Client: Josh, Nottingham

(Nottingham England)

Hi,
My name is Josh, 31, Nottingham, England.

I was raised as one of Jehovahs Witnesses but was excommunicated (shunned) from my faith and support community 3 years ago. This involved losing my marriage, family and almost every friend I’ve ever known. I’ve done a lot of counselling and personal development in this time and generally live a high quality of life. However I’m stuck, after growing up in such a high control environment and then losing a massive part of my identity I struggle to define who I am or where I want to go. I’m eager to make the best of my new found freedom but feel paralysed by opportunities. I’ve become very focused on adventures, freedom, exploration of new things but I think this has left me very challenged at creating health and consistent routines. When I become depressed I don’t have the energy to do the spontaneous things I enjoy doing and lack any habits to stay in a healthy routine. I’m looking for someone who can provide some accountability and focus until I feel empowered to self manage this.

I’d be very grateful of any help.
