What's the point in having workshops like this for carers and not sufferers! Surely it's like putting the cart before the horse. How is my husband going to manage MY obsessive compulsive tendencies! Surely that should be coming from me and workshops to be aimed at me!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more with the comment above. We sit going through hell and back waiting for any long-term therapy, so maybe workshops like these would be helpful in the interim.
