I am currently taking a medical leave of absence due to chronic fatigue of many years duration (15?).
I am using my training as a somatic psychotherapist while appreciating but putting aside my experience as a family physician.
I have been applying the principles presented on this website,
and using them to their fullest degree
as I explore the extent to which one can
work with emotions, trauma and attachment experiences
as a probable major contributor to disease.
The experience of being ill,
the process of working with it,
and the living with it day in and day out,
[as so many of you know through your own experiences with chronic illness],
is humbling to the extreme,
both in the sheer tenacity of the symptoms and in the remarkable degree to which the patterns, beliefs, and emotions lay hidden (and protected).
I continue to uncover links between past experiences, limiting beliefs, and current variations in my health
and things are moving.
The process is slow, unpredictable, and the outcome "unknowable," but I am encouraged.
And fascinated.
I am slowly regaining capacity and energy, and while it is a remarkably slow process, it is an illuminating one.
I am amazed at the level to which limiting beliefs have been incorporated into my physiology as well as my perspectives on life.
I am also regularly astounded with how resistant these patterns are to seeing the light of day.
I believe, more and more with every layer I work through (and there are many!),
that the mind, emotions, and physiology are inherently intertwined and that,
just as the patterns were learned,
they can also be unlearned.
These patterns can be unwound and my Self can discover
that it no longer needs to live in a learned mode that is no longer adaptive.
I hope to bring the growing bevy of new insights back to you someday.
I am taking full advantage of this challenge to see just how far it can take me
in my own learning and as a remarkable (if at times incredibly frustrating) learning opportunity
in how to walk the path of recovery from chronic illness.
Your emails and inquiries are welcome.
