"Life changing Therapy"

About: Forth Valley Community Services / Psychological therapies

(as a service user),

The therapy I received from Daki at the Adult Psychology Service at the Bungalows in Larbert has been really beneficial to me and has positively impacted me in the following ways:

- am better able to cope and deal with stress

- I actually like and love myself as a person and recognise my worth

-  I understand how my thoughts and actions contribute to my worries and how I may contribute to and how I can remove myself from the Drama Triangle

- Therapy has helped build my self-esteem and helped me tackle my addiction

- Therapy has helped (saved!) my relationship

- I have my lust for life back and feel the most positive and mentally healthy I have felt in my entire life

- I am thankful to my therapist for being honest with me, telling me what I needed to hear (not necessarily what I wanted to hear)

- I have more headspace

- I understand how my past experiences & attachment style contributes to my thoughts, feelings & outlook as well as how my previous coping mechanisms I used to survive, no longer benefit me

- I am thankful to my therapist for being so very patient with me 

- I am also thankful to my therapist for being firm with me when needed and making me do the work

- Therapy has helped me to recognise when I obsess to be able to stop obsessing about my relationships allowing me to focus on myself more

- I now understand my triggers and can identify and know how to manage these.

- I am able to cope better with conflict at work and am better able and equipped to do my job.

- I can identify my boundaries and am comfortable and confident to express and implement my boundaries

I cannot thank Daki enough for the difference she has made to my life and will be forever grateful.
