"Social Anxiety"

About: Bromley Healthcare / Talk together Bromley (IAPT)

(as the patient),

For as long as I can remember I have suffered with social Anxiety, if you knew me, you would never know,  as I appear outgoing and confident.

But I have been avoiding certain situations for so long now, sheer panic, racing heartbeat, blushing and generally running away.

This became more and more painful to live with, I knew,  I had to in some way, try to deal or overcome this.

I contacted my local GP and got a referral to Talk Together Bromley, this is where I met Deepa.

Through CBT with Deepa, my life has changed so much.

I had a very distorted view on how I thought I came across, and through certain exercises, and little by little exposure to the things that in the beginning  I found terrifying, I slowly began to see myself and the situations in a totally different view.

I have grown so much from the person I thought I was, and continue to grow every day with confidence with the blueprint that helped me.

Thank you Deepa.

Dear Miss Rem,

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback of your experience of Talk Together Bromley.

I am so pleased to hear that Deepa was able to help you manage your social anxieties and you are still finding the support from your CBT sessions beneficial.

I will pass your comments onto the Deepa, who I am sure will appreciate your kind words.

With best wishes, Sharon
