Living with Fibromyalgia.......
‘Counselling with cake’ by Heart 2 Hart Solutions is a unique concept of educational group therapy designed for those who are struggling to manage life with a chronic medical condition. The group offers educational and emotional support which is coupled with the power of the group dynamic, where shared experiences in a safe environment are encouraged as part of the therapeutic process. Also unique as an ice-breaker is the inclusion of cake, which symbolises the bonding process of the group, representing what has been helpful and thought-provoking as well as becoming part of the therapy process for those who choose to embrace a more creative approach. *
Our first series of monthly meet-ups Living with fibromyalgia has been running since February 2019.With the emphasis on educational support and group empowerment we are pleased to say this pilot scheme is showing considerable improvements in the quality of life of those attending, and more projects supporting those living with a chronic medical condition are planned for 2020.
This concept has the support of occupational and physiotherapy health care professionals, as well as associated companies supporting employees who wish to manage their condition better at home and in the workplace. Currently there is currently nothing comparable to offer 'Living with fibromyalgia' patients in South Wales.
If you are interested in attending any future groups please register your interest on the contacts page. The cost per person, per monthly session is £35.
*Whilst cake is regarded as part of the concept, we are mindful there may be people who feel this isn’t an option for them. All dietry requirements and alternative options will be taken into account and included in the group meet-ups, in order to maintain the rationale behind the concept.
