Dr Colette Soan kindly offered to lead this session looking at what we can learn from research, pandemics and each other.
Dr Soan works as an educational psychologist in a local authority and as a lecturer at The University of Birmingham. She has had two SCADs and a diagnosis of FMD.
She discussed the research about SCAD and wellbeing, along with the impact of the pandemic. She talked about both post-traumatic stress and post-traumatic growth and what that may mean to us as a group.
We also discussed
- What the Beat SCAD Cardiac Rehabilitation survey tells us about the need for psychological support after SCAD.
- How Beat SCAD Buddies can help SCAD patients
