another win!

just a short one today - i've been away for two weeks and i just don't have a work head on yet.

anyway i got news today of a a great win. i was referred a lovely woman for treatment about twelve months ago. She was a mother of two and had been "a house wife" for well over twelve years. She was depressed, socially anxious, isolated and overweight. She was a bright woman who had never reached her educational expecations. she left the work force to have children with no real qualifications. by the time she had reached me she had absolutely no confidence and struggled with communication and assertion.

we began to addressing the symptoms; the anxiety, the low energy levels, lack of structure. by Christmas i was then able to give her work experience on an important administrative project that had sat undone for years in the practice. she flew. she then organised her own retraining and completed a TAFE course. low and behold i walked back into the office today to the news she has successfully applied for a full time job in admistration. what a joy it is!!
