When life throws you challenging or traumatic events you survive with what ever resources you have at the time – what choice do you have. Initially you might feel some support by those around you but eventually life moves on.

Do you feel as though the pain from the past continues to hang over you, impacting your day to day life now?

Perhaps you keep these things to yourself and struggle internally in painful silence or maybe the past has become your narrative.

Do you tell various people your story over and over in the hope that one day the pain will go away?

Sometimes, when you tell others your story you feel validated and understood, your pain is heard, even just for a moment. However, often this ends up in a comparison cycle over who’s story was more traumatic.

This is where having one person who is trusted and qualified to support you is so important. With the right therapeutic counsellor, you will be able to share your story and your pain, while being supported to heal. Here, you can begin creating a new narrative and find peace with the old.
