Childhood & Pre-birth Trauma

Everything happens for a reason. If you're sick, there's a reason for it, and it's not because you're a bad person, or you deserve it, or anything like that. If you have any sort of condition of "unwellness," it has a cause. Something has caused your condition! Why is this a big deal? Because if all you do is treat symptoms, and you ignore the cause, either the treatment is going to be unsuccessful, or the symptoms will just come back later. But if you address the true cause of your condition, the symptoms will usually be easier to deal with, and they might even just go away on their own, with no further intervention. Client example #1 is the perfect illustration of this.

So what does cause illness? With most of my clients, in the course of working with them, I'm able to see the cause of their condition. Of those that I have seen, every single one has been something that happened in their childhood or even earlier. And it doesn't have to be that you were deliberately abused. It can be something that was done by someone who just didn't know any better, or who just did the best they could and it wasn't enough. It can be a situation that you lived in that was very bad for you through no fault of your parents or anybody else. And it can be something that most people wouldn't even consider to be traumatic. Because trauma is only in the eyes of the person going through it. If it's traumatic to you, it's traumatic, and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about it. So we're not talking about blame here at all, we're just talking about something that you experienced while growing up that had a negative emotional impact on you.

Why would something from your childhood make you sick today? The physical and emotional effects of trauma stay in your body until you do something to remove them. They hold you back, limit you, keep you from being who you came here to be. And most people aren't even aware that it's happening, so they don't try to do anything about it. So at some point, the part of you that's really running your life (Call it Spirit, Essence, whatever.) will say, "Okay, I see you need some help getting rid of this trauma, so I think I'll inspire you." And that's when the symptoms start and you become sick, or you have an accident. That's your cue that it's time to dump some emotional baggage. But since there's no instruction manual for things like this, and you can't see the "true cause" of your condition with your eyes, well, you deal with what you can see: symptoms!

Now, I do treat symptoms. It's very important to treat symptoms so that you can have a decent quality of life. The problem comes when we treat symptoms only and ignore the true cause.

Sometimes, when I tell people what caused their condition, their reaction is "My life wasn't that bad! That can't be it." But that's their adult mind talking, that's not the child who lived through it. That was the case in client example #2.

Using the term "true cause" can make it sound as if there were only one cause of any given condition, but that's not always the case. It was the case with the woman with the broken bone that wouldn't heal, and the man with the leg pain. Those were rather simple cases. But with chronic illnesses, or, even more, with people who have collections of conditions, usually there is a long list of things that happened to them when they were young. And so there is a long list of things going wrong with their bodies and emotions today.

So there are two things that I want to do for you if you come to me. I want to help you manage your symptoms so that life is more livable. And I want to find what's really caused your condition so that you can get rid of it, and then maybe you won't have to worry about symptoms.

To understand how I do that, it's necessary to first understand how emotions affect the physical body.
