Phoebe, a 58 year old, married mother of three came to me after 7 months of her mother passing away. She had also lost her father a year before that.

She was very quietly spoken but did manage to share in our first session that she was still distraught over both of them and unable to function well for a length of time. Thoughts of both her parents would then crowd her mind.

Miranda is 40 years old, has never married but has recently met a guy and started a relationship. She works full time in retail.

In my first session with Miranda she shared that she was feeling stuck in life, lost, and like time was passing her by. Like she was no longer “living” life but rather in a holding pattern.

Delia is a 58 year old Senior Manager in Healthcare. She came to me after having been off work on sick leave for three days. She said she was dreading returning and believed she was suffering workplace stress. She had a very demanding job and worked on a shift roster.

In the first two sessions she outlined her symptoms and opened up about her feelings. She said she was in a constant state of exhaustion and “hated everything” about her job. She had physical symptoms of an upset stomach and was grinding her teeth at night and had a sore jaw.
