hi guys
Thought I would tell you all how it went today as it was my first time.
When I arrived at the charity counselling centre I nearly ran out but I thought dont let the looks of the place ruin it. I didnt realise that its a drop in centre aswell, so as i walked in i was faced with a room full of people smoking and some dirty looking people. There was no receptionist just a woman to greet you and not that nicely either. I was sent to another room on the top floor and was told to wait. Then was a big shock a small 4 ft man with deformaties came to me and introduced himself (dont take this the wrong way the deformities didnt bother me but he just wasnt what i expected). I must admit by now i was scared and wanted to forget it but some how kept going. I followed the little man named tony into his room, which was very small with 2 chairs in.
Once in the room and seated my mind relaxed and I talked for the whole hour with tony listening, I was surprised at myself about how open I was being and how relaxed I started to feel.
At the end of the hour I realised that tony will be able to help me and i already felt some what better as he had listened to me without thinking she's mad etc.
Despite the place being the pits i do feel that counselling will help me and i am going to continue it for the 12 week period. I am glad now that I didnt run out. Kazo
