So I was diagnosed with social anxiety and PTSD by my gp early ire this year, and my mum has also been diagnosed with anxiety many years prior. I was given a referral to a therapist but the practice is private so the sessions would be very expensive. My mum insists that because she has had years of experience with anxiety, and can help me with natural remedies, and that all a therapist does is give you strategies, and while i don't expect her to pay for the expensive sessions, i'm just curious if it's actually helpful and healthy for me to be 'treated' as such by my mum? Does anyone have any advice or experience with natural remedies? do they work?
