Anxiety and Low Self Esteem

"Anxiety and Low Self Esteem"

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as the patient),

Having experienced anxiety on and off for the last 10 years and trying to overcome it myself I finally decided I needed to have talking therapy.

I worked with Georgina at inclusion for around 3 months whereby she taught me new coping strategies and ways of dealing with my anxiety and different ways to think.

I believe this helped greatly with my development and I now feel a lot more positive about the future and my self esteem has also improved.

Thank you Georgina for all of your help, your knowledge and service was excellent.

Thank you!

Dear dks1,

Firstly, I would like to thank you for sharing your experience of anxiety and therapy. It is common for us to experience difficulties over a long period of time and whilst we do our very best to cope, sometimes reaching out for a little extra support is just what we need. I am so very pleased to hear that you explored the option of talking therapy and that it has helped you.

It is fantastic to hear that you have developed new strategies for anxiety and learned new ways of thinking. It sounds as though you took a lot from your 3 months with us, I hope you continue to use what you have learnt in the future.

I would like to highlight your comment regarding your self-esteem. Often we focus on one key problem in therapy but as you have found, this can then improve other areas of our life too. It is common for difficulties such as anxiety to impact other areas of our life such as our confidence and self-esteem, so when we begin to manage the anxiety, we notice other improvements as well!

We wish you the very best of luck for the future and I am sure that Georgina will be very pleased to read your message.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Jade
