When I had my first consultation with Andrea I had severe itching all over my body due to eczema. I was having difficulty to sleep and was feeling very uncomfortable and agitated. Andrea gave me 4 doses of medication in total and advised me that the itching could get worse before it gets better and to be aware of any issues or emotions coming up. When I took the first dose, the itching was reduced to minimum, and I had a good sleep and felt relief from the continued scratching and agitation. After two days the itching started but it was not as bad as before. After I had the 2nd dose the itching continued but the intensity was greatly reduced. It also spread in other areas including the under arm. Simultaneously I was becoming more aware of the emotions that were coming up, such as anxiety, fear, frustration, agitation and anger. When I took my 3rd dose of medication the itching was reduced considerably, and I noticed my skin was renewed especially on my arms and legs. The itching had almost stopped, and I was feeling almost like normal. However it came on and off, and emotionally I was feeling restless and agitated but didn’t know why. That’s when I took my last dose of medication after consultations with Andrea and this brought a lot of emotions and pain which was subtle to the surface.
It was related to the pain and trauma I had in my childhood that I had forgotten about! The pain was so intense that I had to remind myself and be aware that this was in the past and not present, as it came up to the surface to be released. The medication helped the buried past traumatic experience to come up to the surface for my awareness. Until then I couldn’t work out what it was that was making me feel stuck, agitated and restless. I felt so much better and happier having released the trauma and self-sabotage. After that I was able to step forward and be able to express and share my creativity and interests with others.
I have come a long way, and it is still work in progress for me and I may seek Andrea’s help and support if necessary in the future. I would like to say Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, to Andrea for all your support and help, without which I would not have been able to see and heal the deep trauma that was hiding under the surface! It has made a huge difference in my health and my well being. I am so grateful to have had that support. We would all heal so much faster and with ease if we could combine these alternative therapies with having the awareness of what is going on in our body both physically and emotionally.
