Show Notes
Join me for episode 48 where we talk with my client, Tena, who was interested in the MAP Method to address immune and limbic system dysregulation as well as chronic Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), and sensitivities to mold and foods. Hear about the benefits she experienced from four sessions including mental/emotional shifts and improvement of her physical symptoms.
In this episode we discuss:
- How Tena made the connection between a dysregulated limbic system, immune dysfunction and her chronic health issues.
- How stressful events exacerbated her symptoms and how that has improved with MAP Method sessions.
- How traumatic experiences can alter the function of the limbic system and cause the immune system to overreact to relatively harmless stimuli (foods, airborne irritants) and underreact to true threats (bacteria, virus, fungus).
- The stressors that precipitated the decline in her health.
- Tena’s interest in resolving the root cause to improve the function of her immune system, and alleviate the symptoms.
- Her perception of her brain activity in response to MAP instructions and how that differs from most people.
- How the emotional intensity of memories is neutralized during a session and how this changes mental, emotional and physical patterns.
- Why she is “sold on” the MAP Method and the benefits it provides.
- The benefits she observed after MAP sessions, including feeling less compulsive about needing to maintain communications with others.
- The gradual breaking down of emotional, behavioral or physical patterns over the course of a set of MAP sessions.
- The improvements in her chronic symptoms after each session, including chronic EBV and sensitivities.
