Join me for episode 73 where we hear from my client, Tess, about her experiences with the MAP Method over 4 months, and how MAP has helped her to overcome her sensitivities to smells, chronic headaches, IBS, repetitive negative thoughts and improved her bloodwork.

Hear how she came to MAP already understanding the connection between trauma and chronic illness, and how MAP sessions proved more effective than other modalities she had tried including DNRS, EMDR, Safe and Sound, Somatics, and more.

In this episode we discuss:

- How she found the MAP method with a very focused Google search.

- Her experience with DNRS and how it helped, but wasn’t enough.

- What she was hoping to address in MAP sessions: multiple allergies and sensitivities (hearing, smell, touch, foods, environmental), IBS, chronic pain (headaches, neck, back, body aches), hypothyroid, mold, Lyme and coinfections.

- How she used the MAP for Self Healing to address negative thought loops, neck tension, and headaches.

- How she used the MAP for Sensitivities to resolve smell sensitivities.

- The improvements in her bloodwork: B12 levels, homocysteine, and white blood cell and red blood cell counts.

- The increased freedom she has in her life as a result of MAP: to travel, socialize, be outside, cook, see the dentist, wear a necklace, and drive alone.

- The emotional level changes she has noted: more relaxed, able to enjoy the moment, less fixated on having to “do the right thing all the time.”

- How she understands trauma to be “something that happened that your brain has not processed properly.”

- How she deals with symptoms that come up – let it come and let it go–and how nothing hurts as much or as long as it used to.

- When you’ve been sick your whole thought process changes, and to make the leap back, it requires neural retraining.

- Why symptom patterns sometimes show up strongly right before they break down for good.

- Her experience of neutralizing a trauma memory during a MAP session and how the memory and her perspective changed.

- How anyone of any faith or religious background can feel comfortable working with MAP.

- How MAP programs offer a convenient and affordable way to have MAP sessions on your own.
