About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as the patient),

I would like to say a big thank you to inclusion Thurrock for helping through a tough time. I suffer with anxiety and as you know it effects everyone differently. My therapist Victor taught me to become my own therapist I am truly grateful for all the sessions and everything he taught me! I can’t believe how much I learned.

I highly recommend inclusion Thurrock they are so caring and friendly and made me feel comfortable. When I first started I was in a very low place and now I can hold my head high and be proud of how far I’ve come. I will always have anxiety but feel I now know myself better and I am able to help myself thanks to Victor.

Thanks once again for all the support at inclusion Thurrock.

Dear Panda9506,

Thank you for sharing your story with us. It seems as though your experiences with anxiety had led to you finding things difficult before getting in touch with us. You're correct in saying that anxiety affects us all differently, which can often mean it is an isolating experience as we might think others may not understand our anxious thoughts, or how our anxiety may change our behaviour.

It sounds like you have been able to learn a lot about what these changes are for you and why they might happen when we are anxious. What is also clear is that you have been able to use the techniques we cover within therapy to help you manage your own experiences of anxiety. You're very right that we may not be able to get rid of our anxiety, after all it is an emotion that can be helpful at times, but we are able to reduce its impact on our lives, or to find ways to live life in the way we want to.

I hope you are able to continue this learning process into the future, and to continue making the improvements you have seen so far! I am sure Victor will be very happy to hear how much you have learned and grown as a result of the work you have done together.

Wishing you all the best for the future,

Adam
