Managing flare-ups

Flare-ups are part of many different health conditions. From EDS to back pain, eczema to autoimmune conditions, crohn’s disease to arthritis; flare-ups can appear at any time and make getting on with life difficult.

Doctors can often help with the practical side of things but people rarely talk about the emotional challenge of having your life tipped sideways on a regular basis. This is why we’ve created Mindfulness for Flare-ups.

Building emotional resilience

Building emotional resilience against flare-ups can help make it easier to get on with enjoying life when the next flare-up comes around. Mindfulness meditation has been shown to build emotional resilience by increasing activity in the areas of the brain responsible for emotional self-regulation.

This course teaches mindfulness meditation, focussed on dealing with different parts of experiencing a flare-up from intrusive symptoms to feeling overwhelmed.

Made by people who experience flare-ups

The course was written and recorded by Georgia Bondy (sometimes known as George Lou Bon). Georgia lives with flare-ups caused by Multiple Sclerosis and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. The course has been improved by user testers who also experience a range of different flare-ups. Georgia is also a qualified meditation instructor with an MSci in Brain, Behaviour & Cognition (and chemistry).
