Managing anxiety

"Managing anxiety"

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as a service user),

I have just finished 5 months of CBT with Susan.  I had a lot of issues surrounding social anxiety and separation anxiety following a rough year. 

I found the sessions so beneficial and they have changed the way I now deal with day to day life. My anxiety is now more manageable and I’m now able to recognise when I need to take a step back and refocus.

Susan was incredibly patient with me and very professional. Each session was beneficial and had a positive outcome. 

I feel I built up a good rapport with Susan which also added to the positive outcome of the sessions.

I feel lucky to have worked with Susan and am proud of what I have achieved with her.

Hi LaurenW,

Firstly, thank you for providing feedback regarding your time at Inclusion Thurrock.

It is great to know CBT with Susan has been so beneficial and you have seen a difference in your day-to-day life.

It is so important to have a good rapport in therapy, as well as your therapist being patient and professional. So it is really great to know that you found this with Susan. I have passed your kind words on to Susan.

It is great you feel proud of what you have achieved, as you should do. It sounds like you worked hard with the support of Susan achieving those positive outcomes. We hope you continue using what you have learned throughout your recovery journey.

We also hope others reading about your experience will be encouraged to seek support if needed.

Best wishes

Heidi
