I feel very safe and secure in your home.
It feels like a place that I can talk.
I feel very safe with you – you are a lovely lady with a kind face.
The chair I sit on is too low.
I came to you believing you to be my last resort.
I didn’t really believe you could help me but there seemed like there was nothing else left to try.
There were loads of things wrong with me – both mental and physical.
My nightmares were frequent and horrific.
I couldn’t walk 10 yards.
I couldn’t drive a car.
My skin was crap – my personal hygiene left a lot to be desired simply because there was no point in showering or changing clothes.
I was slowly destroying the marriage to a woman I love more than I ever thought possible.
The sarcastic side of me gave names to the remedies you suggested – “eye of newt”, “toe of frog”, “tongue of lizard”.
Why not quietly take the piss because it wouldn’t work?
And now here we are, some six months on from my first visit.
There have been around 6 visits (I think).
I changed clothes daily.
Showering is a pleasure.
I can walk 800 meters.
I’m driving a car again.
I’ve booked a course of treatment at the Dentist.
I’ve not had a nightmare for months.
My sleep has improved.
Household jobs that were previously beyond me are now getting done.
The relationship with my wife gets stronger and stronger.
I feel like I have a future.
I have been taught a technique for dealing with some of my demons.
Haven’t got a clue why it works.
I was tempted to find out why it works but decided not to.
Let it work and don’t worry why.
I’m still very much work-in-progress.
But I feel like its work that’s worth bothering about.
I didn’t feel that way six months ago.
Les.
