I'm Lauren. The sports car - check. The flying all over the world for work - check. The thinking the next thing I achieve would make me happy - check. Fibromyalgia - check. I'm also following the RESET program and, after watching this video, I canceled my gym membership. I also quit my job at the end of 2018 to start my own consultancy (which comes with its own challenges, naturally) and I'm dealing with the unknown of being a startup a whole lot better than I was dealing with being employed and am much happier than I have been for a very long time.
I did a course with your company 5 years ago, a year before I got an official diagnosis from the NHS that I have got CFS. I recognise the room you are filming in. I went through a divorce last year so I related very much with Lauren's relationship problems. I got rid of my lazy selfish husband so that I could concentrate on myself and my 2 children. I've had a relapse so searched on UA-cam for Alex Howard to see if there was any fresh material. Soooo glad I did. I'm loving these interviews, they've made me cry buckets. Truly inspirational, I'm very grateful for these free realife therapy sessions as I'm able to relate to all of the patients and am taking much from them. Feel more hopeful I'll get out of this relapse. I truly admire all that are participating and sharing their stories you are a true inspiration. Thank you Alex Howard from Kate of Dorking, your old stomping ground (I read your book) x
My husband has stuck with me through this cfs hell for 22 years now. He has to go do things on his own without me. I don't know why but he sticks with me and says he will not leave even tho the person he married no longer exists physically. We have been through some extremely hard times, I have been in some very dark places, and yet he has never even intimated once that he wanted to leave. Cfs has such a huge impact on personal lives, unless you have lived it, you could never understand how huge it is in so many negative ways. It is a terrible condition, u r like the living dead, thank you Alex for all you do - amazing !!
What a lovely girl! I could see her struggling and the effort in her body, that’s a lot of stairs for someone with CFS! Sorry he couldn’t be there and step up for you during your illness
Me too! Me too! Me too! I relate to so many things that Lauren shared and is going though - so I feel immensely grateful for this session. Lauren - you are a strong, brave soul for offering yourself in this way and I feel so deeply grateful. I cannot wait for the next session. Oh, and the production was AMAZING ! Wow, you guys are really upping your game :)
"I´m at about 10% there when it comes to self-love" - well put Lauren, me too! I´m super excited to be joining you on the journey towards the 100%. Thanks so much for sharing - my lack of self-worth prevented me from sending in my video, so you´re definitely ahead ;-)
This is a brilliant idea, and I look forward to watching the entire series! This is a gift for everyone who is striving to be a better version of themselves. Thank you for taking the time to do this!
Ayurveda says Pragnyaparadha which is crime against wisdom- we disconnect and do not listen to our body even though it is constantly trying to communicate with us. We are constantly looking for external validation to make us happy but I guess what makes us happy is within us. Thank you for this video 🙏
This was excellent, looking forward to the next one! It’s like a top up of the things I’ve learned from therapy except it’s free haha. Also the production value was good as well 👌
Thank you, Lauren, for sharing your therapeutic journey - this is enormously helpful to those who are in similar situations, as well as to the therapeutic community. Much appreciation to you, Alex for making this possible.
Thank you for this - sharing on this level is very helpful. That its been artfully done, is also something that allows me to flow with it and glean things that are not just stated verbatim. Seeing Lauren navigate the stairs, for instance, gave me the immediate sense that I've been there - that she has been experiencing something I have, and honestly, was moving to a degree that surprised me. Isolation as a result of this health issue causes one to rarely see others with it and therefore it creates a sense of relief, recognition and perhaps a deeper sense of getting in touch with my own feelings regarding the illness, that I might otherwise suppress. Many thanks to you both - Lauren for your courage and generosity in sharing for the benefit of others and Alex, for your expertise and attitude as a counselor - you obviously get it and its sparks hope. Also thank you for conceiving this format - big Yes and Yay!
Loved this and salute your courage Lauren. I had tears throughout. I am struggling with my life after a sudden and potentially serious condition and it changed me. I can't find myself anymore and have withdrawn from my longterm relationship. I am 75this month. Lauren at 38 you inspire me. Your compassion Alex was beautiful to see.
