Debbie added she felt a persistent fear of abandonment throughout her life, which Face It aptly helped her deal with.

She said: “I think we all have a little area of clutter that’s nagging sometimes and it’s often hard to get rid of.
“Maybe this is my purge.
“I think I’ve solved a lot of those problems that were hanging on and I’m glad it’s sort of done.”
