Overview

"""""This year I really lost myself. I spent a lot of time anxious and afraid. I really felt that there was nowhere for me to go before I decided to give therapy another go. I remember thinking that when you're feeling that low, really what is there to lose? It turned out to be a decision that I truly believe saved my life. I've always enjoyed writing. It has always felt an easier way to put down into words how I feel and what I want, than even attempt to express what I am trying to say. In a year where I learnt to be comfortable being uncomfortable and confronted my demons head on, my writing gave me a sense of control. It provided me with an outlet to express myself, make some sense and lightness of the darkness, and later, to be proud of the growth I have shown. I started writing about what was going on and how I was feeling. I started to piece together what felt like a broken puzzle, but was actually my life. I learnt to forgive myself and gave myself permission to heal and to find my peace. This is my journey through therapy."""""

Author Information

"""""Daniel McGowan is an Australian teacher who moved to London at the end of 2019. With this move came a host of challenges. Living in a pandemic made it hard for him to find his place in London, to make friends, to date and his ambition to travel Europe took a hit. But more than anything he lost his way as his anxiety and past trauma caught up with him. Through attending therapy this year, he began to confront everything uncomfortable, every insecurity he had and began to make sense of the madness. He found comfort in writing about his experiences and often used it as a means of expressing how he was feeling at therapy weekly. These raw and honest pieces of writing speak openly of the struggles he faced, but also express the resilience he showed to bounce back and eventually find a sense of healing and peace. This is a collection of pieces he wrote during that time."""""
