The trauma therapy was brutally intense, but since doing it, I've been able to up my hours at work from 12/week to 32/week which is just short of full time, I genuinely like myself and my life, and I've started dating which felt impossible before. If you'd asked me 5 years ago if these things would be possible, I would have said not a chance.


I hope you too can find a solution that works for you.
Thank you

May I ask what type of trauma therapy? I've done emdr and that helped a little.

My biggest hurdle is zero support system. So even when therapy is great, I'm all alone and have no one to talk to about it.
