Thank you for your message. Its harder than I thought. I reached out to my local service and they have put me on the waiting for some support. I’d reccomend it. They seemed to completely understand what I was saying and I felt a bit more positive after speaking to them x

Thank you. I have made contact with the agency I worked with before. They are calling me in a couple of days to talk about how they can support me. I’m still not 100 per cent sure but thank you for all the information you have given me x

That is exactly it. What a good way to explain it. It also makes sense about finding someone who specialises in trama from domestic abuse. When my son had help I spoke to a few different people at his school. I didnt really say much at all as anything I said I felt like they didn’t really understand. I think there’s lots of opinions on domestic abuse but as people on here will know it is very different when your living it. What seems easy and sensible advice really isn’t as it is all very complicated. I’ve made bad choices like not leaving earlier but at the time it all seemed impossible and a lot of people don’t understand that. Thank you for your post x

Thank you. I will have a read and also look into different types of support. I havent tried counciling for myself but my son has had some as he struggles with his dad not being there and memories from the past. On the few occasions I had to meet with his and this helped me to realise that I’m not ok and to seek support with a local charity. What I found difficult was that I was asked to direct what I wanted to talk about and I couldn’t do this. I don’t even know where to start. I also felt that I’ve been safe for a few years and that there are people who need help now who are still in difficult places and that I’m wasting people time.
I know that you have said that you trauma counciling is new, can I please ask how it works? The CBT stuff that I did basically taught you strategies to control negative thoughts and make them more positive. I really struggle with the times I have less control over like dreams and with memories which constantly pop up from day to day life. Things that are unpredictable so I havent prepared myself for them.

Sorry for the long response and thank you for your advice x
