Venturing out of the dark *TRIGGERS*

[Angie]

I would try and look at that as her trying to give you as much as she can hunni, but understand your reservations aswell xx

[Paula]

They're not guaranteed yet, she's applying for them after the next session. To be honest, I'm not convinced after the issue I had but I have to show willing.

I suppose the question is, regardless of what happened on one, or two, sessions, has the counselling overall been positive or otherwise?

[Jaquaia]

It's made me realise that I have lost myself over the past few years and there's maybe positives I can't see myself yet, but other then that I haven't noticed it being overly helpful.

[Paula]

Do you now have any tools that could potentially be used to find yourself?

[Jaquaia]

I don't know. Getting out and socialising was huge for me and made me feel more like myself then I have in a long time.

[Suzi]

I think that getting to realise how much you have lost you is huge - I know, because I know how scared that made me when I've had it said to me a few times....

[Jaquaia]

It finally clicked that I'm either ill or a carer but never just me.

[Suzi]

We talked about this a bit today about how each person around us sees a segment of us, but few people see the whole of this....

[Paula]

How are you doing, gorgeous?

[Suzi]

Hope that it's a good day lovely x
