What women say about building self-esteem, self-confidence and being able to cope

Kim

‘Therapy has made me look at myself in a different way for the first time in my life. Having always thought of myself as bad, to blame, ugly, now, having spent time in counselling I look at myself and think I am worth a lot; I am not to blame; I am a good person; it’s ok to say no.’

‘I have had the chance to explore the difficulties I have faced and still face going forwards. I have gained a great deal of insight into what caused the abuse and I now feel I have broken the circle.’

Emma

‘Never did I think that I would need counselling. I have found this experience very daunting/could see no light at the end of a long dark awful tunnel but with the help, guidance and support of the wonderful staff at My Sisters Place, I have now found the courage and know how to keep walking forward into my new life. I may experience blips in the future but feel better equipped to keep moving forward.’

Mandy

What women say about their opportunity to talk about their experiences and emotions

‘It gave me an opportunity to discuss issues I hadn’t talked over with others. I have reflected and worked on these thoughts and feelings. I have become clear-headed and stronger.’

Rebecca

‘I have opened up and discussed things I had forgotten. I can now feel emotions – it has unlocked them and I can laugh and cry. I understand I am not responsible for others’ behaviour. I understand my reactions in situation.’

Susan

‘The therapy has enabled me to look at past events and to share my thoughts and feelings which have been bottled up for 50 years.’

Jean

‘Coming each week has helped me to talk to someone, make sense of what has happened to me and to begin to understand why I have thought and reacted in the way I have. I literally thought that I was losing my mind. Each part of my journey has been explained to me and I have been given strategies and tools to help me to deal with the different emotions that I have experienced.’
