Summary
1. Successful over a wide range of challenges
Participants reported positive improvement and effectiveness across a range of issues and expectations including mental and physical health issues, work problems, family worries and meaning/spiritual health.
“I do feel much more energy to tackle issues at home and at work and prevaricate much less than before.”
2. Improved Emotional Strength
Above average score were recorded for ‘feeling confident’, ‘feeling relaxed’, ‘feeling good about myself’ and ‘interested in new things’.
“An improvement in my levels of anxiety. I feel I am able to trust and let go more, with perhaps less attachment to outcomes. I am also less concerned with the need for approval from others.”
3. Increased Overall Wellbeing
Using a standard wellbeing questionnaire, the total average score of participants increased from 50 out of 70 at the start of the programme to 56 at the end.
“I am more at ease with who I am. I am also more able to acknowledge my successes and not just my perceived ‘failures’.”
