Beyond DNRS: Retraining the Brain for Mold & Chemical Sensitivities - Kendall’s Story

56 minutes

Welcome to the Flourish with Neural Retraining podcast! In this powerful episode, host Madeleine Lowry, a neural retraining specialist, is joined by her client, Kendall, to describe her journey with mindbody healing for chemical sensitivities. Kendall shares her profound story of overcoming debilitating mold and chemical sensitivities that had limited her life for about 9 years.

What You'll Learn:

Kendall's Experience with Sensitivities: Discover how Kendall's sensitivities evolved to the point where she felt trapped and highly limited in her life. She experienced debilitating symptoms including brain fog, dizziness, dissociation, disequilibrium, insomnia, fear, and hypervigilance, and couldn't even sleep in her own bedroom. Her sensitivities made her react to new items, fabrics, and carpet, shrinking her world.

The Struggle with Other Modalities: Kendall had tried numerous other brain retraining methods and healing modalities without lasting success, including EMDR, neurofeedback, allergy shots, mold specialists, detoxification protocols, hypnosis, and other brain retraining programs like DNRS. She intellectually understood her sensitivities were a nervous system association, but felt deeply stuck because subconscious patterns remained unshifted.

The MAP Method: A Turning Point: Finding an advanced neural retraining approach called MAP marked a significant turning point for Kendall. MAP offered a different approach that goes many layers deeper by working directly with the subconscious mind.

How MAP Differs: Unlike repetitive scripts or affirmations found in some other methods, MAP is a process of allowing and holding space for what comes up from the subconscious. Sessions are guided by the practitioner, tapping into the wisdom of the body and mind without needing conscious clarity on specific traumas. It's not an effortful process, and the subconscious mind sets the pace, addressing patterns layer by layer.

Kendall's Remarkable Shifts: After approximately 12 sessions over six months, Kendall experienced significant positive changes:

◦ A shift from hopelessness to stronger resolve and deeper understanding that sensitivities are a body-created association.

◦ Physical improvements including a surprising shift in skin sensitivities and resolution of chronic neck and back tension.

◦ Breakthroughs in reintroducing items: She can now sleep in her own room and bed, bring new items into her home, wear many more clothes, and is much less sensitive to synthetic fabrics and furniture.

◦ Faster adaptation to new environments when traveling.

◦ The speed at which her body reintroduces items skyrocketed, from months to as little as two days.

A Beacon of Hope: Kendall's story is a powerful testament that subconscious programming is just programming and it can be changed. Her experience offers profound hope for anyone with multiple sensitivities, chronic symptoms, or those feeling stuck after trying other methods.
