Not to long ago I wrote a post on how lost I felt with regards to long waiting lists in mental healthcare average of 1.5 years for specialized treatment to deal with some childhood trauma.
There have been some positive developments in this area:
after a consultation with the GP and the insurance company I am getting fast tracked to start on 14th of January. Already had the intake last week and feel like there is a good match with the specialist. Having finished my intensive program in 2022 I know it will be a difficult journey- but knowing how much I benefited in the past I honestly cannot wait unit I can get started. New treatment would consist of a combination of EMDR & DMT/Schema - so basically all I wanted!
for the first time ever, I have spoken with my own parents on this subject. They came to join me and pick up my kids from school to celebrate the 10th bday of my oldest. When an unexpected opening presented itself I grabbed it and told my parents what I had been going through, what I am still dealing with and how we as a family never learned how to talk about these sort of things. The reaction was +/- 70% I would had hoped for, but looking back so glad I made this move. As for my personally I would hope that my kids would never feel any barriers to discuss how they really feel.
Looking back at a very positive week!
