"Helped me to understand myself"

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as a service user),

I have suffered depression for many years, off and on medication. I always thought I was to blame for everything that went wrong, I worked and laughed but I was was hurting inside.

I felt I was bullied into a constructive dismissal at the point I asked to be paid off, once this happened, I had no friends, no colleagues and became lonely.

I contacted a survivors charity to let them know I was a survivor of childhood trauma. I became very depressed anxious and frustrated. My GP was very caring and made contact with inclusion

My counsellor was very supportive and patient. She understood my rumbling on and changing conversation mid flow and helped me to understand myself. I brought trauma up that I had locked away, my course is now complete.

Hi corridorjw65,

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback regarding your time at Inclusion Thurrock.

I am glad you reached out to the survivor’s charity, as well as your GP who was caring and contacted our service.

It is really great to know your counsellor was supportive and patient, this is so important in therapy. It seems like with your hard work, and the support of your counsellor, you have gained a better understanding of yourself. We hope you continue to use what you have learned throughout your recovery journey.

We also hope others reading about your experience will be encouraged to seek help if needed.

Best wishes

Heidi
