I’ve been working with a lady who has lived with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for many years, and we’ve now had four hypnotherapy sessions together.
After our last session, she told me she’d started to notice more energy.
And of course, that sounds like exactly what we want.
But our work isn’t simply about turning the energy dial UP.
It’s also about helping her feel safe with that energy.
Because when you’ve lived for years having to carefully manage what you do, suddenly having a bit more energy can bring its own uncertainty…
"Can I do this?
Am I going to pay for it later?
How do I know when enough is enough?"
So today, we went back into her subconscious mind
We worked with things like safety, trust, balance and motivation, but importantly, we also turned UP the part of her that can notice when she's fone too much and she needs to rest
It’s not about doing doing doing
And it’s not about being frightened of doing anything either.
It’s about gradually building a relationship where she can listen to her body, respond to it and begin to trust herself again.
For me, this is such an important part of nervous-system work.
Sometimes progress isn’t about doing more and more.
Sometimes it’s about your body beginning to learn:
I can have energy AND still look after myself.
I can move AND I can rest.
I don't have to choose between living and feeling safe. 💛
And after just four sessions, seeing those first little shifts beginning to happen is absolutely gorgeous. ### 🩷
