Video Blog: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome CFS – How the Clinic views Emotion

Welcome to this week’s video blog. We are rather excited to be releasing the first of a new series of videos filmed with our new camera, and the beginnings of our new set at OHC HQ! This video is with Anna (Director of Psychology) and Alex, talking about the role of emotions in CFS, ME and Fibromyalgia. Anna and Alex discuss why emotions can be such a key part of recovery, the place of components from treatments such as Reverse Therapy and Mickel Therapy (along with their limitations), and also why psychotherapy can be a factor in recovery, but can also sometimes become a distraction from what is most important.

For our second video of the week, we thought you may enjoy a recent interview Alex did for www.conscious.tv around Voice Dialogue. Although not strictly CFS or ME related, the interview is a fascinating insight into the different aspects of ourselves that can be impacting our experience.

We hope you enjoy, and please do comment on the videos with any questions or thoughts you may have!

Video Blog: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome CFS – Leaky Gut

Welcome to this week’s video blog. Our main video this week is with Sanna Anderson from out nutrition team talking about the role of Leaky Guy in CFS, ME and Fibromyalgia. For a subgroup of patients with CFS, this explains not only many of the digestive problems they can experience, but also can be the root of food intolerances and allergies. In the usual easy to understand OHC style, Alex and Sanna discuss what Leaky Gut is, what causes it, and what we can do about it.

Our second video clip is from our feature length documentary made in 2006, with Phill Hoskins talking about what it’s like to have energy again.

If you haven’t already ordered you free copy of the DVD, it is included in our information pack, and you can order it at: www.FreedomFromME.co.uk/newvisitor.html

Finally, Alex and Sanna are on the road doing talks in Manchester and Stockport on Thursday and Friday this week – for more information please visit www.FreedomFromME.co.uk/roadshow

Have a great week, and we look forward to speaking with you next week!
