This has been a truly enlightening experience for me.
"Initially I felt that [the section on catastrophising] did not apply to me - so blinded was I by my way of thinking!! Then I caught myself catastrophising and realised I do it A LOT. It was a huge awakening for me and I have been able to control this behaviour increasingly well, simply by being aware of it and reassuring myself that the situation I am in is not actually life-threatening.
Today I am seriously happy. I was faced with a typical 'catastrophising' situation where I had to take a new and unfamiliar route in heavy traffic to my destination. I reacted calmly and simply did not have a panic attack. It was totally amazing and I still feel elated several hours later. This course has been incredibly releasing and inspiring for me. I still have a way to go with motivation but am taking it one day at a time and feeling so uplifted most days. Thank you for releasing me from the prison of my thinking!
This has been a truly enlightening experience for me. I have had bouts of depression for 50 years and this is the first time I have seen light at the proverbial 'end of the tunnel' . So much excellent practical advice, delivered kindly and gently. I now have that wonderful, AMAZING feeling that I can be in control of my life. I have started volunteering and am sharing your wisdom with my friends and particularly my children and grandchildren in the hope that they will have a better platform from which to view the negative experiences of life. It has been life changing. THANK YOU to you and all of the team. I am going to share this BIG TIME."
