I reached out to the CCO when I had a total crisis of confidence caused by the menopause. I am a farmer’s wife, so live a very matter of fact down to earth kind of life, where my husband, although an all-round nice enough guy, shows more interest in the reproductive cycle of his ewe’s than he does to that of his wife.

Basically, everything became overwhelming, so much so that I felt that I couldn’t share how I was feeling because in the normal sphere of farming life, my emotions seemed insignificant when there are simply more pressing day to day matters to attend to. I understand now that this isn’t the correct mindset or the way to deal with problems. Seems so obvious, but at the time it wasn’t, so appreciate the direction and tools that I learned from my sessions with the CCO. I am now confident enough to understand my needs and feel worthy enough to put into practice a way to ensure that those needs are met.

Thank you.
