You tell the world you are fine. You tell yourself you are coping. But inside you feel fragile and broken. You numb yourself to the pain. What more should you expect? This is just how life is now, isn’t it? Not necessarily.

Delivered as an online course, the ReConnected Life Taste of Recovery will provide you with all the essential tools so that you can begin or continue your healing journey. Through this guided self-help you will become empowered to have self-compassion, to rescue yourself from fear, and to build the foundations for your ReConnected Life.

These techniques are drawn from my years of one-to-one counselling, group therapy, psychiatric treatment, my coaching training, my neuro-linguistic programming skills, and my extensive reading over all the years of my recovery path. I’m confident your recovery path can be short-circuited, and that by applying these lessons you will feel more in control and on the way to feeling much better.

When we’re struggling with the every day, when we’re holding onto a lot of self-blame and shame, when we’re feeling at war with ourselves with the panic attacks and lack of sleep, even surviving can feel like an uphill struggle. We’re coping, but we’re coping by numbing our emotions and as we can’t selectively numb our emotions, we’re closing ourselves off to joy and laughter as well. We’re coping, but we’re coping by choosing to stay home, and not venture out where we might be unsafe, where others might judge us, where we can’t be in control our surroundings. We’re coping, but we’re frightened that one day we might not. We’re coping but we’re living a very narrow life.

You want more. I know I did. 

Rape does not need to be a life sentence.
Let me guide you to to the start of your ReConnected Life.

Taste of Recovery is an online mini-course, available in full from your learning portal from the moment you sign up.

In the past it was delivered daily over 3 weeks, and the videos refer to this, but you’ll have access to the whole programme from day one, with no time limit to complete it. You can dip in and out, follow in order, or even go backwards. Whatever is right for you. You’re in control. 

Each lesson is crafted to allow you to consume the material in easily-digestible snippets. No mini-class is longer than 20 minutes. You can watch or listen at your own pace, in your own comfort.

Love it! I’ve done all of the sessions now and there’s so much there that really resonates with me and which will be really helpful. I now need to go back through some of the videos and my notes and select, develop and practice.

‘HANNAH’

What I liked, and have since re-listened to bits of it, is that terms are explained, how the brain works etc so I understood more of what I was feeling how I reacted and acted. The listening was great for headphones and in the car on my own too to have privacy.
