The root cause...

If you've been plagued for years struggling with fatigue, gut issues, brain fog, or chronic symptoms that just won't shift then I hear you and I have been there!

I had most of the above plus an unhealthy and very toxic lifestyle. I had also had taken every pill and potion to supress and numb the pain so I could drive through it and keep pushing. Mix that with tons of suppressed emotions from past negative experiences, chronic stress and dysregulation it was not a pretty picture.

The suppression and numbing came from never wanting to feel because it was so bloody awful. I was fearful and riddled with anxiety, I could spend hours in my head going round in circles and catastrophising.

My body was screaming too. It was angry, inflamed and raw. It was stuck and I felt trapped in it. I was tired, frazzled and in repeating cycles of burnout.

I had been stuck in fight/flight for as long as I could remember, I hadn't found any ability to relax or feel safe unless I had a drink, a packet of fags, coffee or junk food.

I had the worst coping strategies and my default mechanism day to day were to work and hard. I was a workaholic too.

So my body finally began screaming. One huge flare I had, I didn't listen at all. By the time I got to the Consultant he told me I had what is called a hypopyon. This is where an accumulation of white blood cells or pus in the anterior chamber of the eye is found. This chamber is the fluid-filled space between the cornea and the iris. It's a sign of inflammation and not a disease in itself but a symptom of underlying eye diseases.

What came after were lots of injections and eye drops and lots of Consultants umming and ahhing about how interesting it was to be so young and have this. Not nice.

I like to think my body and the Universe were conspiring and saying "C'mon Em, pay attention for God's sake!"

Each flare slowed me down, so it was doing it's job, but I can be stubborn. I started, somewhere in the midst of the chaos. I tried everything throughout the years. Detoxes, coffee enemas, mindset, restrictive diets, acupuncture, ceremonies, retreats, fasting, the list is endless.

I was trying to fix the reaction, the responses in my body. I wasn't looking at what truly lay underneath. I had learned to manage stress better, I made lifestyle changes but each time something extra stressful happened I was back there again and coping with the same mechanisms as I did before. I was killing myself slowly.

I changed an awful lot over the years of learning and began looking even deeper after I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in my early forties. Enough was finally enough.

I looked at the whole picture. Diet. Exercise. Sleep. I set goals, I took more time out and I explored, learned and trained in a number of different modalities.

It all brought me to yoga, meditation, deeper into my Reiki journey and finally Integral Eye Movement Therapy and The Root Cause Practice. Suddenly everything made sense and knitted together. Not only for me but for my clients.

The sense of peace, ease and release from these techniques, particularly IEMT was amazing. I had no symptoms or signs of any active autoimmune disease and the anxiety, mental spiralling, catastrophising and constant highly emotional states started to disappear.

My nervous system could begin to relax. I felt calmer, more at peace, easier with myself and my body. I felt fully connected and able to deal, sit with and resolve the strong emotions.

If you want the same. If you've done all the detoxes, gut resets, fasts, enemas, deep purging ceremonies then it might be start to take the journey inward.

The causes of many of our symptoms lie in our past experiences and often are exacerbated by the need to supress all of our unresolved emotions.

I thought my states of stress were just "normal" for a long time in my late teens and early twenties. I had learned from others maladaptive coping mechanisms like alcohol, food and total repression. You are not alone.

You are certainly not broken. Sometimes, you just need a helping hand at the beginning to get things flowing.

If you would like to start the journey to feeling better, becoming more strong and resilient then drop me a line and we can have a chat.
