PTSD

"PTSD"

About: Hounslow IAPT

(as a service user),

I have had a few too many incidents happen to me in my life span (I am 24 years old).

I have been in two High-Jacking situations and that is just two of my situations that I have had to deal with. Both high-jackings I was in, had occurred before I reach the age of 15.

When I was told that I had PTSD is did not want to believe what I was being told, but as I went through the EMDR sessions with Rashmeet, I was shown how to displace the feeling/fears I had about every day struggles.

I have now finished my sessions and I feel as if I am able to let the little things in life make me stronger and better for the up and coming years of my adult hood.

Dear Scubaman

I am sorry you have experienced two traumatic events resulting in a diagnosis of PTSD.

It is so wonderful to hear that EMDR therapy with Rashmeet has helped you to process the traumatic events and allowed you to manage your fears about day-to-day life. EMDR is a highly effective and evidence based treatment for PTSD so your testimony will further reassure others who are considering therapy. Additionally, a good therapeutic relationship is also important and seems to have been evident in your experience of therapy.

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience of the service.

We wish you all the best for the future,

Dr Annabelle Norman

Joint Clinical Lead
