11:30 - 11:50 Simon Pimenta
Simon will show that when you identify a stressor, you can move from limiting to resourceful responses, by following three steps:
1. Connect
The first step is to connect to the wise part of you. This wise part takes care of the part of you that operates from fear. Simon will do a demonstration of how to connect to the wise part of you. The wise part of you can compassionately make sense of the situation, so that you can move to step 2.
2. Choose
The second step is to assess the situation, so that instead of responding unconsciously and automatically to stimuli, you can consciously choose resourceful responses.
3. Create
The third step is to create and cultivate new responses, that with practice, can become your new, default responses.

About Eleanor Stein MD, FRCP(C):
As a medical specialist in psychiatry, Dr. Stein has dedicated her practice to ME/CFS, FM and ES since 2000 (and more recently Long COVID). She got into this field after she herself developed ME/CFS, FM and MCS in 1989. Her health symptoms limited her ability to work and function every day for over 28 years.
After decades of trying everything imaginable, in 2017, many of the symptoms, including disabling fatigue, lifted. She says "I think I finally 'got it right' for my body. My life now is very full with work, connection and travel. It bears little resemblance to the careful, limited life I led for decades."
Dr. Stein is now dedicated to sharing what she has learned via live webinars and online courses. Many of her patients and students of her courses are seeing significant improvements and are living better lives. So it's not just her - the tools work. And they may help you. By teaching you what she has learned, she hopes your pathways to pain-free living will be faster than hers.
About Simon Pimenta
Prior to developing ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia, Simon had been doing a job he enjoyed, working with men with mental health problems and histories of homelessness. After taking on a managerial role, in 1997, he developed ME/CFS and fibromyalgia and was unable to work for the next 9 years. Initially, he spent a lot of the time barely living, feeling extremely fatigued and at times was unable to walk for one minute. Doctors didn't have any answers.
In May 2005 he learned mind/body techniques, learning how to use brain training and other techniques to activate the body’s healing state, and started his path to recovery. He got back to working full time and playing sport.
Today he is a trained Hypnotherapist and Coach, created the Building Resilience course and teaches people the techniques that helped him. 16 years on, his mission is to help people overcome health challenges, by helping them tap into their innate wisdom and healing potential, seeing people make progress and get back to full health.
