Reclaim Your Life
A FIVE-WEEK WELLBEING COURSE FOR PEOPLE WITH LONG-TERM PHYSICAL HEALTH SYMPTOMS.
Your life is more important than your illness. Would you like it back? This five-week course will help you reclaim your life from long-term physical symptoms.
At base, it is all about understanding one truth: you are bigger than your problems. Those problems shouldn’t stop you doing things, experiencing things, loving, laughing, tasting and living life.
Reclaim Your Life will teach you to make changes to the way you think and act, creating a new relationship between you and your illness – one that helps separate who you are from what you’ve got. At each of the five sessions, you will learn new ways to respond when you are feeling ground down, frustrated or hopeless, and you will learn new skills that will help you tackle problems in your life.
In addition, we are offering two bonus sessions after each five-week course. Living With Chronic Pain will explain what chronic pain is, what influences it, and how you can help manage the impact it has on your life. Living Better With Chronic Conditions will help you to think more about your activity levels, with guidance to help improve your own health and wellbeing. The focus will be on small, realistic ways you can live better with your condition. Both bonus sessions are open to anyone, whether or not you have come to the rest of the Reclaim Your Life course.
