I see him through a charity that provide counselling and therapy for people who otherwise couldn't afford it. My T has admitted he couldn't literally / biologically share in the experience, but I know he can empathise well enogh that that isn't important....does that make sense?

I have spoken to my health visitor about it, but she thinks talking with my T is the best bet because he knows my history and has insight in to my though process. She said seeing someone temporarily would only give me 'general advice' which (off the record she said) I'd be as well looking up online at. If the sleep deprivation / disturbed sleep continues I would consider meds.

I must be the only mum who has a baby that sleeps through, but is still sleep deprived I think being constantly told that now I have a healthy baby I shouldn't still be thinking of the other isn't helping. It's also coming up to what should have been his/her birthday...
Jessica, I've had EMDR & have been referred to have some more & am waiting. I was referred from Depression & Anxiety Service. Mine is on the NHS. See your GP & get a DAS referral. DAS told me that my trauma was not suitable to be treated with CBT. They felt EMDR would be better. It was brilliant. Good luck.
Thanks for this!
