The films explore how therapy improves people\u2019s lives and what can stop some people from diverse backgrounds or older generations from asking for help.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou may be wondering if therapy is really for you,\u201d says Rani Griffiths, a High Intensity Therapist and Cultural and Ethnic Diversity Lead with NHS Talking Therapies Berkshire.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got a range of staff from different backgrounds and we come from a non judgemental place. Everyone can experience mental health difficulties. It can affect anyone no matter who you are or what your background is.\u201d<\/p>\n
She adds: \u201cI get to see this incredible journey through therapy, and it can be difficult and painful at times. People develop in a way that helps them connect. I see people build in confidence and take on new challenges that they didn\u2019t think possible. I see people\u2019s world expanding.\u201d<\/p>\n
Diana, who has received Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), says:<\/p>\n
\u201cTherapy has made me see life in a different way. I never really knew if I could talk to someone it would change the way I thought life was \u2013 because I felt like I was alone in this world. But when I shared with my therapist it really made the burden to be less and less heavy on me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Peter says:<\/p>\n
\u201cSeek help sooner rather than later. I waited 40 years to get treatment for my phobias. Would you do that normally? I had a bad knee for two years. I\u2019ve had it sorted.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
