I would like start off by saying I am a very lucky person with a loving family and group of friends, but I have never been very open to talking. Perhaps due to embarrassment or shame or guilt, I had decided do keep certain aspects of my life very private, even from those closest to me. Over the last few years, things began to slowly unravel and I found myself in state of being that was completely debilitating. Fortunately for me, I was sign posted to RASAC in Winchester 

I had a fantastic counsellor who helped me through a very difficult and unpleasant time in my life. It has been a process of healing by revisiting past places which at one time felt unimaginable. It has been raw and unnerving but finally I accepted ownership of what had happened to me and was able to let go of my guilt and shame.
