Aggy

If you are looking for a therapist that is genuinely kind and caring with the patience of a saint then I couldn't recommend Sarah enough for you.
From the moment I met her she has helped support me and break down barriers which I honestly believe noone else could have done.
Her therapy sessions have helped shift the burden so much so that I can now breathe and I finally feel like I'm waking up. I know I have a long way to go but being in this position that I am now is honestly the best change I could have asked for. At my lowest I adamant that I didn't want to be here anymore. What use was I? To anyone? Let alone myself? The grief of losing myself was all consuming and with the trauma being so prevalent I locked into a collapsing bubble of loneliness and terror. I hated walking out my own front door. I couldn't sleep with crying and screaming and the terrors that came with it. I had to keep my head, neck and ears covered all the time. My relationship with my son was broken so much I feared it would never mend. As too my family, especially my brother and father and son. Males were a threat that made my skin crawl even at a distance.
I could list it all but suffice to say I had no life and no hope for any future one either, the person I had been was dead and so what difference did that it make? I was slowly disappearing and I was welcoming to it. Despair, fear, loneliness, terror, dread, the constant replay of the traumatic event with physical reactions in my body to it as if the event never stopped and was still continuing. The dread of going to sleep vied with the disappointment of my waking up.
I never put much stock in the therapy before it started, just that it had been recommended, but I never actually thought it would work for me. Nor did I even consider what it would mean if it did help.
Then I met Sarah who with just her smile and friendly unobtrusive unthreatening and open manner had me relaxing almost immediately.
Now I look back and think that from almost day one things started to change. I could talk to her, actually air thing's without someone cutting me off or trying to steer to a less sensitive topic. I cried and she gave me the confidence to share my awful existence and how it affected me, not just day to day but second by second.
It's taken a lot of work and as I say, there is still a long road ahead, but it would never have been possible to have gotten this far without Sarah's assistance and encouragement.
In fact, this week I actually went to a Costa, ON MY OWN!! It was early and I was the only customer, hence my being able to actually go in on my own and I did cry a bit but also I felt exhilaration at this momentous act. And it truly was for me. I was even more shocked when I realised that I was planning on doing it again. I have decided once a month I will try to do this, just for me. This would have been unthinkable even a year ago so my making plans to do it again is still such a strange feeling for me but one I wanted to share so whoever reads this knows they aren't alone and with Sarah's guidance you'll make it through your darkest day. I did.
Words could never express my gratitude for all your help Sarah ?
