BBC Radio Manchester - Some thoughts from Val

"Well I'm two thirds of the way through my sessions with Peter Morgan and I'm really enjoying them. I can honestly say I am feeling the benefit already. People who know me have been telling me how much 'calmer' and more 'chilled' I am so that's got to be a good thing. 

In the past I have struggled with anxiety, taking on too much and worrying that I won't be able to get everything done in time. Since starting the Mindfulness training I have been able to focus on the here and now and not worry about the future (something none of us can control) or the past for that matter. Ruminating over what has gone is something that would have bothered me before. 

I have found it easier to relax and have actually been able to stop myself before taking on too much - something I have never been able to do previously. I'm really looking forward to our session today and telling Dr Morgan how I've been able to put the sessions into practice since we last met."
