Case Notes

 

Overcoming Acute Anxiety  & Depression      When Brenda* walked through the door of the Bioenergy Healing Clinic she was shaking from the tremor that engulfed her entire body. She would experience this 24/7. She could barely complete her patient’s form, as she couldn’t steady her hand. Brenda now 61 had experienced acute anxiety since the age of seventeen. Over the years she would pop in and out of the heightened levels of symptoms, however for the last 3 weeks it had peaked beyond anything she had experienced before.   Over the years Brenda had seen various psychiatrists. She spent time at the Priory and Charterhouse Clinics, tried acupuncture and EFT but none of the treatments had offered her a sustained improvement.   She had been on a concoction of medication including: Zopiclone a hypnotic used for insomnia; Atenolol and Lisinopril for blood pressure; Flupentixol an antipsychotic drug; Sertraline an antidepressant; and Lofepramine an antidepressant.   Brenda was caught up in a cycle of acute anxiety and depression. Her symptoms often came without warning. They included: anxiety attacks, fear phobia, panic attacks, tremor, grinding of teeth (Bruxism), depression, couldn’t get out of bed, tinnitus, fear of noise, loss of appetite, unable to focus on reading, gastro reflux, absent minded, nightmares, poor motor control, inability to drive, unable to function in day-to-day life and running the home.   As you can see from her history Brenda was unable to get on with day-to-day responsibilities and tasks. Everything was an uphill struggle and most things were beyond her reach.   Initially when Brenda started Bioenergy Healing treatment she came for weekly sessions. Each week she experienced slight but positive shifts. What was to transpire was that each shift she made was at a pace that she was able to cope with, which meant that she wasn’t overly challenged and most importantly the shifts were sustained. It didn’t mean she didn’t have her ups and downs, but what was apparent as each week went by was that the good days outnumbered the bad ones.   From the first Bioenergy Healing Treatment session and as each week went by her tremor reduced. By October her body and voice was stilled. Other shifts included: reduction of anxiety, ability to feed her dogs and clean her home, started to read the newspaper (previously unable to take in what she was reading), ability to cook, improvement in her handwriting, standing for longer periods, eating more of a meal, more sociable, able to visit her daughter, to go out for a drink, less worries about her daughter, improvement in sleeping, undertake simple tasks of washing up, more involvement and interaction with her grandson, reduction in grinding of teeth, less forgetful, improved motor controls, improved co-ordination,  increased confidence, less frightened, started to drive again, more able to entertain and increased coping mechanism with daughter’s house move…   Then in January 2008 her partner had a heart attack. This crisis should have sent her into a spiralling decline of anxiety and depression. However, because she had already shifted so far forward her coping mechanisms had kicked in and she held herself together. Admittedly she had made a slight slip back but this would have been expected under the circumstances. She resumed treatment on a bi-weekly basis in February, as she was unable to leave her partner’s side for the preceding month.   Brenda still continues to have her bi-weekly Bioenergy Healing Treatment so as to continue her level of improvement so that she can enhance her ability to function without any concern for her past symptoms. What Brenda has achieved in the last year is so fundamentally important to her being able to enjoy life to its fullest. Her investment is just a fraction of the 44 years she has been held back by her debilitating and long-lasting symptoms.   For the last 3 months Brenda has strived forward. In her words she “appreciates every good moment and experience that she has” and  “she is not dwelling on underlying doubts anymore”.   As you will see from the chart below Bioenergy Healing Treatment has enabled  Brenda to make major shifts in respect to all aspects of her life. The chart scores are based on her feedback calculated from 0 (low) to 10 (high).

Why was Bioenergy Healing Effective   Brenda had already spent many a year doing the talk therapy but had decided that she needed an approach that would ultimately enable her to move forward without revisiting the past. Brenda was recommended to try Bioenergy Healing as the treatment has the affect of releasing memory patterns without any cognitive therapy.   A key aspect to the Bioenergy Healing technique is the way the scanning technique is able to pinpoint the root cause of her symptoms rather than just treating the symptoms. It’s what we call the ‘Jigsaw Affect’. We scan the body, which reveals the primary blockage. Then using the Bioenergy Healing hands-on/off techniques to treat it, allowing the first piece of the jigsaw to slot into place. Thereafter we re-scanned her body treated the new primary point and the next piece of the jigsaw slotted into place, and so on.   This approach meant that we didn’t decide on treating her symptoms based on the severity, age or priority that Brenda or the practitioner determined. Neither did she have a textbook treatment based on her ‘illness’. Instead the whole treatment process was tailored to her and how her symptoms resonate in her body. Ultimately she didn’t get caught up in the issues, the people, the past, the frustrations or the fears.   Each session she made a shift forward at the pace her body and mind were able to process the treatment. This form of re-wiring the brain is a way of releasing memory patterns and enhancing neuron communication that caused a shift in her perception of her world and what she previously perceived as a conflict or issue.   On another level it is possible to defragmentate your body’s connective network, removing the chaos and bringing about a level of order.    As your perception starts to widen or shift, then there is less internal dialogue and debate going on in your mind i.e. shall I do this or not; is it good or bad; yes or no, positive or negative. As the clarity clicks in along with the focus your instinctual awareness increases, bringing stillness to your brain.   This level of clarity and focus increases your ability to adapt… but without compromise. So what you end up with is more issues going over your head rather than resonating as a conflict or trauma in your mind and body triggering Depression and emotional / psychological     *The client’s name has been replaced in order to protect her privacy.
