Years of overworking, putting the client’s needs before that of my family, left me feeling so depleted, my doctor classified me as suffering from acute work based stress.
Unable to make simple decisions, feeling agitated and emotional, plus inability to cope with noise made daily life difficult. All I wanted to do was walk the dogs, swim or run, any form of physical activity to balance the ache and pressure I felt in my head and body.
Completing online mood gym and stress management tools weren’t resolving the issue and desperate to return to “normality”, I recalled an article I had read about Dan.
As I wanted to avoid all forms of medication, my doctor agreed that spending some time with Dan could be helpful. Dan’s ability to actively listen within a calm environment enabled me to regain balance, perspective and calmed my inner turmoil.
Over time, as I regained functionality, the frequency of my sessions changed, yet when blip occurred, Dan was there, either in a meeting or at the end of the phone.
His involvement in my recovery and on-going support has been immeasurable. Work colleagues and clients, comment about how wonderful I look, and my doctor has categorised me as her star patient, requesting Dan’s contact details for future referrals.
