In her own works, A mom from the U.K. tells how MST turned a dark, negative place into “happy house.”
Listen to the mom in her own words below, or read the transcript.
We heard about MST through other people, but my son was too young, and it wasn’t possible. And then when he was old enough, we didn’t know whether we would get funding for it, but we did. We would have done anything at that point to try and make things right.
My son controlled the house. He was violent, incredibly violent. And we were becoming more and more submissive to his moods and basically could not function as a family anymore, and we’re incredibly unhappy, all of us, including my son. And we were very open to MST coming into the house, but we didn’t know what to expect at all.
When the therapist comes into your house, she’s not there to mend your child or mend you. She’s there to give you the tools to deal with your child. She starts to teach you. When we were going through some really rough times, she was very positive and just cared, gently pushing us along. She came down to our level every time to describe things to us, to help us. She never was negative, even in some of the darkest negative places you can get. Some people say, “You know, you get to a point where you don’t even want them near you because they’ve been so bad.” I even understand that, but actually, you do need to help them.
Yeah, you have to put work into it, but if you put the work in, your life becomes easier, so it’s not harder. Your life becomes easier because your child becomes happier, and by the end of it, you’re happy. So my son used to say, “The MST lady was making our house the happy house.”
