Initially I self referred to the Condition Management Programme (CMP) from advice on work Dr as I had been suffering from multiple chronic conditions and stress at home and work. I felt like there was no one or nowhere to turn to until I met the lovely people at CMP who gently guided me to improve my physical and mental health.
They taught me easy but effective exercises to relieve my sore stresses joints and muscles and how and when to fit them into daily routine. Worked a lot on calming my mind and pacing my life. It put my life in perspective and what mattered to me the most. I was given loads of information on tips and aids to help my recovery and most importantly I felt listened to and the sessions were geared to my specific needs.
I’m still a work in progress but I feel encouraged to take more steps and progress myself now. I was made to feel that my needs, wants and decisions should be a priority for me, and that it was OK for them to be different to the popular norms. I now go to yoga and tai chi classes and frequently go for a swim. None of which I did before. I’m building resilience and stressing less. Life is so much better than it was.
