Somehow I held it together, but on the way home, waves of depression hit me. I was sent to a psychiatrist, who referred me to a hypnotherapist. She identified I’d been the victim of work bullying for over three years, my self-esteem eroded. Hypnotherapy was incredible. She set up a series of scenarios for me to draw strength as needed. The effect was a revelation. Riding home from the first session, I took a wrong ..read more
