"Learning to be me !"

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as a service user),

When i walked into Barrie's office, i was a mess, self loathing, seeking constant approval and reassurance, i beat myself up but built others up, i'd reached the point where i knew i needed to change.

Barrie showed me how to change my thought process and identify the behaviours that i wanted and needed to change, 6 sessions later and some massive personal challenges overcome, I've finally arrived at a place where I'm truly happy, confident and looking forward to the future.

Because of what i learnt and read, because i trusted in the process,I've found a new zest for life, an energy that i lost many years ago has returned and burns brighter than ever, I've even managed to help friends take the step to seek help aswell.

Therapy can be a frightening concept, but trust in the process, have an open mind and with a dint of hard work and determination, you can reach a better place mentally, where you are stronger and able to not only function but live !

Dear Pauly-Doodle

Thank you for pointing out, from your own person experience, how you were able to move from a desperate place to one of functioning better, feeling better, and it sounded like, reconnecting with some vitality!!

" where you are stronger and able to not only function but live! "

That sounded pretty full of life to me!!

From all of the team here at Inclusion Thurrock, thank you so much for sharing your story and we are SO happy for you.

Many thanks

Paul
