Hello I had 21 session with Dan Kolunbinski last year, when I started my mind was occupied 90% of the time with intrusive thoughts, nightmars and flashbacks. Anyway when I decided to see a private therapist beause my psychiatrist in the new CMHT I am in thought I would not be able to cope and so would not refer me. I looked Dan up and was that he was now a private therapist.
I have known Dan for 5 years when I first meet from when my GP in the Primary Mental Health team. He was very helpul and by talking to him he referred me to the commmunity mental health team as he thought I might be suffering from PTSD - I did not know much about PTSd then and thought it was just something soliders got. I now know diferent.
I contacted him and 21 sessions later and I have no nightmares and flashbacks and my intrusive thoughts are reduce to 1 to 2 a week and the intensity is so much less.
It was the hardest thing I did and I felt like quitting 3 sessions into the therapy, but I am glad that I didnt.
I feel better now than I did 10 years ago before I was Raped, I am still pushing myself and have started to teach myself DBT & today found out that my co-ordinator has recommended me for a course that looks like it is DBT.
I have been diagnosed for while but only found out in the last month that they have diagnosed me with emotional unstable personality disorder, from reading about it I disagree but I do have problem with emotions and so have decided to attend this 20 session course.
I am proud of myself for the first time in years!!
