating difficulties. Contemporary AURIS framing treats rehearsal as a brief preparation exercise, not a validated clinical intervention and not evidence that anticipated events cause less distress.
