Separation Anxiety Symptoms

Separation Anxiety can be characterized by some of the following, the CBT Recovery Programme will be tailored around these individual symptoms, working towards a secure sense of self, independence, autonomy and self development.

Symptoms of Anxiety in Relationships

Excessive fear of being alone and abandoned without the attachment figure being close by
Distress when separated from the subject of attachment, a loss of time and rationality when unable to make contact by phone, email or text. This state can worsen if the partner fails to respond instantly. The anxiety will tend to ease when some contact with the partner has been made and there is an immediate return to a state of normality and calm.
Persistent, excessive worrying about losing the subject of attachment, fearing that they maybe in a car/coach/train accident if they are late home
Persistent fear or reluctance to go to sleep without being near the attached partner, an inability to fall asleep unless reassured of the commitment in the relationship
Masking how much you feel, “act as if” your not really in love – pretending to be casual about your love, yet feel it as an intense hunger
Negative thoughts, erratic agitated behaviour, suspicious thoughts if partner is late home
Irrational fear that a significant partner will never come home again without any prior argument or dispute
Fear that however good the relationship, it will end at some point, never to see the one you are attachment to again

By practising Helen’s techniques learned in the Breakthrough Sessions, individuals and couples can continue to develop an open, honest and healthy relationship, free of the encumbrances of fear and separation anxiety whatever stage of the love relationship, as the programme looks at repetitive patterns through past relationships as a whole, and knowing this creates the possibility of transformation and future change.

I wouldn’t have got through those awful times without you.. And that really is the truth! Never underestimate that what you can do for people is really quite wonderful.

In only three sessions with Helen, I felt like I gained a clearer more positive perspective to why I felt so insecure in my relationship -she encouraged me to take a step back from what I’d been doing and focus on what I could do differently to move forward. I am so much more confident now and my partner and I feel far more open and connected to one another, a very real and honest experience.

Helen really does transform people’s lives….in a few sessions something has changed in me, her warmth and exceptionally responsive engagement is unique and like no other.A highly recommendable experience.

Helen is a star – my saviour and my rock – and to her I owe my mental peace and happiness. And that is no exaggeration.

Helen is a very effective psychotherapist whose warmth, knowledge and sensitivity combine to enable her to analyse the most difficult of problems. Her professional integrity is second to none, making her ideally placed to provide advice and structure for her clients, without judgement. This approach enabled me to tackle my own challenges with honesty. I would recommend her without hesitation.

After receiving shocking news about my health and then undergoing extensive life threatening surgery, I thought I had coped well. However, it wasn’t until the full extent of my experiences had sunk in that I began to be plagued by nightmares and dreaded going to sleep. Helen helped me deal with the traumas I’d faced; her support was invaluable.

Aylesford

Helen helped me – and my immediate family too – through a traumatic time in my life where I could see no way forward. Her unfailing interest in me and my situation, over a period of months, coupled with her almost magical ability to make me understand things more clearly, really did pull me through. Helen was a rock for both me and my family and we are eternally grateful to her.

Helen helped my husband and I to begin to communicate some of the underlying disappointments that we have harboured for many years, too her we give thanks to feeling much closer to one another

I want to express my appreciation for the insight that you provided me with a few weeks back, you helped me understand the difference between love and jealousy, and I can begin to understand how I kept repeating the same patterns in my relationships, thank you, something has definitely changed.

Sevenoaks

I am very grateful for the counselling sessions that you have shared with my wife and I, we have never done anything like this before but I would certainly recommend it to anyone, now if there is an atmosphere between us, we have found a way to “handle” our conflict, this is very new to us both but it seems to work.
