During the past 21 years of working with individuals recovering from trauma and chronic illness, some hypotheses have occurred to me. Will you try something with me? Will you get quiet, breathe slowly and deeply, and bring your awareness down, down, down, ....out of your mind, into your body... into every nerve, every cell..... From a cellular level, will you test these hypotheses, to see if they are true in your experience?

What if? What if the immune system is a sensory system. Its mission- to discern the presence of threat and danger, to discern the presence of self vs. not-self. Its methods- massive, instantaneous defensive mobilization, sometimes local, sometimes systemic, sometimes cellular, sometimes involving activation of CNS and metabolic systems.

What if? What if the immune system senses all trauma to body and mind--accidents, abuse (physical, sexual, emotional, spiritual), medical treatment and medical/metabolic illness, isolation and neglect, assault by strangers and assault by rusted powerful others, viral or bacterial infections, and chronic physical or emotional stress. So when the immune system senses trauma, what occurs?

A particular set of predictable reactions occur whenever trauma occurs. These reactions include neurological disconnects that make it difficult to treat trauma with talking therapy. What if there is a way to re-wire our nervous systems, to reconnect these neurological pathways? Fortunately, there is a way. Re-wiring is possible. It is possible to access trauma-based reactions held at a cellular level. And it is possible to address and heal many of these patterns through long-distance assessment and healing.

For this reason, the following long-distance services are now available:
***Phone consultation
***Assessment by phone and mail
***Hypnoanalytic sessions by phone when appropriate
***Coaching, for persons dealing with difficult life situations involving trauma to self or others

For information on these services, please call me at the number below. Please leave a detailed message, your phone number, and a time you will be available for a return call. Messages are usually returned quickly, within the hour, or by the end of the day.
