"I feel so much more confident"

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as the patient),

I have always been an anxious person,  always afraid of situations...the children hurting themselves, fear of accidents. Car journeys got to be traumatic. 

Then covid hit and I was very happy in my own bubble not having to drive much, even food shops were being delivered!  Then came normal... and it hit me... I was having panic attacks in the car... afraid of going anywhere too many people on the roads.

My kids wanting to go out I would talk them into doing something at home or get them to go with a friend. 

After feeling very low about absolutely everything in April I contacted my GP and was referred to inclusion. 
I started my sessions of CBT with Jade and at first was very sceptical...but over the weeks she gave me tools to help. I threw  myself into it and can not believe how it's worked!
7 months later I feel so much more confident and although I'm still a bit nervy in certain situations it's far better than it was. I've been on journeys and not panicked... I've taken my girls to London and actually enjoyed the day rather than stressing out and spoiling it for them. 
Thank you Jade for all your help and patience with me.

I can't recommend this enough.

Hi coinxt95,

Firstly thank you for taking the time to give feedback regarding your experience with us at Inclusion Thurrock.

It is understandable that you initially felt sceptical regarding therapy but we are really glad to hear that working with Jade has been a positive experience.

You have clearly worked hard in both learning and using the tools from your CBT therapy. It is great to know you are feeling a lot more confident and that you have spent the day in London with your girls. Hopefully, you will be able to continue using these tools and skills in your recovery journey.

We have passed your kind words onto Jade and we hope others who reading about your experience will be encouraged to also seek help if needed.

Best wishes

Heidi
