What helped you decide to start therapy?

Was therapy how you expected it to be?

Harder than I expected, but more effective. Learning how to be at peace with the defects, as part of who I am rather than constantly (my condition) was a very tough adjustment but one that has changed how I view my life.

What did you value about the sessions?

Learning through doing was very helpful for me. Changing actions one step at a time, until I found myself thinking that way unconsciously, was much better than just talking. Having a model where I spent a week or two weeks putting into practice what we had discussed, and then we reviewed the progress at the next meeting gave me time to properly feel out what was working for me, and what was more challenging. It’s a small detail, but getting the video link the night before, or the morning of the session, rather than a long time in advance, meant that I didn’t lose it in my inbox and was useful.

Were there any particular benefits of having sessions via video call?

My job moves around a lot, and this meant I could continue therapy wherever I was. Booking in blocks of 3 was also useful, as someone in a job where I often don’t know where I will be in a month’s time. Being able to see my therapist, rather than a voice on the end of the phone, helped me to establish a relationship more easily, and I felt I trusted her more than I think I would have done over a phone call.
