"They helped me learn how to process & manage trauma"

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as a service user),

I felt like I was not able to get out of a dark place and I was just stuck and frozen in time. I had frequent panic episodes which made it impossible to remember anything from before it starts till the end of the episode. Sometimes these would be up to two hours long and it was affecting my schoolwork. This made me feel like I couldn’t do anything for myself I had to rely quite heavily on my friends and it was impossible to not feel like a burden.

I started to have suicidal tendencies and had one attempt of almost going through with the idea. I sort help from the team here at inclusion Thurrock and they helped me learn how to process and manage the traumas I have experienced.
