I had experienced a string of traumatic events dating back almost 10 years. Following the most recent of these, I had been dealing with low moods, a sense of loss, grief and anger which were manifesting through dreams leading to acute panic attacks in the night, leaving me unable to breathe.I reached out to Mark and felt at ease immediately. After an initial fact finding call, we have not dwelt on the past but instead taken positive action towards the future. This was exactly what I needed, as the source of the trauma could not be changed so revisiting them over and over again was not helpful. What I was looking for was a way to move forward positively- which is exactly what Mark has provided.The whole process was incredibly helpful. I completed some sessions face to face and others virtually, both of which worked extremely well. I've taken a lot away from my time with Mark. I think my highlight is not so much a specific thing, but more the fact that I now have a large range of techniques at my disposal in order to deal with things. This means that I have the right tools to face a number of situations. It was also incredibly helpful to tap into Mark's wider knowledge on nutrition and how that links into mood. The wellness test is extremely informative.I have now completed my sessions and feel significantly better than when I started, both mentally and physically. I feel much brighter in myself, and have not had any panic attacks in almost a month. Prior to the first session I was experiencing about 3-4 per week. I'm also feeling much less lethargic and whilst exercise had recently been a bit of a plod, I'm now able to start (and want!) to push myself a bit. Indeed, on the way to my final session I signed up to run a half marathon later in the year.Two of my closest friends who I recently met described me as a completely different person to the one that they had spoken to prior my sessions. They felt that I was returning to my old self.I am feeling optimistic about the future. I know there will be bad days, but I feel like I have the tools to deal with those now. But I am determined that, through the techniques I've learned, that I will continue to heal.
