I am a 70 year old woman who has been living with the unresolved effects of childhood trauma all my life. The main effects this was having on me were periods of my life where I was very overweight due to emotional eating, and a debilitating emotional trigger. I have been to many counsellors over the years and had found that the work we did together would only take me so far before I would experience physical symptoms like throat strictures, air gulping, inability to talk, sweating, total panic and fear. My body was shutting me down and this prevented me from going any deeper. It was then that I developed a debilitating trigger which was becoming exhausting to deal with. This presented itself as an intense emotional response to animals in MANY & VARIED SITUATIONS which I then perceived to be one of their entrapment, their fear, lack of control and choice with an inevitable outcome of cruelty against them.
Over time, this then presented me with additional multiple issues including restricting my ability to watch movies / TV and go out for a drive without a sense of panic and fear of seeing any animals, especially animals in a stock truck that potentially were on their way to be slaughtered. The sight of stock trucks always invoked an intense feeling of fear, panic of what was going to happen to them all accompanied by huge very hot large tears. It was so intense that it limited my ability to go anywhere in the car. My husband was very concerned and knew that I had tried to deal with my trauma without success and suggested that I may need to try NLP. I agreed, and it wasn't long after doing an internet search that we found Amanda, from which point my world changed!!
Over the years Amanda and I have gently worked through my issues and I found that I would be able to function for about 18 months and then I felt I would need a top up. This continued until I got to a point where I was so exhausted and fed up with dealing with these emotional episodes that I made some time to do some intense work with Amanda over a 2 day period. The end result, is that nearly one year on, I am feeling 'light', free and the most settled and content I have ever felt in my life. I am now down two dress sizes and still loosing weight. A life changing success!! My success story, has needed me to take some huge risks, commitment, trust and a strong belief that Amanda and the process would keep me safe. It works!! Thank you Amanda. I still worry about animals and don't like seeing stock trucks but the deep debilitating emotional response has gone. Thanks goes nowhere near the depth of gratitude I feel for your love and support to finally become free from living in a constant state of fear and panic.
