"Changed my outlook, helped me gain so much confidence"

About: Royal Cornhill Hospital / Community Perinatal Mental Health Team

(as a service user),

After a traumatic birth experience I was referred to the perinatal mental health team and was diagnosed with PTSD.

I met a lovely lady called Kate and together we were able to over come all the flashbacks and upsetting feelings I experienced during my caesarean by using TF-CBT.

Kate completely changed my outlook, helped me gain so much confidence and I was actually able to sleep at night. I don’t know where I’d be without her. I now feel like a whole new person who isn’t experiencing traumatic flashbacks or anger towards people
