Been a while since I posted last, was hoping if anyone can point me in the best direction for counselling, without going down the GP route if possible . Life is stable, DS and I are making it work now STBXW is out of the picture but all this spare time has given me some time for some (perhaps overdue) reflection. Without going into a whole lot of detail, as a youth and as an adult I've experienced some quite traumatic events (as an adult both personally and in a professional capacity) that I now recognise I need some help dealing with.
