Riassunto

Are you suffering unexplained symptoms of fatigue, anxiety or pain and no-one can tell you why you got ill or how to get better?

Do you want to reverse your fatigue symptoms and reclaim your energy and vitality for life?

According to the CDC up to 2.5 million Americans are suffering from a chronic fatigue condition (that’s around 1 in 131 people!) and it’s increasing year upon year. We live in a world where the numbers of people suffering anxiety, fatigue, digestive issues, auto-immune conditions and various unexplained chronic diseases (including long covid) are beginning to bankrupt our health systems.

What on earth is going on?

This ground-breaking book, written by an award-winning practitioner, demystifies the many and varied symptoms of stress, trauma and unresolved emotion in the mind and body, filling the knowledge gap. Based on 25 years of research and practice, it describes the latest research on the stress response and how it interacts with a sensitized brain.

In this book you will discover:

• What is the biggest but largely unknown determinant of health and longevity – by far
• Why modern medicine ignores this and concentrates on symptom alleviation
• How you got here – the past is always present in your back brain
• Why the stress response gets wired for threat so that it gets stuck
• What tiny cellular component causes the sabotage of your energy producing machinery
• What simple steps you can follow to reverse that program

I was 33 when a mystery virus knocked me over. I did what we all do – I carried on and worked harder! Within a few months, I had deteriorated to the point where I was being nursed by mother! I couldn’t walk beyond a few yards, cooking and cleaning were beyond me and the anxiety was crippling...

What I found out during that time was to become my life’s work. As a university scientific researcher, I had the training and access to resources most people don’t. And what I discovered, I have distilled down into the information presented here.

Emotional trauma from early life experience activates an ancient system to be hyper-aroused to the world around it. Anything that then triggers the same emotion in later life activates this survival system giving us anxiety, fatigue and/ or chronic pain.

Trauma is Common

My contention, born out of study of the scientific literature and my own experience, is that emotions are not just psychological experiences; they are physiological regulators. And any experience in a state of helplessness is perceived by the body as a trauma - so very few people escape a childhood without some.

But it is the interaction with particular highly sensitive personalities that determines whether traumatic memory formation becomes encoded and whether it becomes triggered into chronic symptoms in later life via epigenetics – environment plus genes.

I lift the lid on how the mind creates the symptoms largely through the downregulation of the energy producing mitochondria in your cells. I show the fascinating truth behind this amazingly ancient process, meant to protect us when our stresses were very different to the ones we have today.

Many books have been written on this subject from either a scientific or clinical point of view, but this book unifies theory and practice towards a new understanding of chronic illness. I also show you, with practical examples, how to overcome these issues using a variety of new body-based (somatic) therapies to change these subconscious programmes. I firmly believe everyone can heal and I show you how you can too!

Now updated for 2022 with new research and a fully cross-referenced index.

Informazioni sull?autore

Patricia Worby, PhD, MSc, is a former scientist, researcher, and now specialist practitioner in chronic illness. A child of the 70's, she was encouraged to go to university (the 1st in her family) and studied science because it 'wasn't for girls'. Science was going to change the world. However, after a series of health challenges in her 30's, including depression and chronic fatigue, and abandoned by conventional medicine, she was encouraged to find her own answers. After being introduced to the healing power of natural medicine she began a lifelong study of its methods. This included Clinical Massage, Nutritional Medicine and Reiki which she then practised. However, she began to recognise an emotional component to disease which is often not addressed so extended her knowledge with psychotherapy; specifically cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy and trauma release. She is now a specialist using Hypnotherapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) which form a powerful armoury for the treatment of chronic conditions. In addition, she is a certified NLP Practitioner and Chrysalis Effect Wellbeing Coach specialising in Chronic Fatigue Syndromes (ME/ Fibromyalgia). She takes a multidisciplinary approach to health and healing, which allows people to take responsibility for their health and is passionately committed to providing research-based answers to why their health is so compromised and how they might heal. This 'Mindbody' approach is increasingly recognised as a way forward from a symptomatic materialist medicine to one fit for the 21st century. An acclaimed speaker at Chrysalis Effect conferences, health and wellbeing writer for online blog healthwarrior, co-author of online health programme for Intelligent Health Solutions and contributed to a report to the NHS 'ME, CFS and Fibromyalgia Online Recovery Programme Supporting Recovery for All' presented to the UK Government in February 2014. Find her online at alchemytherapies.co.uk, where there are recordings of seminars she has presented for the Chrysalis Effect (UK's only self-study CFS/ME/Fibromyalgia Online Programme), therapist and patient groups. After completing her PhD in 2017 on Traumatic Components of Chronic Pain Syndromes (synopsis available on website), she has now completed her next book 'The World Within' on the microbiome and how it affects us. She loves to connect with like-minded people whether practitioners or not.
