Catching up after last post

[chloe40]

Since my last post, I received an appointment to see the ICU Psychologist. I really didn't want to go back to hospital as you'll appreciate, she offered a telephone consultation which I accepted.

Yesterday was my first session and was I given a list of exercises and Mindfulness audios to listen to before next weeks session.

I was offered 6 appointments in all, which is wonderful and I feel confident this will be helpful.

I mentioned ICUsteps and how supportive you have all been, she recommends this to many patients and was so pleased to have spoken with a patient who uses this.

Thank you all so much.

that’s good news - I found them very helpful too - you maybe able to negotiate some extra sessions by the way ( towards your last appointment)

Thank you for that tip!

I too did not desire to return to hospital. In reality it is going via A&E that I don’t want to do. I had 11 sessions of CBT on zoom which helped tremendously. I would have liked to reach out and touch!

Yes, A&E was very traumatic for me too and I was admitted 3 times, so the same route too.

Best wishes to you
