      I left my DV relationship a handful of years ago, with my daughter. Although we are free from abuse and no longer in danger, I have spent many years alone and questioning when will I get over the trauma. I have not considered therapy or counselling but has this helped others previously?

      Yes absolutely, you don’t know what you don’t know so even if you’re in a good place counselling can help unpack how you got there in the first place which then builds you up going forward. Also in abuse and trauma our brains can suppress certain memories which counselling can help you process and reframe. As a parent myself I’ve also found it helpful to me and my kids. Plus what we think is a good place now might actually just be a step above the bad place – surviving rather than thriving.  Good luck x
