L.R. Derbyshire – Trauma and effect on relationships

“When I reached out to Patti I was 7 month post-partum, stuck in a cycle of baby blues I couldn’t escape, whilst trying to process my birth story and the majority of my childhood. Whilst I had sought help previously and thought I was fine, my birthing experience reiterated that I was not.

I walked into Patti, a broken and beaten woman who was at a real all time low. Patti made me feel listened to, seen and heard for the first time in a long time. Something about Patti enabled me to be so emotionally raw and tell her the deepest darkest places of my mind and body, which I had never felt able to do with anyone.

I went through an upsetting and difficult to understand childhood which resulted in a lot of traumas that I had not processed and which were affecting my relationship. I had controlling parents who had no boundaries and a baby I felt difficult to fully bond with and stuck in my own self-destructive circle.

Patti allowed me to speak without judgement and fear and helped me process everything I had been through with empathy and understanding. Together we have developed boundaries, processes and solutions for which I am incredibly thankful.

There is absolutely no one else I feel I could have gone on this journey with. So, thank you Patti. I don’t think you understand just how much you helped and saved my marriage”.
