Dealing with low self esteem, anxiety and panic

Posted By guideqr87

"Dealing with low self esteem, anxiety and panic"

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as a service user),

Starting therapy was one of the most challenging yet transformative steps I’ve taken.

In the beginning, I felt overwhelmed, vulnerable, and unsure if anything would truly help—but over time, things began to shift. My therapist played a huge role in that transformation; they were incredibly patient, supportive, and insightful, helping me feel safe enough to open up and work through my problems I was dealing with.

With their guidance, I learned to challenge negative self-beliefs, understand my anxiety triggers, and develop healthier coping strategies. Through consistent effort and support, I began to feel more confident, grounded, and in control of my emotions.

Looking back now, I’m proud of how far I’ve come—the journey wasn’t easy, but with the help of my therapist, the outcome has been empowering and life-changing.

I am glad that despite your initial uncertainties, you continued attending sessions and eventually experienced positive shifts. You should be immensely proud of yourself; the effort and dedication you put in between sessions is impressive.

It is wonderful to know that your therapist provided the support you needed, helping you to feel safe and work through your problems.

Your story is a powerful reminder of the potential for growth and empowerment through therapy.

I will certainly share your kind words with the team.

Wishing you all the best on your continued journey.

We hope that you feedback will encourage others facing similar difficulties to seek help.

Kind regards,

Ann
