Suddenly hit by PTSD with Danielle Allen
Danielle Allen is a mum to three children. Her eldest son Louis was born with a congenital heart condition called Coarctation of the aorta.

Suddenly six years later, and following the traumatic experience of Louis undergoing heart surgery  at 10 days old, Danielle experienced what she describes as a big black cloud which came from nowhere. 
 
She describes the profound impact that had her and the subsequent diagnosis of Obsessive Anxiety Disorder and PTSD.
