TREATING AN OLD INJURY

One day Alice phoned me and asked if I thought that Rebirthing would be useful to her. She described the nightmares that had been increasing, that she was afraid to go to bed because sleep merely brought fear, the flashbacks that she was having during waking hours now .

So I thought for a moment and said yes. It was perfectly suited to healing the trauma that she had received.

We began to work with her breathing to enable her to revisit her accident time. She worked superbly and unflinchingly through painful, frightening memories and made speedy progress. One of the healing things that we did was quite simple: I asked her exactly what her injuries had been.

Alice also attended the (now defunct NHS) pain clinic run in Oxford. She was asked to join a research project which she welcomed and was able to work further with some of the issues that we had raised, all the time helping to heal the physical, mental and emotional scars that she had. It is common for a recent injury to spark off unfinished business from previous traumatic injury. She worked hard to present her case and her employer and the medical staff accepted it.

When I spoke to her this week she told me that she feels that she has really begun her healing journey this year, that there is still more to do but that she is happy with the steps that she has taken and the direction that she is moving in. She has come such a long way in the last year and she wouldn’t have been able to do this without the tools that we had developed, used to address the history and allow her at last to come into the present.

She still has pain and lack of use from the latest injury at work, and still comes for remedial massage. She is planning to find work using her years of experience in some suitable way, within her physical capacity.
