Hi all
Are ther any LL councellors out there who can help me out with a particular issue.
I have a very good friend who is on the road to self distruction and she has turned to me and only me to help her out......
The story....
She is 24 years old, very very pretty girl and lost about 3 stone last year on WW. She looks fantastic. She has an increddibly loving partner, a job, lives at home, has a little debt (but what 24 year old dosn't) but..
she is suffering terribly with anxiety, low self esteem, depression. She is drinking far too much which is putting her further down that spiral and is almost out of control.
I am a huge fan of the CBT we have been doing in group and have been talking to her about this. Now, 2 nights ago we had a really good chat about it and she seemed really up for it, positive, wants to make the change and asked me to help her, obviously I said I would. She wants to find a group therapy session, similar to ours but not for lossing weight as she has no need to.
Then, last night I saw her, she hadn't been home, went straight to the pub after work, I saw her abot 9 and she was trollied!! She went on and on at me about how she wanted to be like me (I am almost 10years older than her), I told her not to aspire to be like anyone else but to try and improve herself and feel comfortable with who she is, she feels like she is letting me down, she thinks I am disappointed in her etc etc, you know how pi**ed people can be. I am so not any of those things, I just want to help.
Anyway, sorry for rambling but my question is.....
Do any of you know of any generic CBT councelling groups in Surrey or do you know where I can find out as the world wide web is not coming up with anything. She has been to her doc's but not particularly helpful!!!
Thanks in advance....
