Have you or do you know of someone who needs my help?
This condition has confounded the medical profession since medical tests don't find anything significant - yet the sufferer knows how tired they feel and end up getting passed from pillar to post around various people from GP to CBT therapist to nutritionist etc trying to find answers. The "system" disjointed and just not working for you. There's more myths than knowledge around - what used to be termed as "yuppie flu" - and sufferers can often be misdiagnosed or simply dismissed altogether. The longer this goes on for the more you're likely to just become habituated to your illness, try and work round it and start believing this is just how it is - which can lead to a loss of hope and a deep sadness.
The truth is - this condition spans all modalities and help will only come long term when all the different aspects of mind,body and spirit are taken into consideration and treatment is conducted holistically.
Trained by Jenny Lynn of www.openmindtherapy.co.uk/chronicfatigue who has been successfully been treating CSF/ME for over 10 years and the foremost therapist in this field; I am able to use her knowledge, research and insights to help you too unravel and unlock your CFS/ME.
An understanding of how you developed your condition is the first step. Your unique experiences and beliefs shapes who you are and where you feel most comfortable in the world. We'll look at those underlying core beliefs that drive your needs and which have been compromised and causal in your symptoms.
Hypnosis has a part of play in this journey as often those beliefs have been buried below conscious awareness although they play such a pivotal role in your day to day behaviour. Unlocking what is keeping the illness in place is but one aspect. The straw that broke the camels back is often where someone might focus but that's a red herring. Your immune system has been struggling behind the scenes for a lot longer though .Your subconscious anxieties and conflicts firing off adrenalin in an attempt to live up to the beliefs you feel so strongly about. Sufferers are often very conscientious people who gain their self worth from what they do for others and in doing so end up running themselves into the ground. Sound familiar ? Only once you're ill this need to support and help others is even more difficult which results in more anxiety which in turn becomes a downward spiral you can't get out of.
So how to recover ?
I will look not only at your emotional and mental wellbeing but also your physical beliefs which are stored in your body during your lifetime. 100% attention can be focused on your unique story so we can start to discover what's happening and how you can regain control of your symptoms and identify the causes to address to provide long term relief. Nutrition is also covered to support your road to recovery.
