Frequently Asked Questions
 
Q: There are very few approaches for ME/CFS and I'm finding it hard to know which one is right for me. What are the important things I need to consider in order to choose the right approach for me?

A: That's an intelligent question and because you need an unbiased answer, I won't answer it myself. However, you may find the following exercise helpful to your decision making process:

Imagine if you will, that you are lost deep in woodlands somewhere. It's dark and scary, the shadows and noises are playing tricks on your mind and you feel scared and stuck. If you could only make one phone call for help, how would you know who to ring?

When I ask people this question they say, "that's easy". You would know intuitively on a gut level who you would call. I get answers like, "I'd call someone who knows the woods like the back of their hand. I could describe my surroundings and they would know exactly where I am because they've been there and can direct me step by step to safety."

Questions you may want to ask yourself when choosing the right approach for you are:

  • Whether you prefer a person-centred independent consultant or someone working for a larger impersonal therapy business franchise.
  • Does the therapist have only a clinical map/understanding of the illness, or have they actually experienced ME/CFS themselves.
  • Is the therapist experienced - some advertise that the 'process' they use has helped thousands of people, however that doesn't actually mean that they have personally helped thousands of people, so ask them about 'their' experience and success rate.

I often ask course participants what the deciding factor was that helped them choose the Energy Excellence Course. Here's the most common answer I get:

"I did extensive Internet research and spoke to a number of therapists who offer courses for ME/CFS, most of them seem to operate under some kind of restrictive franchise and had not actually had the illness themselves. I chose you because you're an independent consultant, your track record and the amount of people you've helped to overcome this illness and the key factor that made the difference for me was that you had had ME/CFS yourself. I knew from the first time I spoke with you that you understood exactly where I was coming from."
