Hi there, At the beginning of lockdown in March 2020 I decided to seek out treatment as I have experiencing anxiety depression, using drugs and alcohol to escape and had the feeling of guilt, negative self image and completely lost unable to stop breaking the positive things I have around me. I have since improved immensely. I received cognitive behavioural therapy treatment through better help which was useful in identifying the mechanisms which make for satisfaction and providing me with a toolkit. Now, I want a more local therapist but I don’t require it to be face to face meetings just someone with that local relativity to me. I had been using better help for about 9 months and made a lot of progress improving my routines and lifestyle habits. I became clearer minded and more productive, conscious of my boundaries and values. I had a period of sobriety when I first started this therapy. After about three months this therapy It became harder to maintain the positive outlook I have towards progress. I began remembering trauma from a sexual assault a few years ago which I have Identified As a major component to my mental health prior to receiving help in March 2020. I think I need some guidance through it. While my previous therapist in CBT was great, But, the new habits and behaviours come undone as I feel underlying issues from my life experience such as my dad always working and absent, and my relationship with myself, sexuality and identity. I also seem to pull myself back from becoming close to guys when I date which I need to be able to identify. I have the tendency to become bored of things easily.
