The GETaHead programme at Lian has been very beneficial for me, particularly because I connected well with Lian. At times, I found recovering from PCS quite lonely and often felt that no one really understood how I felt; Lian did. She also showed me how my attitude of “I have to get better as soon as possible, I’ll do anything for that” was actually hindering my recovery.
Through the GETaHEAD mentor conversations with Lian, I learned to be kinder to myself and to set boundaries with others. Although I have not yet fully recovered from my PCS symptoms, thanks to these conversations, I have gained more confidence in my recovery. Lian is honest, compassionate and, when necessary, a little strict, but always in a justified way. If you are struggling with PCS symptoms, I can wholeheartedly recommend her guidance.
