Life-changing support!
I received an abudance of support from Shoshana, she was readily available to answer all of my questions and provide help. My daughters have gone from waking up several times a night to sleeping through the night in the space of a few days.
I found the video calls to be really helpful, it gave us a chance to talk through everything in its entirety. We had in depth conversations, where I was able to explain my daughters’personalities. My eldest daughter is autistic and my youngest has had extreme separation anxiety since birth. It felt reassuring to have that 1 on 1 time with someone who understood both of their individual needs in depth. It was a huge emotional relief to have the support of a professional who was so reassuring. I felt understood in how hard it has been not sleeping for almost three years. At times it has felt like my struggle was invisible to those around me,it has been affirming to feel seen. I think the regular support from Shoshana also increased the confidence in myself to see this through.
Thank you so much Shoshana, this has quite literally changed my life for the better. I'm a better mum because of this programme. I'm more energised, positive, motivated, and wake up feeling ready to take on the day. Before starting the programme, I was waking up three times a night (on a good day). I would wake up thinking about getting back into bed later, I felt miserable and honestly didn't see how I could keep going on like this, especially as a single mum. I was constantly battling depression and anxiety. I had no appetite, some days my first meal would be at 5pm. I felt like a zombie on survival mode with no care for my own wellbeing. My daughters were also running on survival mode, my youngest used to have meltdown after meltdown, and we thought this was just her personality, but since she has started sleeping, she is like a different baby! She's peaceful, she's concentrating more, she's more independent. We have started doing more activities together, going on more trips out of the house, I've started exercising every day and caring for myself again.
