When I was 5 months pregnant, I was held up at gun point by 7 men who broke into my mother in law’s house. They forced all of us into the bedroom, tied our hands and feet up and then threw a blanket over us. Thankfully they just cleaned the house out and left, without seriously injuring anyone. I did not seek counselling, as I thought I was fine, but about a month later, some men stopped at my gate and wouldn’t leave. I had a complete melt down, crying hysterically. That’s when I realised, for my sake as well as the baby’s, that I needed to seek help. I had a few sessions with Cornelia and I cannot tell you the difference it made in my life. I thought I was fine, because on a conscious level, I felt fine, but I didn’t realise that the trauma affected my subconscious too. Cornelia helped me to deal with the issues I didn’t even realise I had. It is now over a year later and I have had no re-occurrence of my melt down, but everyone else who was there that day and did not go seek counselling of some sort still have emotional problems. After that, Cornelia also helped me deal with some other unresolved emotional issues from my childhood, as well as current issues in my marriage. She also helped me with my post-partum depression after I gave birth. She helps you to look at things from a different perspective, rather than just sitting there and letting you waffle on about your problems to no end. She gets you to focus on the positive of each situation, as you obviously can’t change your past, so instead she gets you to rather change the way you look at it. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who has suffered a trauma or is suffering from depression and they just don’t know why or if you just need to give your chaotic life a “face-lift”
