ADOPTION

Matthew was adopted at 2 days old. And had mostly ignored this fact for 40 odd years until he started to unpack his anxieties after a divorce forced the issue. Some of these anxieties were indeed related to his adoption story to his surprise. The reality is that no baby should be separated from mother during the time when the baby is still mentally part of the mother psychologically. For most adoptees there is a range of missing parts adoption brings up that all end up searching for. And in this search we can all expect a roller coaster of emotions that are from all those years ago, or indeed how life was since.

Matthew has a range of programs to deal with issues such as rejection, loss, secrecy, mattering, Shame/Guilt, Grief (unprocessed), mastery and control, identity.
