"Thank you for giving me my life back"

Nearly 3 years ago I had a big medical scare that left me with problems, total lack of confidence, social anxiety and small and large panic attacks. It got to be such a problem that it wasn’t only affecting me but also affecting my family, so I had to do something about it.

I went to my doctor, he gave me a prescription for anti-depressant tablets and also a referral letter to Inclusion Matters Sefton.

After about a week I picked up the courage to phone Inclusion Matters and talked to a wonderful lady called Holly who put me at my ease straight away. We talked for about 20 minutes and she recommended that I should have one to one therapy and that I would have sessions. I waited about 4 weeks for my first appointment, petrified I turned up to be met by another wonderful lady called Bev who would be my one to one therapist for all 8 sessions.

Over our first four meetings she taught me how my mind works and how my body works in given situations. On the 5th meeting the penny dropped and I stared to work things out for myself.

From there on in it was for me about repair to my thoughts and actions, in our last meeting Bev and I could laugh and talk about my forgotten problems. Thank goodness I binned the pills and have the courage to phone for help. Thank you Inclusion Matters Sefton and all the team for giving me my life back.
