Frequently asked questions
Do I need to talk in depth about my history
Some people choose to share background, others prefer a lighter focus on skills. Both approaches receive respect and the work adapts.
Is relaxation training suitable if I feel “too wound up” to relax
Many people arrive with that concern. We start with very small steps, often seated and with eyes open, and move at a pace that feels workable.
Does this approach fit alongside medication or other therapies
Relaxation work often complements medical treatment and talking therapies. Your existing supports remain central.
