Good morning everyone!!
I hope everyone is doing ok today.
I just wanted to share a small step I completed today which was my first therapy session with Talk Plus. I’m on my journey of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). The session went well, I was confronted with some hard questions to answer. We started at the very beginning, talked through childhood, what did I think had led me to where I am today to be taking therapy and what I wanted. To achieve. I said my main aim is to become happy again and that my separation had highlighted some underlying issues that had put me in the position I’m in. I left the call after an hour, afterwards I realised that I had been answering the questions and reasons as to why my marriage had gotten to the state it’s in currently. This gave me encouragement that I now understood some of the core reasons.
It was the first of at least 6 sessions, I’ll continue with it longer than this to ensure that I have the right support and tools to help me with creating a positive, happier person which in time will hopefully go to fixing parts of my marriage and keep me aware of some of the factors that contributed to it failing.
I can honestly say today is the best I’ve felt since the separation. If any of you chaps are feeling low, anxious or suffering with depression, I would encourage the same for you, it helps to talk.
Speak soon lads, and try and have a positive day!
