let s go. in a secluded corner of this gateshead park, nhs key workers are letting out the tension built up over the pandemic months. physically exhausted. er. when i go home, i can t even talk about work. i just like to switch off. so it s been nice todayjust to get away from all the pressures at work, to take time for myself which i haven t done for i don t know how long. keep doing your chanting. it doesn t matter if it sounds ridiculous! the one day respite sessions, organised by the peer run recoco mental health charity, offer a chance to shout, dance and drum away stress. some of the activities and exercises you ll have seen that we re doing, they look a bit daft, you know, but it works! it helps people kind of shake stuff off. it helps people realise what s going on in their body, where they re holding stress. chants: i am enough, i am enough. -
