Therapy

[StrongLife]

I’ve made calls to therapy. It will be in about a month or just a bit longer.

It’s with domestic violence therapist- last one run out of time yet again.

I got a call today which triggered me regardless. It’s stressful. Not sure how any of this is working – I am improving though.

Hopefully something gels here with therapy.

Let us know how you get on with it, well done for reaching out for more help.

Have you read books on abuse yet?

I’ve found that therapeutic.
I haven’t been referred for counselling yet, I have been referred to MARAC this week so I’m hoping the ball we get rolling with counselling.
I would like it for myself and my children.
Ex has used horrendous gaslighting, guilt trippimg, lies that mess with our heads on all of us.

I’ve got a long road to go with the kids.
I’m lucky being an adult, I’ve read numerous books educating myself on why they abuse, how etc.

The children are too young to have the luxury of enlightenment.

[Starting-again]

I’ve been going to therapy about 2 months now.
I found a therapist who specialises in trauma and domestic abuse, and personally I think it’s helped me so much.
At times ive felt like my head was so busy, like I was going crazy after years of gaslighting. But the way she explains things makes it make sense.
I’m lucky I have friends and family that support me, but having someone who fully understands it and I can go to and pour it out to once a week helps massively.
I think helping me see why I felt like I did, why my body reacts like it does, just helps me understand and process things.
Therapy isn’t easy, and you unlock a lot of things, but it helps me personally.
It’s helping me chip away at all the emotions I’ve suppressed over the years, it’s helping me accept things, and see things much clearly.
It’s not easy, but I think if you find a therapist you click with then it helps massively.

Well done on taking the step to reach out for help x*x

Hi there,

Where I am it’s all limited to a number of sessions or months.

Then I have to move on. It’s becoming annoying as I get used to someone and then leave due to these constraints. I don’t have ongoing cash at this time to pay the costs.
