Proper introduction..

[Claire]

Hi All,

I've been lurking & posting for a few days now so I thought I would formally introduce myself :shy:.

I'm Claire & I have been in therapy for almost 2 years now. My previous experience of therapy was 10/11 years ago after I took an OD. It wasn't a great 1st experience & put me off for a long time.

I have some psychology & counselling experience through my nurse training, which I stupidly gave up in my last year of Uni.

Looking forward to 'meeting' you all.

Claire xx

Hi Claire and thank you for your introduction :hug:

Without saying too much, it sounds like we have a lot in common. I had a bad experience 11 years ago and have since been very interested in psychology and counselling.. have done numerous courses and been in personal counselling for 2 years (although that ended in December).

Anyway, really hope you enjoy this forum and i look forward to seeing you around and hearing more from you - if you'd like. In the meantime take good care of yourself

:hug:
