Responding to Diagnosis

When patients get a major medical diagnosis, many describe it as being like hitting a brick wall at high speed. Everything that was safe, trustworthy and comforting yesterday in an instant becomes frighteningly unstable!

The effect is a cascade of destructive emotions including fear, anxiety, anger, depression and guilt. These often then progress into sleep problems and difficulty evaluating choices in treatment. An additional risk here is that the diagnosis itself becomes the major stressor and even eventually turn into a self-fulfilling prophesy.

A key part of any recovery programme is addressing what the patient does in their own head, and this is what this App offers; a simple easy way for you, or someone you love, to nurture your own belief in your body, to take charge of your own emotional world and recover your essential sense of well-being. It takes just 20 minutes.
