What Clients Have to Say About the Parks Inner Child Therapy

Thank you so much, I really enjoyed my birthday, I finally spent time on myself on MY birthday. I have now destroyed all my self-defeating beliefs and feel so good, no more do I think about feeling guilty.

I am now living and enjoying every minute of my new life. My partner is really proud of my change, it seems like life is really like a bed of roses.

Thank you for all your help and everlasting support for me and my time there. I am living to the max now together with problems & challenges and I am looking forward to that.

You should be so proud of the work you do! How do I say thanks to someone who has given me my life back? Whatever you accomplished in the previous work you did really can't compare with what you do now.

I never thought I would ever again feel normal ~ but I do. Life is now better, & getting even more so. Many many thanks.

Just a little note to say thank you so much for your help with 'my recovery'. The tools you have given me have opened my mind so that I can now begin to really live my life!

'It's the hurdle, and not just the sprint that counts' therefore I will continue to develop and grow throughout the rest of my lifetime.
Thankyou, S.H.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I was falling apart this time last year, thank to you I came through the other side. I'm the happiest I've been in a long time.

Just a little letter to tell you how I'm getting on. I am very well. I'm going to college to do my course, I'm really proud of myself for getting this far. I had quite a lot of problems and the teachers told me I would be lucky if I made it to the end of the year; or if I did it would only be with a pass. But I proved them all wrong by getting a merit. I am really happy.

Thanks for all the help you gave me.

I need to write about my FEELINGS after (applying for a voluntary job) yesterday. I've experienced an amount of feelings - all mixed up and squashed together - it has taken me 24 hours to sort them out:
THANKFUL - I didn't become a statistic! (a suicide).
ASTOUNDED - at my own strength and determination and how far I've come.
PROUD - of all I've achieved.
DETERMINED - my progress will continue.
HOPEFUL - I'll be accepted (for the job).

I've realised I spent the day with a group of strangers - except one - and not once did I feel ugly and not once did I feel hated for being disabled! So - I have to work out what's the opposite of these - so how did I feel?
ACCEPTED ~ WHOLE ~ WORTHY

How do I feel now?
POSITIVE ABOUT MY FUTURE.
HAPPY AND EXCITED
I CAN RECOGNISE FEELINGS!

I'd like to thank you for the five sessions we had helping me to sort out my problems.

I have had a good week with recourse to use my Resourceful Self a couple of times which prompts me to send this e-mail.

I found our time together uplifting, refreshing and a solution to my past problems. I have found that the techniques that you have given me have opened my eyes to past experiences and given me guidance in the ways to deal with similar future situations.

Now, the darkness is finally behind me. Each new day is sparkling and exciting. I don't ever remember my senses being so aware. I'm mesmerised by everything; it's as if I'm experiencing things for the first time. I feel like a child! It's wonderful. Thank you so much.
