Accepting myself and my situation

"Accepting myself and my situation"

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as a service user),

My story didn't begin with personal acceptance. It began with a depression. I was low, and I had too high expectations of myself. I had to be perfect, or no one would love me. Over the course of the weeks, i learned about why i felt this way, i was equipped with emotional tools to help me do this, and i leaned along the way perfection isnt necessarily my goal and i am good enough as i am. I dont need to be perfect to be loved, my imperfections keep me striving to be better and as long as i am pushing forwards each day, i am doing ok. I cant be more thankful for the support and tools.

Dear Perfectly imperfect,

Thank you for taking the time to share about your experience Inclusion Thurrock talking therapies.

I am glad to hear you learnt to accept yourself and embrace your imperfections and this has helped you to overcome depression.

It is interesting to hear that your therapist has listened to you and equipped you to understand that you do not need to be perfect to be worthy of love and happiness. It is inspiring to see how you used the emotional tools to push forward each day.

Completing therapy and experiencing its benefits highlighted your courage and commitment to personal growth.
