Feeling hopeless, helpless and ready to give up? Disillusioned with life? Unsure what the future holds? Struggling with events in the past? Not sure which route to take? If, like me, you answered YES – you may wish to read on…..
Personally, I felt ready to give up. I felt hopeless and helpless. I had lost everything and nothing I seemed to do was helping. I was severely depressed. Visits to the GP, prescribed medication and work with professionals specialising in Cognitive Behavioural Therapies worked to begin with but not anymore. I needed something different. I needed an additional and alternative addition to my support network, and fast. I threw my last dice and contacted Kevin Powell. What had I lose?
That last roll of the dice was worthwhile. I am slowly re-building my life with a greater understanding of what is important to me. Kevin has facilitated in helping me to understand, recognise and celebrate my own feelings and the feelings of others. Not only has this been crucial for me, but Kevin has supported me in gaining a greater clarity over aspects in my own life and how to do this rather than basing aspects of my life on opinions of others and assumptions, showing me how assuming (rather than looking at the facts) can be dangerous and cause problems.
Through weekly sessions with Kevin, I now have the sense of purpose I needed to rediscover, I have regained the ability to seek clarity over assuming and most importantly, I have explored my feelings and the feelings of others. I have been empowered to take back control, tackle life’s challenges rather that ‘parking’ them and move forwards with strategies that help me make sense of what has happened to me over the past few years.
As I initially thought before I met with Kevin, what have I got to lose?
