In Conversation With: Anthony Fidler, HeartTouch

HeartTouch: Embodied Mindfulness & Connection for Wellbeing and Resilience. ISPS UK is pleased to host an immersive evening with Anthony Fidler, Director of HeartTouch Wellbeing CIC, exploring his personal recovery journey and how this led to the development of the HeartTouch approach.

Anthony was quite critical of the care he received in 2001 and this led him to exploring alternative approaches to recovery. Now he is interested in supporting positive change, promoting deeper understanding of the states humans can enter and how we can work through them and finding gentler ways to help people recover where possible.

Drawing on over 25 years of lived experience, Anthony will share practical principles of the approach and lead an experiential exercise to allow participants to better understand the approach. This will be followed by a structured conversation with ISPS UK trustees Simon Downer and Harry Dyson, followed by audience questions and discussion.

This event is intended for anyone interested in learning about new approaches to supporting people experiencing ‘psychosis’ and overwhelming mental and emotional states.

What is HeartTouch? HeartTouch is a practical way of cultivating embodied mindfulness through presence, simple practices and compassionate human connection. It is an unravelling process in which habitual patterns of stress, trauma and protection gradually soften as we rediscover a sense of safety, embodiment and compassionate human connection with ourselves and others.
