Accepting who i am

"Accepting who i am"

About: Community Forensic Services / Nottinghamshire MBT Service

(as the patient),

What happened? I attended MBT geouo therapy for about 10 months and I was going through some really bad times on a personal level and my life literally fell apart and I struggled through till January 2020 and I attempted to take my own life and was close to doing so because I gave up, it was that simple.

I gave up on my self and my kids but about 4 days later after recovering from the hospital it was my first group session after xmas break and it was so tough to go through and admit my flaws and the fact I gave up but for some reason in that session something clicked for for me and I found my fight and my hunger to battle my own personal demons which is living with personality disorder and dealing with my kids situation and stepping in the right way for my kids which was massive for me.

From then on I put the effort into each group to open up more and more about who I actually was and how I felt but also massively important was to listen and interact with the group because its super helpful to listen and understand other peoples opinions. So from where I started to now is massive change for me and my kids just being able to understand my feelings and accepting that they are there I have to give massive credit to the group but also Amy my personal tutor who helped me put in that effort and helped me with my feelings to understand them and accept them genuinely the MBT for me has changed my life for the better

Thank you so much for your feedback, it's really positive to know that you have experienced the treatment as helpful and that it's had a positive impact on your relationship with your children. It feels that the hope that things can be different has been really important.

I am pleased to hear that you have had such a helpful and supportive relationship with your facilitator, I will make sure this feedback is passed on.

It seems like you have really been able to make good use of the group treatment/therapy model which allowed you to find an acceptance of self and improve your relationships with others.

I would like to wish you all the best for the future and I hope that you are able to continue to use the understanding and awareness you have gained in the therapy and continue to build on this.

Best wishes, Clare
