When I was diagnosed with FND, I learned that Cognitive Behavior Therapy is a helpful tool in overcoming FND symptoms. After arriving home from the hospital, finding a talk therapist was one of my highest priorities, if not THE highest. I wasn’t able to drive, I could barely walk, and processing anything cognitively was incredibly difficult. Saying 2-3 sentences at a time left me completely exhausted. You can imagine what a task it was to visit several behavioral health facilities as my husband and I searched for a therapist. I remember trying to walk up some stairs to a particular clinic and it feeling akin to just giving birth or running a marathon.
I was hammered. I was exhausted. I was depleted, both mind and body.
After several discouraging visits and learning that availability was scare, we began reaching out to friends and family that might have connections with a CBT therapist.
This is how I found Pam Kuykendall at Calm Waters Counseling and EMDR, LLC.
My time working with Pam changed my life.
I began visiting with Pam 1-2 times a week. Through my hard work with Pam, I began forging new neuro pathways. EMDR was particularly influential in my healing.
It is my feeling that God will connect us to a particular person for a particular reason at a particular time. I believe this is was the case with Pam.
