I want to learn to let go of my anxieties and phobias - learn how to be a support for others here - and I hope that people will post successes and things that have helped them (especially in social situations) - and I hope that the Health Educators will help me see what I'm doing well, as well as offer suggestions as to how I can do things differently.
Sorry I didn't write in yesterday - I was scared to commit in case I failed at this!
Thank you, Ashley, for starting this. It means a lot to me.
Ok so I will have to settle with 4 members joining. Hopefully once we start posting discussion more members will get involved. The session walkthroughs will begin tomorrow!
Sign me up! Although I have gone through the whole program..I'm continuing to work on Exposures...it never hurts to go over things again, and maybe get some new insights from other members, and the professionals.
I would like to commit to you that I will participate in the weekly program discussions. I will do my best to ask discussion stimulating questions. I will be here to listen and support members.
• I would like all members to treat all other members and Health Educators with respect and non-judgment.
• I would like all members to try to remain positive about program content. Although we may hit roadblocks I would like all members to try to work through the program together and not to give up.
• I would like members to be careful not to offend other members but also to freely and genuinely discuss thoughts and feelings surrounding the program.
• I would like members to remain on topic of program content. If members would like to discuss other topics unrelated to the thread topic or program content then please create another thread to discuss these issues.
• I would also like members who have already gone through the program to feel free to share and commit here. It will be a good refresher!
I am looking forward to sharing this journey with you!
To offer our members optimum benefits of the Panic Centre Program; The Panic Centre team is now offering group program walkthroughs! Each week we will focus on one session in the program. Health Educators will ask questions and members will be free to answer, provide support to other members and discuss the session’s content.
Your Commitment
All members are free to stop by at any time but before we begin we would like to get a commitment from individual members to ensure that we have a good number of actively participating group members. The more engaged you are in the support group the more likely you will benefit from the program! If you can commit to doing one session per week and participating in the discussions weekly or even daily, please post your name in this forum. By posting here you are making a commitment to support your fellow members. We will not begin the program walkthrough until we get a commitment from at least five members so please commit now!
Designing our Alliance
In your commitment post you are also encouraged to write what expectations you have. By setting our expectations early we can ensure that all members get what they want out of our program walkthroughs. For instance, what would you like to get out of the group? How would you like other members to respond to you? What kind of support would you like to receive from Health Educators? These points will be open for discussion, a Health Educator will summarize agreed upon expectations before the beginning of the examination of Session One.
Members, this is a great opportunity to get the full benefits of the program so we highly encourage committing to the group and actively participating.
