Manchester Improvers 28-30 Nov Feedback

Hi all, it was great to you meet you and spend some time with you at the workshop this weekend. I hope you got what you were looking for out of it and wish you continued success in the future - it's heartening to see the change in peoples' outlook over such a short timeframe and well done for making the step of booking on to start with. Maybe we'll see a few you of you again soon too...... :-)

Great thanks Mert. Even though I only attended half of it I felt back on track again! It was encouraging to see those who had attended previous workshops in a very positive frame of mind and obviously finding them worthwhile. I realise they are a great committment from those of you who run them. All I can say is please keep them going, they are truly appreciated.

Thank you Mert, Andrew and all other participants.
It was a good weekend among nice people.
Again i improved as expected, in small steps.
When i add all my small steps together, and look back to before i ever did a workshop, i can say it's already becoming a "giant" step!
I definitly continue working on it!

Great to meet such a supportive group of guys (and girls)- Some significant progress and excellent coping strategies- Feel now that there might actually be a light at the end of the tunnel- Thanks to all.

I was not looking forward to this course, but am I glad I went now. It is a must for anybody who has done the beginners course to re-focus your mind and continue desensing. There were many things, hints and tips I had forgotten about.

Thanks to all the friends I met and made on the course, we are a great bunch of people from all walks of life. Hopefully see you again soon.

Hi - thank you Andrew, Mert and Jan for the workshop, this support makes so much difference to me. I would really recommend these workshops to anyone with AP.

And to everyone who attended, it was nice meeting you all. And of course hearing the accordion players!!

Good luck to you all,
Jane

The accordion player was truly awful but the workshop was incredibly supportive and progressive. It's just amazing how isolated AP sufferers feel until they find out that they're not alone and that there are lots of people out there facing exactly the same challenges. Having tried just about all the other solutions over a very long period of time I knew that somewhere I needed to make contact with others just like me. The Manchester workshop was the defining place. The weekend proved to me that there is light at the end of a very long tunnel, I managed to do things that I hadn't been able to do for 35 years. I would strongly urge anyone to give it a go. You'll find that you are amongst a lot of very understanding friends. A big thanks to Andrew and Mert and all my other fellow travellers.
