      I’ve been seeing the same therapist for the last decade – she is great but I’m finding it’s probably not helping my PTSD much. Since the assault I have moved on in leaps and bounds, but I don’t ever allow myself to think of it. When I do my anxiety creeps up and I can’t even breathe. But I know the problem is still there (I’m fairly certain it always will be) as I keep having vivid nightmares about it/him which then set off my anxiety anyway. I’m getting pretty tired of it and it’s turning me into a paranoid wreck.

      I’m trying to find a trauma specialist in London/Greater London but I would much rather engage someone through recommendations than just taking a chance on someone I have Googled. If anyone has someone they can refer to me who has helped them, please drop me a DM. I would be so grateful!

      Hey sweetheart, you need to maybe take out where you’re from just in case 💖 if you Google emdr in your area and look into that. It really helps with the nightmares and I feel like even though it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done it’s the only thing that will get me back on an even keel. I hope you find what you need. Take care xx
