Over the last few years, I’ve experienced a significant decline in my mental health, after a period of managing pretty well. It’s been incredibly frustrating. Finding myself at breaking point, I was referred to local therapy services. EMDR therapy was suggested, as it seemed a lot of my past trauma was being triggered by present circumstances. I agreed to it, hoping to ease my anxiety and regain some emotional stability. What I didn’t expect, however, was that this process would pull back a curtain on something deeper—something that would completely reshape how I see myself.
