"Road traffic trauma"

About: Primary Mental Health Care Services / Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

(as the patient),

Motorcycle accident in 2013 in which I sustained poly trauma to several limbs, pelvis ,spine etc. was resuscitated a few times in Craigavon Before being transferred to Royal Victoria for 4 weeks and finally onwards to Musgrave Park for further 8 weeks, forewent 30 plus operations over several years, left with serve mobility issues and high pain levels.

This resulted in relationship breakup and depression plus the reoccurring nightmares of the incident.

I was at a point on many occasions that life was hopeless and not worth the journey or hassle any longer, I didn’t trust anyone and I was on my knees……… however the NHS specialist encouraged me to talk about matters I had never spoke of before and helped me to acknowledge my errors and limited views on what I had achieved without me knowing it.

I cannot express enough my gratitude towards the staff and the helpful nature together with hope it has offered me again, thank you so much to Katie.

Take care.
