2 Weeks after the Energy Excellence
Course:
Hi Amir,
I just wanted to say thank you so
much for teaching me the skills I need to recover,
I'm going great since the course :D
Before coming on the Energy Excellence
Course I was optimistic but still very sceptical
a 3 day course could sort me out (but I was so wrong).
There have been many positives to
tell you about in the last two weeks I'm not sure
what to choose!
One huge improvement for me was after the second
session with you in Swansea, when I went home and
washed and dried my hair without assistance! I found
myself singing and really enjoying myself, it has
been 3 years since I last did this!
By the last session my confidence
was creeping back and I was chatting, smiling and
even volunteered for the demonstration in front
of the group (not sure I would have even done that
before I was ill ). I made some amazing friends
whilst in Swansea and it was great not being scared
to talk to new people! My mum even said that's the
most animated and happy she's seen me in a long
time!
Going back home I have felt like a different person,
I am smiling and full of energy and can keep up
with my two year old sister for the first time!
Last week I managed my first long
and successful shopping trip into town. I had a
lot of fun trying on clothes and even made a decision
on what to buy, I would have panicked and left with
nothing 3 weeks ago! Instead there I was in one
shop for so long my boyfriend got bored and went
off to shop by himself hehe! There was no stress,
no overheating and no anxiousness! YAY!
I feel young and alive again! Thank you so much
for giving your time to help us all, my life has
changed so much already!

Update: 8 weeks after the
Energy Excellence Course
Hi Amir,
It's now been 8 weeks since I finished the course
with you and Aliya, and it has been life changing
for me. I am now able to get up at 8.30 every morning
and start my day with breakfast and not lunch!
Also not only can I wash and dry my
hair with no assistance but I can now have standing
up showers, it's great!
In week 3 my family had a bit of a
crisis, but I handled it very well and even managed
to go and stay with my poorly nan for 4 days to
look after her. I handled the responsibility fine
and had time by myself to really put into practice
what you'd taught me - before the Energy Excellence
Course there's no way I could have gone away to
look after myself, let alone my nan!
I have found some surprising new hobbies
since recovering, one is (unfortunately for my bank
balance).. shopping, and two - I have a new found
love for cleaning! Interestingly, I find cleaning
really relaxes me so I'm happy to get stuck in (think
my parents love it), plus I've got two cleaning
jobs as a result :D
I am also volunteering once a week
at my little sisters nursery, and I absolutely love
it, I'm working up to going part time in September
- very exciting :D
I have had lots of support and encouragement
over the last 8 weeks and have particularly loved
sharing my journey with Louise who was also on the
course, it has been great to share our progress
with each other, and ultimately I have gained a
best friend :D
I am so grateful for you and Aliya
for helping me and my sister to get well, thank
you!
Holly
