Attending a follow up Workshop has been extremely helpful......perhaps more than words can express. There’s many elements that make it so special and I like to think my words apply to all those that attended it which themselves were just some of those that are well used to ‘putting up’ with the not so pleasant social difficulties of having AP. Therefore getting the opportunity to speak with others openly for a few days is just great and something that is just not normally doable in our everyday lives. Another big plus is really being with such a nice group of people If you had already been on a beginner’s workshop or are thinking about it just now don’t think about anymore because the best advice I can give you is to just ‘do it’ and secure yourself a place right now for the next one. And when you get there you will really wonder why you ever did (like me) worry so much about going to it because any initial worries you may have had a first melt away very very quickly indeed in the company of the others around you. The actual de sensing itself takes precedence – but how much you do, when & where is simply up to you and there is No pressure. I would say that it was really worthwhile weekend for me where I surpassed what I thought could have been achieved before turning up. I would like to say a huge massive thanks to arrangers and course leaders because they did a truly sterling job where we all continually felt that they were there for us to fully support us as individuals whatever rung of the ladder that we on.
