Summary
Bård attended a three-day Lightning Process course about eight months after falling ill, and says he "declared myself healthy after the first day." He had been unable to work for about a year after his last working day in October 2015, following a burnout triggered by mononucleosis, with severe fatigue, anxiety and cognitive problems, saying "so many functions are missing that I lose track of conversations." He gradually resumed work five weeks after the course, describing renewed joy, better sleep and "the gift of life again." His GP labeled it a situational psychological imbalance rather than a formal ME diagnosis, though he draws comparisons to ME/CFS-type fatigue. He reports that symptoms "turn up sometimes" and that he continues practicing the new ways of thinking the course taught him.
