Thank you! A great start to coming back to work!

Sharing opinions and thoughts

Discovering I was not the only one thinking and feeling what I do

The way the day was put together

Breathing techniques

No pressure felt during group exercises

Opening my mind to new ways of thinking

Being told it's OK to feel sad, angry, scared and glad

Learning how to actively encourage people to feel their feelings

Time to reflect

Becoming excited about new ways to understand why I behave as I do

Everyone having to be become involved and therefore creating a very open forum

Reflecting what I think I know about others is just my beliefs about what they say or do

The set-up was relaxed and made it easy to listen

Honesty is OK

Knowledge that self-belief is what is really going to get you out of a pile of shit

Small group interaction and discussion

Thinking about what's going on beneath the surface

Confidence in my ability

Not to shy away from admitting I'm panicking

Honesty with myself

I'm a fixer and I don't like to see others in emotional pain

I'm quite uncomfortable with certain styles; I felt like a child and didn't want to talk!

Make time for feelings and for those important to us

The need for honesty and respect for my feelings from ME!

Honesty can be liberating if prepared to take the risk

Much of my avoidance is driven by fear

Not being too hard on myself

History won't repeat itself unless you let it

It is OK not to happy/positive all the time

Take time to think and give time to think without intrusion
