"I had two under twos and life was becoming tough"

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as the patient),

I felt judged for my mothering and house cleaning skills and it made me realise how much I have taken in for years and I never had a chance to speak out about my feelings. It was making me angry and making me tense and I couldn’t stop crying, arguing and generally not happy.

My friends and family were all just telling me not to worry about negative comments and negative people. My feelings were not considered and always felt like I was being treated badly but I never thought about that before.

With inclusion I have been able to express myself and my feelings. All the cards were laid out during my therapy sessions and I was able to look at it from a distance and was now aware what was happening and what was triggering me. There was so many emotions that I had to face in order to learn how to control the negative comments and people which I may face in the future.

My perspective on life has definitely changed for the better. I really needed this and I was so late to consider inclusion. My therapist and my sessions will forever be with me.

Dear Lunesey1,

Thank you for taking the time for sharing your experience with Inclusion Thurrock.

Becoming a mother is already an emotional roller coaster, and I can only imagine the added pressure you felt being judged on your mothering and cleaning skills. I’m glad to hear that you eventually realized the need for support to develop better coping skills.

It’s wonderful to know that you felt comfortable expressing yourself with our team member, processed the necessary emotions, and now have a better perspective on life. I will share your kind words with the team.

I hope this positive feedback encourages others who are struggling to seek the help they need.

Warms regards

Ann.
