Taking the first step to recovery | Sally 01 | In Therapy with Alex Howard

[@marciachristen9230]

Thank you so much for sharing this. Thank you Sally for being willing to share your journey! It really means a lot! I'm wondering OHC staff, do people need to be in a certain stage of healing to be able to start the recovery journey? Like how do you get from the crashing stage and barely functioning to doing this...? just curious. (Mom of a daughter with CFS0

I'd be interested to read the reply to your questions :-) There are many living with me/cfs who are struggling to function on a basic day to day level.

If you look on the Optimum Health Clinic’s website, at the bottom you will see details of their individual psychology programme which can be done over phone/skype according to your limitations, and with access to the brilliant secrets to recovery website videos, which is what I did. You can watch videos then at your own pace. The clinic offers free 15 min initial consultation to discuss.

Hi Marcia - The path is different for everyone (and everyone starts at a different level of severity) - take a look out our Recovery Stories playlist to hear from some of the patient experiences. There's no one set of rules for the timing or order of some of the stages of recovery, but our goal is to have a big picture idea and make tiny everyday steps or new habits to get into a little bit better place to heal, one day at a time. You can find out more about our approach at www.theoptimumhealthclinic.com

It would be helpful to know what meditation she was doing to soothe her nervous system. You are courageous Sally.

Looking forward to following Sally's progress! Thanks for putting yourself out there. I've been following you for a while Alex, and I find the videos beneficial for my own journey. I've been thinking for a while to ask if you could make a video on the stop process?

[@AlexHowardTherapy]

We describe the STOP process in full in the 90 day programme and the RESET programme if you want to check those out - Thanks for watching and following along!

Thanks to you both. Wish I had known there was people being taken on for this, I would have definitely signed up. As I am completely stuck

Sally, by the time your report about the vet conference where you won the reward, you already look so refreshed. It's wonderful, especially since that event could easily have been a big obstacle. Good for you. You're an inspiration.
