First EMDR session

Posted By LaurenW

"First EMDR session"

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as a service user),

At my first EMDR session I was incredibly anxious, but Chris soon put me at ease. He was patient, relaxed and worked with me to overcome some trauma I’d be carrying since the pandemic.

His knowledge and expertise enabled me to work through the trauma and end up with a completely different perspective and outcome of what happened. Turning a distressful experience into a more positive one.

I’d highly recommend these sessions to anyone dealing with distressing situations.

Turning a distressing experience into a more positive one is a powerful step forward, and we are glad to have been part of that process.

I will make sure your kind words are passed onto your therapist, Chis, as I am sure he will be touched to know how much his support has helped you.

Your recommendation means a lot, and we hope your feedback encourages others to seek support when facing similar challenges.

Wishing you continued strength and wellbeing on your journey.

Kind regards,
