Just a quick post to say the Follow-up Workshop in London at the weekend was great. Everyone was really friendly and I know it is a cliché but its true, it did kinda feel like a holiday. It is great to chat to people who have experienced the same thing and have a laugh at the same time. It was my third workshop and this time I feel I have absorbed a lot more information than on the previous two. My AP has always lessened by the end of every workshop I have been on but this time I understand why this happens, much better than I did before. It is clear to me that I personally have to practise, practise, practise, to get better. I have drawn up a comprehensive desense program (way more structured than before) and intend to stick to it until the next workshops comes round. In the past I’ve relapsed because I haven’t confronted it properly or with any real consistency. I quickly got out of the habit of fluid loading and didn’t go on proper desense sessions. I can see now that I have to treat my desense sessions at home the same way we do on the workshops. If I can do this 3 times a week I will be cured or as near to cured as I can get within 18 months. Thanks to Andrew, Colin and the rest of the gang. Good luck to everyone with the months ahead! All the best Ed
