"It gave me a great sense of relief"

About: Parent Support Link

(as a service user),

I approached Jonnie because at the time i was in crisis. I was struggling with managing my own emotions around my sons drug use as his risk taking behaviour was having a significant impact upon my own emotional wellbeing. I was feeling, fearful, anxious, and completely overwhelmed.

From my first session with Jonnie I was able to gain some perspective on the situation which gave me a great sense of relief.

Jonnie introduced me to The Jigsaw Journey model. What a fantastic model!! The jigsaw journey really allowed me to get a visual understanding of what had been happening and helped me to get into a place where the drugs where no longer driving my behaviour.

I have been able to implement this model which has helped me to make changes to my behaviour. I am so grateful to Jonnie for his kind, laid back and empathetic approach and for introducing me to the jigsaw journey mode.

Thank you for sharing such a powerful reflection. It's clear how deeply the situation with your son was affecting your wellbeing, and it's incredibly heartening to hear how Jonnie’s support, and the Jigsaw Journey model, helped you regain a sense of control and clarity. Your courage to seek help, and your openness to change, are inspiring. It's a reminder that with the right support, even in the most overwhelming times, there is a way forward.

Thank you again!

Take care.
