Connecting with the right therapist

"Connecting with the right therapist"

(as the patient),

Immersive Reader

I was in a fairly dark place with mental clarity and alcohol consumption and didn’t have the help I needed to get myself out of the rut I was in. 

Once connecting with my current therapist Eddie it has allowed me to focus on what makes me happy and putting in the effort to things that better myself and the situation I’m in, we still have ways to go but to have someone who understands and is passionate about my recovery really has helped me not to give up and go back to my old ways.

Dear charajya67,

Thank you for sharing your experience at Nana Muru, Nowra.

Finding the right person (therapist, counsellor, treatment facilitator) is a really important step in making progress towards your goals. Connection is essential, and it sounds like Eddie has been there for you and has been able to support you to identify things that make you happy while working through your challenges.

Keep up the great progress and work with Eddie to keep working on yourself. With the right tools people can change their lives - and it sounds like you are doing just that.

All the best for a happy future,

LM