I love Lauren's openness and interest in changing. Her trust in you is apparent, and her ability to communicate clearly and with perspective is extremely valuable for me, viewing the video. I would love to see more of how you worked with her when she could not 'speak' and how you drew her out into accepting how deeply the break up of her relationship was painful. Thank you!!
Great work Alex (and Oliver!) loved the format and how you Alex gave context upfront and then how we got background from Lauren before you met face to face. Loved how you walked down the hall into the room to meet Lauren and the shot of the outside of the clinic and the OHC sign -it made it very relatable and real. Thanks for your openness and candour Lauren. With so many similarities to myself, watching this was a timely reminder of the need to be kind to oneself and pace - at a time when our resilience is being truly tested with the implications of Covid 19. Thank you, looking forward to the next one.
This is awesome-loved her vulnerability re relationships. You are providing a great service, Alex, thank you so much and am looking forward to more! 💖 Ps: great quality also re filming , set-up, etc.👍👍
I absolutely love what you’re doing Alex! It’s so real, I could actually resonate with Lauren’s situation. Please continue this series. Would love to see the rest of it! ♥️
Great video! I've been a social worker for the past 16 years and just started my private practice (www.strongspirit.org) a couple of months ago. Videos like this are very helpful for practitioners, encouraging and inspiring. Thank you for your great work and props to Lauren for her courage and strength.
That was awesome, Alex. I really enjoyed the presentation, and the session itself. So many good points were touched upon, both by yourself, and by Lauren; and the way Oliver pieced everything together with the music and the the changing scenery, made for a very pleasing formulation. Also, I must say, I liked the casual conversational approach to the way therapy was conducted, as well as the vulnerability and openness on Lauren's side. This turned out very well. Great going!
Hi Alex! This is a fantastic series. The only thing I would request is - if it’s at all possible - if you could provide subtitles (in English). It would be helpful for us who are not native english speakers and for the hard of hearing. I think it could help even more people this way. Thank you again for what you’re doing. It’s so important!
Hi Jonatan, thanks for the feedback. I just checked out the closed captions that are auto-generated by UA-cam (click/tap CC), and they're pretty accurate. Let me know if you find that helps.
This was sooo useful to watch, could relate to so much of it. Thanks. Just one technical/design issue for me was that right at the beginning section when Lauren was talking (at home etc) I couldn't really hear what she was saying because the music was too loud. Maybe because her voice was recorded on phone so not so clear so music drowned it out a bit for me. Going to find part 2 now...!
Hi K N, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the feedback. The audio should be balanced a bit better in future episodes but let me know if you still encounter it. Thanks!
Wow, felt like I was listening to my self in some of that, stuff with relationships, eating disorders, and I also don’t like the word self love! Thanks for sharing
Fabulous transparency and honesty...So much courage in being willing to open up in this way, Lauren, so we all can see ourselves in aspects of your experiences and learn. Thank you for this thought provoking episode!
I love her honesty and love the way you let her explain she is intelligent and a good soul I feel ..I watched some of your later ones and now found this one ..I am hooked ..LIKE TO WATCH SOME SILLY STUFF TOO TO GROUND ME SO I DON'T GET TOO OBSESSED ...A lot to take in and as you say we can see parts of our self in some of these people ..we all suffer from the human condition our childhood and our culture .
How wonderfully brave! For both of you! It really was helpful to see Lauren being vulnerable and brave all at the same time and it’s a healthy space to be in. Well done.
Love the therapy session. I have done decades of therapy and love observing someone else with you as her therapeutic coach. Keep up the good work. I will always stay tuned.
This is excellent. Thank you Lauren for being vulnerable. I really related to the body image and the way our bodies can keep going and supporting us for so long even when we are not caring for ourselves. I too have a history of eating disorders and being disconnected from my body's needs and am working on this. Produced well. Thank you so much!! Will there also be more of the Therapeutic Teusdays coming out? Those are also helpful.
