LTC Boom and Bust Cycle for people with a Long Term Condition
In this video we look at the boom-and-bust cycle, what it is and why it might not be helpful for us. Living with a long-term physical health condition can often mean we can’t do things how we used to or the way we want to.
Sometimes we can end up caught in an unhelpful cycle of negative moods and physical symptoms which can result in us doing less and feeling unhappy or frustrated. During this video, we have a look at this cycle in a bit more detail so we can understand it better.
