I’m 34. I survived severe neglect, abuse and trauma during childhood up until my early/mid 20ties.
I have struggled with my mental and physical health, had recurring flashbacks and suicidal thoughts, experience severe anxiety being outside my home, in public spaces with people, leading to isolation.
Over the last 5 years I have spent time blocks of 3 - 4 hours with Alexandra, her dogs and horses in nature, gradually building trust and confidence. Alexandra supported me to interact with her, the horses, negotiating surroundings, situations, people and teaching me to ride. We also used ritual, art, energy work, EFT, sound and other forms of healing.
Alexandra’s presence, sensitivity and consistency helped me to feel safe enough to relax my body and release tension. Our time together enabled me to find some breathing space and respite from my situation. With her support I have been able to tackle challenging situations, action steps to resolve the past. I have grown in confidence.
