Forever grateful for you not giving up on me

Posted By scoreboardbr44

"Forever grateful for you not giving up on me"

About: Community Services / North Lincs Primary Care Network

(as a service user),

I have been having 1 to 1 sessions for the last 3 months with Nikki because I didn't do so good with the group sessions.

 I honestly believed I couldn't be helped, I  didn't really understand anything about feelings and emotions so found it very difficult . I said on many occasions that I couldn't be helped but Nikki kept reassuring me that I could. She was so calm and understanding and funny too (but not as funny as me 🤣) that things started to make sense to me and I now understand myself much more and I'm able to regulate my emotions much better. It's a work in progress, I still really don't like people or being around people or social situations and I'm absolutely fine with that I just feel much calmer about it. My journey's not over, onto trauma therapy now, can't wait!

I will be forever grateful for your help and not giving up on me even when I wanted to,  so thank you Nikki, you have helped improve my mental health . I have seen many people over the years for therapy but they never really helped me. 

You are amazing mental health need more people like you.

Hello Scoreboardbr44.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience—it means a great deal to us.

It’s clear that the journey you’ve been on hasn’t been easy, and yet your honesty, perseverance, and willingness to engage in the process—despite the challenges—are incredibly commendable and that you are now beginning to regulate your emotions in a way that feels right for you.

I am pleased to hear of the important role Nikki has played in supporting you. It’s evident from your message that her tenacity and humorous approach has made a meaningful impact on your wellbeing. Your feedback will be a wonderful reminder of the value she brings to the life’s of our patients.

As you move forward into trauma therapy, please carry with you the skills and insight you’ve already developed.

Thank you, Gary Oxley
