Life changing counselling at CedarOak Centre

By anonymous on 24/01/2013
Counselling with The CedarOak Centre has been life changing for me. Before counselling I was suicidal, depressed and struggling to cope on a day to day basis with my abortion. It had affected every aspect of my life and ruined many relationships with my family.

When I started counselling I was at rock bottom, but with the help of my counsellor I slowly and steadily managed to come to terms with my abortion, and speak openly about the baby I had lost and the situation surrounding my abortion.

Counselling allowed me to forgive myself, others and accept what had happened and I learnt tools to cope with my emotions.

I feel a different person now to the person I was when I started and I finally feel strong and emotionally stable enough to cope with life and the future.
