Between the ages of 20 to 35 I suffered from multiple chronic illnesses including IBS, Hyperthyroid, Adrenal Fatigue, Anxiety and ongoing neck injury I suffered a haemorrhage after the birth of my daughter. The Christchurch Earthquake on 22 February 2011 followed by my wedding to a fellow Police Officer 4 days later was the catalyst for change and no longer wanting to remain sick I went searching for answers. The secret of my wellness came when I noticed the illnesses I was plagued with became less and less as I focused on healing the trauma from my childhood including sexual abuse successfully overcoming the chronic illnesses by my late 30’s. I joined the NZ Police in 2006 and I specialised in Family Harm and Adult Sexual Assault. I trained in the healing modalities Reiki, Pranic Healing and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques. I use these practices regularly including yoga and meditation to prevent the onset of chronic illness and in times of stress, illness and injury allowing a quicker recovery time.
I took a holistic approach realising that to heal I needed to understand how to connect my heart mind body and soul – physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually and learnt how each of these four aspects played a role in the creation of my illness. Treating the whole of the person to focus on treating the cause of illness or illness will remain or return.
Unhealed trauma can stay dormant in the body and mainfest in the way of aches, pains, injury and illness. Trauma can vary in many ways and include – divorce, death, incarceration, mental illness and abuse of all forms within close family units. Children are particularly vulnerable as they have not yet developed the skills and emotional maturity to express and understand their emotions. Therefore, in order to stay safe, those emotions are buried and as Sigmund Freud once stated “Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways. We become closed – not only to people’s pain – but also their happiness”.
To start the healing process I had to go back to the beginning. I had to re-visit aspects of my childhood that had created trauma within my heart and mind. This became the journey because it is not something that is healed in 6 months. It is re-wiring the brain to think differently, it is training the emotions not to overtake, it is fuelling the physical body with nutritious food, exercise and sleep and it is learning to connect the spiritual body. https://themindsjournal.com/unmistakable-link-unhealed-trauma-illness/
