Anxiety and my journey

Posted By Tommo239

"Anxiety and my journey"

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as a service user),

I started to have physical health issues about 2 years ago. symptoms including heart racing, extreme tiredness, lack of motivation, inability to focus and do the things I normally do and enjoy. After numerous medical testing I was physically well.. My symptoms were diagnosed aa anxiety. This would come and go, but started to effect my day to day life and changed me as a person. Counselling from Lauren has enabled me to deal with the mental health. She has given me the “tools” to deal with various situations and been there to listen to me. I could not thank Lauren enough for her time. We went into so much detail, all of which she could understand and made meaningful suggestions that so helped. Amazing listening skills and talking with purpose. Thank you so much. I feel better now, time will tell if I’m totally over this episode.

Hello Tommo239,

Thank you for taking the time to share you feedback of your experience with Inclusion Thurrock Talking Therapies.

I am pleased to hear that Lauren was able to create a tailored, professional space for you, where you felt listened to and understood when sharing your experience.

It is great that you were able to seek clarity for your physical issues and have been able to get to the root cause, as anxiety can manifest in physiological symptoms.

Lauren being able to help you deal with the new diagnoses of anxiety and being a support system for you is amazing. It’s wonderful that you learnt tools to help you. I hope that you are able to utilise these tools when you need them most.

I hope that your experience will encourage others to share their story with us at Inclusion Thurrock Talking Therapies.

All the best,

Taffy
