Hi. My name is Diana Shevchenko. I`m 29 years of age. I live in the city of Kiev. Right now I`m divorced from my spouse, with whom we all lived together for several years. However, as sometimes happens, our entire life turned into something horrible and I decided to leave. I am now raising a child by myself. I am employed as a waitress in a cafe to somehow provide for all of us. Psychologists` observations imply that a painful divorce may cause emotional injury. When it isn`t discovered in time rather than begun to take steps, then after a while it may grow into post-traumatic stress disorder. The person can have intrusive thoughts about the traumatic event, nightmares, fear and intense displays of emotion in reaction to the cause that reminds of this separation. Due to these concerns, I started working with a therapist I found at . Their psychologists had completed or were in training to be psychotherapists in a minimum of one of the following areas: gestalt therapy, psychoanalysis, cognitive behavioral treatment, EMDR, CBT, ORCT, Substance Abuse, story statute, client-centered psychotherapy, psychodynamic methods, systemic family treatment, emotional-focused treatment. I was in a rather severe illness, close to depression, and I just wanted someone`s help, because I couldn`t cope on my own. That is easier said than done. It is easier for people who believe they have their whole life ahead of them, that are standing firmly on their toes and living life to the fullest, rather than for people who have dedicated themselves to someone else. But anyhow, life is different and such a scenario can occur to anybody. Initially I frequently blamed myself for what happened and thought I was something different. After dealing with a therapist I understood this was not true and that by doing this I`d only make things worse. It`s a really difficult procedure to get out of such a connection not just physically but also mentally, but I`m on the ideal track and everything will work out for me.
