Overcoming my traumatic childhood

When I reached the age of 50, I felt like it was time I really sorted out my feelings about my traumatic childhood so that I could move on and enjoy the future, I started to sense that I needed to do this for me, having spent so much of my life prioritising the needs of others. The counsellor I found on this website is the best thing that has ever happened. Her profile jumped out at me immediately when I read it and we met for the first time within days. I have been seeing her every week for the last five months and although we still have a way to go I just know that this was exactly what I needed, finally someone who really can empathise with my life and guide me to a healthier and happier way of thinking about many aspects of my life.
