“It was really hard for me to admit that I was struggling so much, and taking the step to contact Humanworks was big for me – I’m so used to managing things on my own. I was hesitant also because I have had a couple experiences with counsellors that were not very helpful.
However, the counsellor I connected with through Humanworks was amazing. I am so appreciative of the knowledge, insights, kindness, patience, and clarity – I took so many notes, and have gone back through them to continue processing some of the thinking and wondering I was doing. The conversations and the encouragement to look at other possible supports made a big difference in being able to manage to complete my school year and not go on medical leave. Looking back at the emotional trajectory of the last 3 months, I can see that I was in a tough place. Now I am seeing so many more positives, and able to appreciate the parts of this work that feeds me.”
