What a pile of shit. Trying to make you feel better about coping with your disabilities rather than getting you to 100% recovery which will automatically make you feel better about yourself. Solve the correct problem you blithering idiots.

Abstract: Study assessed acceptability of training in positivity with Positive Mental Training (PosMT), a guided self-help audio, for prevention and management of post-stroke psychological problems and to help with coping with rehabilitation. A modified PosMT tool consisted of 12 audio tracks each lasting 18 minutes, one listened to every day for a week. Ten stroke survivors and 5 caregivers from support groups in the United Kingdom were asked to listen for 4 weeks, but could volunteer to listen for more. Interviews took place about experiences of the tool after 4 and 12 weeks. Three stroke survivors did not engage with the tool. The remainder reported positive physical and psychological benefits including improved relaxation, better sleep and reduced anxiety after four weeks. Survivors who completed the program gained a positive outlook on the future, increased motivation, confidence and ability to cope with rehabilitation. No adverse effects were reported. PosMT shows potential as a tool for coping with rehabilitation and overcoming post-stroke psychological problems including anxiety and depression.
