About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as a service user),

I contacted Inclusion Thurrock as I was suffering severely with anxiety. It was affecting my day to day life and causing me to feel very low. My therapist Amy was fantastic, she listened and offered so many simple, practical solutions which have helped turned my life around. I cannot thank her enough.

Dear apusrp46,

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. It is very common to experience things like anxiety and the effects these difficulties can have on our lives can be very hard to manage on our own.

I am sure Amy will be so happy to hear that the techniques you have learned during therapy have helped you to, as you said, turn your life around. It sounds like you had a very good relationship with your therapist which is something we always strive for.

I think you are right when you say that a lot of the techniques we may learn during therapy are simple and practical. Many people believe that therapy is a long, difficult process, but for a lot of difficulties it simply does not have to be! Many challenges can be overcome with more low-intensity techniques that are simple and easy to include in our day-to-day life.

The key here is maintaining these techniques over time, so we wish you the best in doing this and all the best for the future!

Kind regards,

Adam
