Having a serious illness can be extremely difficult, presenting a wide range of emotional as well as physical challenges.  Medical practitioners tend to focus mainly on the body;  so this six week programme attempts to redress the balance by looking at your emotional well-being and the impact that long-term illness may have on close relationships and your way of living.

Over the 6 sessions you will:

  • briefly review your life, lifestyle and relationships to determine sources of support and areas that you might wish to change
  • consider what the illness means to you, and your assumptions about the future
  • learn strategies to improve your mood and cope with depression, anxiety and anger
  • explore how to manage the physical symptoms of your illness more effectively 
  • experiment with different forms of relaxation, hypnosis and visualization to to change mood, ease physical distress and attempt to fight the illness.
  • strengthen support networks
  • formulate a plan to help you feel more in control

 The programme - including 2 CDs for relaxation/hypnosis and visualization - covers six 90 minute sessions and costs:

  • £375 in Temple Cloud  (paid in advance)
  • £420 in Bristol  (paid in advance)
  • £65 per session in Temple Cloud
