“Hey, you guys may or may not remember me but I was in the second row of your presentation this afternoon (with the pink hair) and I just wanted to say thank-you. I've got a lot of stuff going on in my life this year - as well as being in year twelve, I've got a job, a split family with one half very pressuring and the other pretty relaxed, friends whose problems I take on myself, and I'm bisexual. With the recent shooting in America, my emotions have been all over the place and I've had to hide how upset I've been from my dad. I've also had practice exams, SACs and folios due in that I've had to rush to complete.
I can't sleep at night. Ever. I get maybe 3 hours if I'm lucky.
Your session today gave me a sense of calm I haven't felt for several weeks now, and it put at rest the heaviness that's been weighing on me since the weekend.
Even though it was only a temporary respite, it's nice for me to know that I have this trick I can use at any time to just breathe and relax a little.
So, again, thank-you so much.”
