I worked in the NHS and came into contact with these professionals!. You really don't have to worry!. They won't force you to do or say anything you don't want to!. You are already vulnerable and they will be well aware of this since you have been referred to them!. They will be gentle, kind and encouraging!. And you will get the help you need!. It's a terribly overstretched service, so while you might not appreciate it now, you are lucky to have been referred to them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Don't be scared, the fact you are getting help means you know you need to heal!.

Could I ask you a couple of question please!?
Which part of the country do you live!?
How long have you waited to be offered this treatment!?
I was offered treatment along the same lines!.!.
I did not want to take the offer up!.!.
I had already had an "art therapy "course!.
Which I did not enjoy!.!.
I had expected the "course" to involve several others!.
Instead, I found it was just myself, and the therapist!.!.
I attended six sessions, then had to stop!.!.!.
I just could not cope with the situation, just myself and the therapist!.
I found it far too intense, to personal!.!.
Like yourself, I find it difficult to trust anyone!.!.
If you feel able, would you tell me how long you have waited for this treatment!.!.!.
From what you say, you have similar symptoms to myself, also my son!.!.
Please, I'm sure there is no need for you to feel scared!.!.
I!.m sure all will go well!.!.
I would really appreciate it if you could give me the answers to my questions!.!.
We seem to share so many insecurities!.!.
I am always there if you need to talk!.!.
Just a friend if you want one!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
