Showing results for "Emma" in Mental Health

Trauma left me anxious, hypervigilant, and depleted. I thought it was "just who I was," until I discovered the truth: a dysregulated nervous system is not a permanent identity. It's a state — and states can change. With compassion, knowledge, and small daily practices, you can begin to heal. This book blends science with lived experience — but above all, it is written from a trauma-informed place.

Getting stuck in a big black cloud of despair and hopelessness where you feel isolated and lonely can seem eternal if not terminal. You have no energy and you've lost interest in everything, even life itself sometimes. You want to find a cure and you've tried everything but nothing works. You just can't find the way out. But it doesn't have to be like that.

As a therapist, Cristina knows it's vital to keep her clients at a professional distance. That is until she meets new client Leon. Charming. Seductive. Dangerous. Leon comes to her grieving after the death of his married lover, Michelle. A woman Cristina realises used to be her client. As they work through his feelings in session after session in close proximity, ignoring her attraction to Leon is at first difficult...and soon impossible. But as she unravels the truth about his affair with Michelle, one thing becomes clear. Michelle's death was no accident. And Leon is involved.
