Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Mrs. Bakker. Your GP mentioned you've been having panic attacks since the incident at work last month. Can you tell me a little about what's been happening?
Sinds het ongeluk met de heftruck op mijn werk voel ik me vaak duizelig en gaat mijn hart tekeer. Ik slaap ook slecht, soms maar een paar uur per nacht.
How often does this happen, and roughly how long have these panic attacks been going on? Are they affecting your sleep as well?
Het gebeurt ongeveer drie keer per week, meestal ’s avonds. Dit speelt nu al ongeveer zes weken, en ja, mijn slaap is er zeker door verstoord.
We can offer six sessions of cognitive behavioural therapy here at Ballarat Community Health. Each session would focus on managing anxiety and rebuilding confidence at work.
Zes sessies klinkt goed. Moet ik weer een verwijzing van mijn huisarts regelen, of kan ik gewoon hier beginnen?
You won't need another referral for these sessions, unless your GP wants to review your progress after the program finishes.
Oké, dat is fijn om te horen. Wanneer zou ik kunnen beginnen? Ik wil niet te lang wachten, want het wordt erger.
We could start next Thursday at ten o'clock, with each session lasting fifty minutes. Does that time work for you?
Donderdag om tien uur past me goed. Mag mijn man ook een keer meekomen naar een sessie?
You're welcome to bring a support person if you'd like, though it's not required for these sessions.
Dat is fijn, dan vraag ik hem om de eerste keer mee te gaan. Dank u wel, ik zie u donderdag.
