Healing 101

Part of the way we were abused as children was to destroy our self esteem so we thought we were valueless. This made us easier to control. Its important for us to heal and:

Learn to value ones self.

Learn to set boundaries.

Learn to say no when needed.

Learn to feel safe in our bodies.

Learn to feel safe around others.

Learn to be around those who are good for us.

Because we are used to being harmed we can fall into the trap of attracting those who are like what we are used to rather than making the effort to change. These things take time and its a step by step process but every step of healing has a wonderful domino effect and increases our enjoyment of ourselves, others and life..

What has helped me

1. Cognitive (mind) healing modalities

Start reading and get informed. Also plenty of videos online and podcasts.

Try different modalities and see what works for you at the time.

Become familiar with different modalities and try different therapists.

Transactional analysis is a good start - eg I'm OK youre OK, and looking at

parent adult child relationships.

Psychotherapy. If you are not used to speaking it helps you get used to it.

I started with this but once I had mastered talking about myself I then

progressed onto other modalities.

Dissociative therapy. I had a diagnosis of dissociative identity disorder (DID)

and I found this really helpful learning how to love and integrate my

fragmented parts.

IFS Internal family systems. I haven't done this but talked to many friends

who have and found great benefit. It is similiar to dissociative work in its

structure.

for overcoming Mind Control & Ritual Abuse

2. Body (somatic) healing Modalities

It's not just our consciousness that carries trauma but our body does as well.

Psychologist Dr Peter Levine - Book - Waking the tiger: healing trauma.

Psychiatrist Bessel Van der Kolk - Book - The body keeps the score.

Psychologist Dr Gabor Mate - Book - the Myth of normal.

Alexander technique - Our trauma pulls our body out of balance so holding

the body in balance brings up the trauma.

Feldencrais. Body and behaviour. Awareness through movement.

Tai Chi -

Breathwork - breathing slowly

Meditation -

Self defence - learning different self defence techniques builds confidence in the ability to self protect.

Body building - getting stronger is another way to build confidence in

self protection

Massage - Professional & experienced masseur. Learning safety with touch.

Sexological body work.

Psychedelic Healing

Psychedelics are being used more and more to deal with PTSD and trauma with a significantly higher rate of success than pharmaceuticals. Psylocybin (magic mushrooms) for example helps calm the amygdala (trauma response) so memories are accessible often without the fear so they can then be processed.

3. Spiritual healing modalities

We are soul, so spirit is an important part of us. Particularly if our bodies arnt safe then spirit can become our safe and healing place. Remember who your soul is.

Book - Testimony of light by Helen Greaves

Akashic records. Records of past, present and future.

Psychic support. Rachel Vaughan a survivor of RSA offers psychic readings

as well as psychic training.

Ley line - Save the ley lines

Spiritual belief systems - people come from many beliefs but for our race

to survive we must love one another.

Religious belief systems can provide a level of certainty and familiarity but they can also be another form of programming (repetitive actions and words) and mind control.

4. Substance healing modalities

For many people popping a pill is a quick and convenient way of dealing with trauma. Yes it may have a numbing effect so you can operate your day but long term it may not be healing you. There are many pharmaceuticals people take but I am not experienced in that area as chose not to take them. When my brother was killed the doctor gave me antidepressants and it turned me into a zombie who couldn't feel and I lost all motivation. Three days later I went back to the doctor and said "my brother is dead, it's meant to hurt". I threw them in the bin and never took them again. So I wont comment on what I am not personally experienced in.

The direction I took in life was herbalism for my health and later psychedelics. I reasoned with myself that I could trust my ancestors over previous millennia knowing what worked for them and what didn't rather than big Pharma who as we now know tragically and clearly are after customers and not cures. I have found this path to be very beneficial for me. It hasn't been the easiest path but for me I think it has been the best.
