Case Study 3 - Part 1

Top marks for teacher’s emotional and physical health

I first went to see George in 2003, when I was 23. I suffered from very bad PMT for which I took a herbal remedy and I didn't have a particularly good relationship with my mum. I would spend time with her but wouldn't talk or open up with her about things which were bothering me. Over a few weeks I had started feeling very down. I had various symptoms including headaches, shivers, sensitive feeling skin and I felt like I was bursting into tears all the time. I went to the doctor who said I should get some exercise as it was just stress. I had felt like this in the past, due to PMT and being a very emotional person. This was the worst I had felt in a long time though. I felt really hopeless and decided I wanted to do something constructive to help myself. I contacted George and managed to get an appointment that evening.

Sessions 1-4

My mum took me to my appointment as I didn't feel up to driving. George immediately made me feel at ease as he talked through the process. He asked me how I was feeling and if I had any physical symptoms. He also asked me how I wanted to feel and what I hoped to get out of the sessions with him and what my hopes were for the future. I knew that I wanted to feel better but I also wanted to keep working where I was as my job was going to end in about 3 weeks and there wasn't another job there for me. George explained what he was going to do and started working with my energy. I felt a bit silly standing with my eyes closed but I did as George had suggested and listened to the relaxing music and concentrated on my breathing. At the end of that first session George told me about what he had been able to read from my energy. I was amazed with the things he told me. He had been able to identify areas which I knew were a problem for me. George didn't ask me to tell him about these problems, just to confirm that what he had picked up meant something to me. However, I felt that he had such a calm, reassuring manner that I felt I could talk to him openly and honestly. I had an immediate reaction to that first session and felt a lot better. The aches and pains had gone and I already felt more confident. I had another 2 appointments with George over the next 2 weeks. I had been given some chi gung exercises to do and some affirmations to say. George also suggested that I try visualisations to help with my job situation, by picturing where I wanted to work. I continued to feel the benefits of the bio-energy work after each session. I felt that I was growing in confidence each time and that I was starting to understand how my energy works and why it had become blocked. After each session we would discuss what George had done to unblock my energy. My fourth session was a month after my third and by that time I was amazed at the changes that had happened.