Thank you Carolynn, so glad you found helpful. There may well be some more Therapeutic Tuesdays in the original format at various points, but this is our new focus to allow us to go deeper into the stories and lessons :-)
@@AlexHowardTherapy Thank you Alex. Going deeper is so helpful. Honestly anything you do to help share experiences is extremely meaningful. Your work (and all of the people who are willing to share their experiences) is inspirational.
Hi, Alex. Just watching this for the first time. Just became aware of your work from online RESET intro. A comment on English--and this is so funny, because about a million years ago I majored in British Civilization in college--but it's very difficult to understand Lauren at times because of her accent. I notice you slow down and enunciate, so almost no difficulty following you--but Londoners really crank those words out fast! I've had to back up and listen quite a few times to make out what she's saying. I'm in Maryland, USA, BTW. Maybe you can get a Northerner to do a session; they have a slowed-down drawl that makes it easier for us Yanks to follow. Isn't it funny that in GB the accent is slower in the north, and in USA it's slower in the south? I find the format very engaging, and nothing about the production that is in any way distracting from the session. Good job.
Hi Alex I was wondering if you are taking on new people for this series? I'm 27, have been chronically ill since age 16. Primarily housebound for all that time. Have never lived anywhere other than my parents house. I have had chronic pain in the form of IBS and perineal neuralgia through to now having CFS for the last 7.5 years (I've managed to effectively put the neuralgia in remission). I live in a house with an abusive step mother, no love or support around me and I'm floundering. I really feel my story would be very interesting to people but at the same time I'm desperate to find a way forward in my life before it's too late. I've never had that amazing life that Lauren speaks of before her crash. I had a few weeks of fun between leaving school and going to sixth form and then my world collapsed. Alex
That sounds tough! I hope your in a better place now! It’s worth exploring knowing more about the nervous system, it’s the missing link for many with chronic health disorders. I recommend Deb Dana, polyvagal theory, the body struggles to heal when the nervous system is constantly ramped up! The Body Says No Gabor Mate is good to, it all get locked in the body! Empower and learn!
Thank you for continuing to pursue your mission, Alex. This session was valuable on many levels. My only preference would be that you avoid coarse language. I've heard loads of it, but here it somehow cheapens the experience.
It's hard not to self isolate when the pain and lack of energy barely allows you to do some of the things you actually need to do. And I hate when I end up taking up half or even more of the time with a friend just answering their caring questions about how I am doing, etc. so it's easier to avoid it and hope that by the time you do talk with them you have better news.
It is sad to see how some partners go it does sadden that the world in general is a bit selfish... (I feel I've had a lot of people leave me to..) Anyhow, Ii've really enjoyed this video; it went from just a hand held live video on low pixel to now fully edited series with well thought out interview... If it is possible for you all to keep it up please do! I can't say how much more insightful this was...
I appreciate the work that has gone into making these videos. Unfortunately I was not able to continue watching as I am extremely uncomfortable with listening to swear words that are completely unnecessary. The English language has many ways to express feelings and using swear words is just lazy and offensive
Sorry the videos are not for you Serena. I appreciate different people have different preferences, but this series is about being real, and for some people being more relaxed around language is what is real for them. We have no plans to change this, so better you avoid this series if it is triggering for you.
That was not a good reply ,you are going for abroad àudians of all ages and peruasens so people,s pursuance should be considered. Like I said this is a program for the future.Good work best of luck.
@@lorrainenaidoo6144 Thanks for your comment. Actually I'm not necessarily going for a broad audience - some people will connect with my personality and style, other won't - that really is OK for me! It is more important for me to be authentic on this channel that it is to necessarily have mass audience :-)
I tried watching this but when the swear words started to be used I had to stop. They trigger having my husband scream swear words into my face. They trigger an icky, ugly feeling of trauma. Sorry, Alex. I have watched a bunch of your things and they do speak to me about trauma, but it would be nice if this was a swear word free zone. 😢
Just found your channel 4 years later, think I found a gem. I look forward to seeing a video a day. thank you so much

What is an incredibly brave lady to share like she has done I don’t think she realises how much that has helped so many of us overachievers x
