"Survive has given me the skills to work through my memories"

A survivor of child sexual abuse, Jane’s* waking hours were flooded with fragmented memories and flashbacks. When she did sleep, she was tormented by horrific nightmares. After accessing trauma therapy and EMDR psychotherapy, Jane was able to come to terms with what had happened, move forward and thrive – even having her first swim in the sea since she was a child. She is looking forward to getting back to work.
