“I was able to talk about my pain and fears and anxiety.  Gwen was very understanding.  She listened keenly and then counselled me on how to react to the problems.  Breathing helps a lot especially the deep breathing which releases a lot of the anxiety.  Also to look beyond the pain and see myself well, to picture myself in a peaceful environment.  Also to relax and center my mind on the pain and listen to what it is saying.”  A.H.
