CASE STUDY 2010

I have been a single Mum since my husband left, with no warning, when our son was three weeks old.
My world should have caved in, but responsibility for a tiny life meant I soldiered on and vowed that James would be affected, emotionally and practically, as little as possible. So I took the shock, hurt and anger, boxed it up and buried it somewhere deep inside me.

When James was four months old, I took a job in Corporate Training and following rapid promotion, found myself Operations Director with a large team, large budget and constant travel.
I actually managed very successfully until James was six when I started to find it increasingly difficult to summon the energy and good humour to deal with life.
Challenges at work began to feel overwhelming, life held little joy and any energy I had was reserved for James. When it became clear that I couldn’t shake the black cloud that followed me everywhere, I knew I was depressed.

Thank goodness for Lindy.

After my initial session, when the work Lindy did allowed me to stop subconsciously blaming and punishing myself, we spent time looking at each aspect of my life and identifying what is important to me.
Lindy’s methods focussed me, took the emotion, confusion and self-pity out, and introduced clarity, hope and self-approval.
As a result, I am re-training as a teacher, I see much more of James and crucially, I am happy...thanks to Lindy.
