"Anxiety matters"

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as the patient),

I have been suffering with anxiety for over 20 years, after a life changing event I decided to get help. I was introduced to Inclusion Thurrock. I attended their group therapy session and realised help is out there. No one was judging me no one was looking at me differently, but one thing was for sure is they wanted to help me. I had attended the one to one sessions with Chris, he was very caring and understanding of my situation and with his support and guidance he has given me the tools and know how to deal with my anxiety and how to control and manage it. With out his help my life would be on a continuous roller coaster of emotions. If any one feels there's no help, think again, I was the same and I'm so grateful I attended the first meeting and haven't looked back, I am only looking forward.

Dear Tomy,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us - it sounds as though you were ready to make the changes in your life that you wanted to make to overcome your anxiety.

It's so nice to hear that you attended the group session. Many people are anxious about being invited to the Time for Change course, so it's so lovely to hear from someone who benefitted from it in the way it's intended. It also sounds like it really prepared you for the amazing work you did with Chris!

Congratulations on overcoming those difficulties - and as you say, the only way is forward!

Best wishes for the future,

Mark Frost
