Modern society heaps people with stress and pressure. Time is greedily taken by work and the journey to work.
People rush about and spend their spare time wondering why they've got less and less spare time.

Demand for places is stratospheric, but this reporter got to sit in on two separate workshops as given by trained counsellors. Readers note - as the counsellors presenting the course are recruited from private agencies, this type of course is typical of what you can expect wherever you choose to take a class in confidence building or assertiveness training.
