Helping yourself feel better can be a really useful skill. 

 

There are lots of ways you can help yourself feel a bit better, or cope with having treatment (even if you still feel a bit worried about it). It can also be helpful in other situations where you feel worried or nervous.

​

You should think about what options you would like to try before you go - you might even want to practice them first. It can be helpful to tell your parent/carer and the person doing your treatment what you prefer.

 

You should also think about what treatment you need – will you be able to use the option you’ve chosen?

We have given you some ideas below that you might like to try, and we have made some lists of different types of treatment and which options would work better at these appointments.
