Hi All,
I'm on my 6th session now of intergrative therapy and I can honestly say it's working wonders...
I would highly recommend it to anyone... I use to have CBT but my mental health worker thought this would be better after having a relapse...
She hasn't taught me any strategies or things like that but just opened my mind up to exploring what's there and what's causing the anxiety... Rather than CBT which just treats the anxiety... Just to let you know this is all through the NHS...
We've basically realised that this anxiety has come from my fear of death and being alone... She's made me explore death which is never pleasant but it's made me come to terms with lots of things and allow my mind explore places it didn't really want to go.
Now the sessions are hard and today we were talking about my relationship with my fiancé, turns out this is having a huge effect on me... But it all links together.
I have to admit I find it difficult and leave most sessions in tears which sounds awful but she's forcing me to think about things I wouldn't do normally...
It's really hard to recommend any stratagies to help others but if you suffer with HA and I really recommend exploring it :)
