Hampshire EFT
Healing Health Holistically
I am not being dramatic when I say that Susan has saved my life…. nobody in my life knew how much I was struggling with an eating disorder and had been for nearly 40 years!!!
Over the years I had tried different types of therapy, some worked for a short time but unfortunately the Bulimia always crept back into my life and literally took over. I purged every day and some days I purged morning to night, I felt completely disgusted with myself and I knew I had to do something about it.
Around 1997 my doctor diagnosed me with a skin condition called Lichen sclerosus.
Lichen sclerosus is a skin condition that causes itchy white patches on the genitals or other parts of the body. There’s no cure, but treatment can help relieve the symptoms.
And the reason for Lichen sclerosus is… unknown.
Inflammation, skin breakdown with all that can involve.
In my case my symptoms became active about 18 years later.
Lichen sclerosus is a chronic condition, and chronic ailments flair when a stress trigger is in play.
Pre-pubescent girls and post-menopausal women are the main groups affected.
I cannot give any comment regarding pre-pubescent girls, or from the LGBT community. Colleagues may offer information.
However, it is not purely a female problem, but much is written from the female perspective.
Although treatment can help, skin affected by lichen sclerosus can sometimes become scarred and tight over time. This can cause discomfort when peeing, pooing, having sex or getting an erection. If it’s severe, you might need a small operation.

Important: Cancer: Lichen sclerosus increases your risk of getting cancer on your vulva or penis.
There are two layers of skin; epidermis and dermis; a skin related blocked emotional trauma is held at cellular level.
The two skin layers have separate root cause stories; the subtleties of Loss of Touch, Protection or Defilement.
The precise part of the body affected has more specific trigger information attached to it.
If you have this debilitating symptom, I do not suggest you try to think your answers to WHY.
Strong steroid cream used under direction from Doctor/Consultant. But that becomes detrimental in long term use.
I remember the time,1997 when I was diagnosed.
I had just gone through a traumatic personal challenge, and looking back, I can pinpoint the potential root cause start to this problem.
And the active/regeneration phase 18 years later, when I became aware of change, had a specific and relevant emotional challenge connection.
Keep a record of flare ups in a little booklet; date and note particular symptom. eg Skin breakdown, itch, pain.
Seeing a pattern of stress, and the stress situation eventually resolved, is the first step to easing this problem.
A doctor will ask you how long you’ve had the problem, what symptoms are. Have that information to hand.
Now it gets interesting. I work with the innate knowledge you hold subconsciously; the Body, Mind Connection to your presenting symptom.
That’s when I ask you a short series of questions which take you to the Root Cause, the Why you present this symptom.
With guidance and support you release the emotive stress trigger, so that healing can begin.
The strong symptoms will reduce and you can go about your life without fear of vile bursts of pain, panic around sex or feeling less than the person you want to be.
If you seek to improve and potentially clear your symptoms, message me now to book a Root Cause Analysis.

The 3 symptoms, Ovarian Cysts, Polycystic Ovaries (PCO) Polycystic Ovary Syndrome PCOS, appear similar, but are not the same.
The information quoted comes from reliable online sources.
Quote: Many women have Ovarian Cysts at some point in their life. Most ovarian cysts present little or no discomfort and are harmless. The majority disappear without treatment within a few months.
Quote: The difference between Polycystic Ovaries and Ovarian Cysts is that polycystic ovaries result in substantial hormonal imbalance, compared to ‘harmless’ ovarian cysts.

9 years ago, I wrote my book, “Survive and Thrive after Trauma“. The book I had to write. I knew my story inside out. I found it difficult to move away from the whole sorry episode.
I had already started my personal and professional Emotional Healing journey when I decided to write the book.
The book shares detail of an emotionally challenging, traumatic life-changing time.
It is a book of three parts:
1. Autobiographical.
2. Tools and techniques to help reduce stress related symptoms.
3. Golden nuggets from others, who shared what helped them on their journey to improved emotional health.
I am writing this Post to highlight Self-Awareness.My self-awareness was that I had to write my book. (I loved that experience; I was invigorated and eager).
Can you sense when Self-Sabotage is at play in your life? Most of us can be unaware that we run behaviours which do not serve.Then suddenly, a light bulb moment slaps you around and makes you take notice of something which offers no positive benefit.
If you become aware of any Self-Sabotaging traits, give yourself a High 5.
• Acknowledge that baby steps will change habits which hurt you emotionally.
Awareness in recognising self-sabotage is the1st step.
Equally
• Do you know that the low vibrational feelings of being in Victim Mode, believing that something is Not Fair, feelings of Rage, Injustice, Unforgiveness can only debilitate, and hold no positive value for you?On the Emotional Guidance Scale which I include in my book, being Unforgiving was at the bottom of the scale?
Totally debilitating, crippling. Being unforgiving does not serve, ever.It is a joy (Joy is top of the Emotional Scale) to forgive others, and more importantly, to forgive Yourself. It frees you.
Professional guidance is often required when we cannot get out of our own way.

Memories are a strange business and can pop up right out of the blue. Or so it seems.
Some action, thought, or word triggers the memory which can please or surprise you.
A realisation hit me some days ago after I had completed planning for a Gratitude Workshop.
Here’s a glimpse of the memory.
One time,1997, when our kids were young, we were on a long canoe trip in Ardeche, France.
It was a beautiful experience at the beginning. There was an eclipse going on. The light was moody, the birdsong seemed strangely different and the air was very still.
The trip unfortunately proved to be extremely hazardous. Graeme and I were hopeless at steering our canoe, and when we reached the famous and challenging rapids, Vallon-Pont-d’Arc, I very nearly lost my life.
Our canoe crashed and stranded itself around the rocks.
Somehow, I was sucked out of the canoe and escaped harm.
I know I was under the water, and had time to think:
“Is this it?”
Two points I want to make:
1. I seemed unafraid during those seconds.
2. I had forgotten about this experience for which I ‘should be’ profoundly grateful.
I had survived and was without injury. I had a guardian Angel that day.
Do you sometimes forget to feel grateful for the good things in your life?
These incredibly challenging times can make us feel distanced from what is truly important. And the day may pass as if in a haze.
Very often it is the simplest and most fundamental of values which help you to move forward each day.
When you feel at ease, fewer worries surface to block emotional strength or inner resolve.
Having a strong sense of gratitude and knowing what is important, unconsciously empowers future actions.
And that’s why in my Workshop, I offer tools, techniques and shared knowledge, so that these learned practices empower a relaxed Mindset and importantly, help you to feel better.
That combination subtly clears negativity and impacts positively on your physical health.
We can all benefit from a little help and guidance.
