Fear and anxiety during labour

"Fear and anxiety during labour"

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as a service user),

Suffering from Post traumatic stress disorder due to childhood abuse I felt very scared and anxious about my delivery. Because of my past trauma I felt I was going to die whilst delivering my baby. Maame from Thurrock Inclusion helped me to overcome my fears during my EMDR sessions.  

Mrs Maame  was very kind and handled my situation gently as well as being an excellent professional. The sessions with her were very helpful and now I have the confidence I need to deliver my baby. 

Thank you so much for this excellent service.

Dear Alexandram,

Firstly, I would like to thank you for sharing your story with us. You have been so open with your personal story about your childhood and the fears that this brought up for you later in life, I am sure reading such an honest story will help so many others who may be feeling the same as how you felt before starting therapy.

Therapy sessions are a safe space for us to talk about events and experiences that have been difficult or traumatic for us. Whilst this can be extremely scary for clients to do, it sounds as though you made the very most of your sessions by sharing your fears and anxieties with Maame and I am so pleased to hear that Maame supported you in doing this.

EMDR therapy is often a new type of therapy for most clients, so thank you for sharing your sessions with others. You have enabled others to understand how EMDR may help them with their own past traumatic experiences, just as it has helped you.

It is incredible that you have developed your own confidence throughout therapy and are able to use this confidence when delivering your baby. We wish you the very best of luck with your future.

Take care.

Jade
