Gave me the confidence to start my life again

"Gave me the confidence to start my life again"

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as a service user),

I had the worst experience of a car hitting myself and my son in our car and then they hit a child.

It has been a painful year with diagnosed PTSD.

Over a year of my life had stopped the painful memories nightmare fear!!!

I had talking therapy then CBT. Both gave me little bits I tried to use, however the PTSD was still very severe.

I worked with Kevin through EMRD. He really has helped, after just a few sessions I could feel the difference, he gave me the confidence to start my life again.

I was in a truly dark hole but with EMRD and Kevin’s help I’m now re-building my life.

I still have PTSD but I can managed some of the symptoms now when they arise.

Please try these services, even the talking therapy and CBT gave me some relief.

Working on EMRD with Kevin really has been life changing.

Trust the process, you may not understand it but it works.

Thank you Kevin for all your help.
