Anxiety struggles

"Anxiety struggles"

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as a service user),

I was put in touch with Inclusion Thurrock to support me with my anxiety. I felt my therapist was a great fit for me and made me feel comfortable to share my emotions and experiences. She was very supportive and tailored my therapy to my emotional and psychical state, also involving me in what I wanted from therapy.

The weekly checkins allowed me to share my highs and lows from the week and to discuss how the strategies where helping me cope with anxiety. I feel more in control of my anxiety and although it is still there, knowing why I feel a certain way has helped me to use the correct strategies to deal with it logically.

I can not thank my therapist enough for her support and would recommend anyone dealing with similar illnesses to speak to someone and get the right support for them.

Dear Nic84,

First of all it is great to hear that you felt very comfortable and supported with your therapist and that this helped you talk about your experiences. This is something we strive for with the people we work with as it is so important to feel like you are being listened to and getting what you want from therapy.

As you mentioned, the strategies we learn for managing worry and anxiety are really helpful in allowing us to step back from our worries and take more control. It certainly sounds like you have learned a lot through the hard work you have put into using these strategies and I am sure this will keep paying off in future as you continue to maintain them.

Thank you for your sharing your experiences with us and we wish you all the best for the future!

Kind regards,

Adam
