  13. Comments from the participants • ”Coming here has been without demands. You have learned to come to terms with yourself and to figure out what you need to change.” • ”The course gives an opportunity for discussions. An open and relaxed climate. 1.5 hours is about all that you can manage.” • ”I feel that I need time to reflect. Time for recovery. I think it will take some time for the stress to diminish.”
