Depression and phobia

Mira was suffering from an extreme phobic reaction to being separated from her husband, even for a short time. Although she only came for one session, these are comments left, with permission and courtesy of her husband “Me and Mira are in university now and she is doing amazingly. Her anxiety about me separating is still there but the boundary that we can push is much further away and is under much more control than even two months ago.
On hindsight we both think that even that one session with you really
helped. It didn’t cure anything but it did teach her that she is able to
control her anxiety. After she ‘realised’ that then things slowly became
better.
It seems like she is at the point now where it is OK for me to go off
and for her not to even know where I am going as long as I come back at the set time.
In short I think we do not realise how much you actually helped in that one session. Just by showing her that she CAN control it had meant she does control it.
Sometimes if her anxiety creeps up on her, we will kind of ‘chant’. It
sounds stupid but we both talk to it as such, telling it to go away,
that it can’t control her anymore (largely thanks to your help) and that seems to do the job for the most part although we have only actually had to do this once or twice.
So in short, I don’t think she needs any more sessions.
Thank you for your help”
