For the last 3 years I’ve been receiving group psychotherapy, which has helped me in ways I could never have dreamed of. Having a place of safety where I can talk every week about the troubles I’m experiencing and my past has been really beneficial.
This Wednesday will be my very last session. I’m both nervous and excited. I’m going to be going it alone for at least the next six months before I potentially start some practical Dialectical behavioural therapy. I will still be able to get in touch with my psychiatrist if I need her, but I won’t be in contact with my therapist anymore. It feels a little bit like I’m becoming a proper adult. I’m going to miss everyone in my group, but I know that I am ready to leave. I’ve got everything that I possibly can out of it at this point.
I’m so very lucky that I’ve been able to experience this treatment for free on the NHS and I would urge anyone who thinks they are ready for therapy to really fight for it. I’m happy to provide more information on how to seek treatment if people want that.
Hopefully I can make a post after the last session on Wednesday evening. Just about how I’m feeling and how it went etc. Wish me luck.
Out of Darkness. Xx
