What do GPs who have experienced the course say about it?
"I like the balance of science evidenced based information to complete the meditation components.
"Was very helpful and gave me a broader understanding of what mindfulness is about. Helpful to put grounding with breathing/focussed attention into practice daily, as a way of stepping back and seeing the bigger picture. Journalling was helpful although found was difficult to do it on the computer, paper based was much easier. Good to be able to download the meditations. Your individual comments were insightful and very helpful! Thanks for taking the time out to respond! was pleasantly surprised! (esp. when you responded whilst trekking in NZ!) Thank you, very helpful and enjoyable."
"More awareness and appreciation of nature in my surroundings. Greater awareness of unhelpful thoughts and ability to reframe them."
"I really enjoyed this course as it helped me as well as helping my patients. I thought it was well presented and easy to engage with. I sometimes felt it a bit too slow but I think that I can now control this feeling and listen to my thoughts. I do not think there are any improvements and I am really grateful I found it as part of my Focused Psychological Therapies CPD updating."
"The course was well crafted and encouraging for developing a personal mindfulness practice."
"Loved the course. I feel I have learnt powerful skills to make my life and medical practice more meaningful.
I feel more engaged in consultations and have new treatment modalities for stress, chronic pain, anxiety."
"This was on my mindful walk I took last week as part of my renegagment with exercise and mindfulness. My PSS has improved in terms of my self compassion. I have again encouraged my patients to journal and be more structured and intentional in their own self care. It has been a very effective tool to remind myself to use more intentionally."
"Hi Lisa, I really enjoyed the course. Your voice is very relaxing. I noticed that I definitely need to slow down because there were several times that I checked to see if my airpods had stopped working, but it was just that you were taking a mindful pause. It helped me recognise how I try to do things on fast mode....Thank you for providing this course. I look forward to downloading some of the attachments and recommending this to patients."
