Guest guest Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Many years ago I entered a clinical trial for a new medication that turned out to be the tranquilizer Xanax. My body reacted to it as a poison and I was sick on it and too sick to get off. When I finally did it took years to recover. Now at 18 years with total healthy living a series of stress has put me back into the exact same symptoms for 22 months and no sign of recovery - I a clinical psychologist and used to supporting other people so it is hard to ask for help and support - I am totally disabled and barely hanging on. Were it not for a wonderful wife I might not be. I am looking to join others challenged on a healing path and asking for any positive energy or healing words anyone has to offer. I am often to sick to get on the computer but can be reached at this E- mail: editor (editor at whole-living dot org) Thank you for taking time to read my post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I am so sorry you're going through this! My first thought is wondering if EFT would help. Have you heard of that? emofree.com This simple procedure helps me with all kinds of things -- as long as I get around to doing it... Maybe 20 years ago, I took just a few pills of lorazepam for anxiety. Immediately and for a couple years after that, the muscles in my throat constricted painfully. Or the muscles in the front of my throat -- didn't close off my trachea or anything; it was like an extreme physical symptom of anxiety, sort of, even when I was not the least anxious. That was enough to make me shy away from ANY pharmaceutical.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 As a psychotherapist myself I know it is hard for me to ask for help and I think that is part of the journey to surrender. We are no different than our clients only trained. I use EMT tapping for anxiety with my clients. It is phenomenonal. I learned it from a small book from the library. The man is Friederlander I believe. He is a psychologist or psych from the East Coast and it is SO simple for anxiety. It is DEFINITELY worth the money for the book. I used to use EMDR for years and find this MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE. I have used EFT and like this much better, so SIMPLE. I am glad you asked so you can help yourself and then share with your clients.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Hello Angeluna, Would you please explain more about this EMT, like the full name of it and other details. I could not find any accurate information and I am interested. Thanks, Lucia --- On Tue, 12/30/08, sara peters <angeluna95122 wrote: > I use EMT > tapping > for anxiety with my clients.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 HI there-i know your pain-had a turn of depression and anxiety a few years ago-it got so bad i ended up doing the worse to relieve myself of the pain -they had me on anti depressants for only 3 months and i am still suffering side effects some 3 yrs later-however i decided to treat myself- ( not so sure it right for every one )but  try a few things as a suppliment---look at what you are eating---everything that goes into the body effects it including the things you think are calming you eg alcohol and tobacco-that was not my problem but i had a good doc that believed in and supportrd natural therapies--i got onto St johns wort--- fish oil- magnesium and zinc- also ginko- a herb or leaves that support memory-i was so f' up that i couldn't recall what year it was and i had weeks of not knowing  what i was really doing-just trying to get thru the day was difficult---i was lucky enough to know a bit about nutrition so read up even more and found out i knew alot but there is allways more to know.       You may think u r eating well but infact it is im balanced diet---so learn----also drink plenty of water-body and brain can not function properly with sluggish system, exercise -even if it is only ten mins per day-it is most essential-try EFT-it is great- go to meditation classes and if need be change your life style-i know that is easier said than done but set the wheels in motion if u r not happy-limit tea, coffee and most of all sugar -it is a poison and will only harm you-use limited amounts and try stevia as a substitute-it is found- in white powder form but much cheaper as a crushed herb- Take up some small classes to entertain yourself-change the ambience of your life--------Ps if you are in your forties to fifties and are a big meat eater- i would suggest a 3 day apple fast every 6 wks to unclogg the system- meat and toxins build up and are not good for your emotional state--- eat lots of fiber-get a massage, sauna etc and take up short lazy strolls on beach or in the country. Good Luck --- On Wed, 31/12/08, sara peters <angeluna95122 wrote: sara peters <angeluna95122 Re: Re: Damaged By Medication Received: Wednesday, 31 December, 2008, 12:50 AM As a psychotherapist myself I know it is hard for me to ask for help and I think that is part of the journey to surrender.
