"I felt totally relaxed"

About: City Health Care Partnership CIC

(as a service user),

An incident occurred at work which left me with anxiety and struggling with stress.

After going to see my GP, she recommended I go to let's talk. I went to four weeks of stress control which opened my eyes. It made me realise what I was feeling and experiencing was normal. And something a lot of people experience.

I then met Sammie. We had one to one sessions of CBT. Where she taught me how to recognise the triggers of my stress and anxiety. She helped me think logically about what I was feeling or thinking and get me into thinking that it is normal and I can use techniques to overcome it.

One thing that stood out for me, was that Sammie was so understanding, I don't normally cry in front of people but I felt totally relaxed with Sammie

And that although to other people what triggers me may seem trivial, Sammie helped me realise that these things matter to me and how to communicate with those around me why and how this made me feel.

Cannot that Sammie enough for all her help.
