ACEs can be really challenging to heal with traditional talk therapy alone, particularly if one’s conscious memory of the event is not accessible or is compromised as a way of coping, which is often the case. Symptoms can be subtle and often hard to detect which can explain why in some cases, psychotherapy is not always effective by itself as a treatment.  Medication can help soften the symptoms, but it will not resolve the underlying energy distortions caused by the original event.  Over time, other more serious symptoms will evolve that will require more medication which begins a vicious cycle.   

Energy therapy, particularly concurrent with psychotherapy, is advantageous, efficient, and an effective way to access these distortions and resolve them at the root.    While convention tells us that an incident is in the past and over and should not still have an effect, our bodies cannot be convinced in the same way. The body holds the memories of these events  This explains why the mere thought of a particular food such as a lemon stimulates salivation.   Our bodies remember the taste of that food and reacts as it did when you first tried it.  This is also referred to as cellular memory. When the body is repeatedly having a stress response from past traumatic events stored in cellular memory, the health of the overall system is eroded over time.   The energy system is designed to function in a particular healthy way and it will work to optimize its energy flow going into overdrive to address dysfunction and distortion to seek equilibrium.  An assessment and treatment at the cellular or quantum level identifies the energy of these events held within the biofield and works at a deeper level than the rationalization of the mind.

In an energy therapy session, a good practitioner will always look for the deepest  energetic root of the conditions to fully begin to uncover, unravel, and reestablish equilibrium and healthy flow.  The biggest driving factor in a successful session is the authenticity of the intentions set by the client.  Energy always follow intention. One must truly intend to heal -which means facing the deepest truth one may have to face- in order for the opportunity of deep healing to present itself.  This is where the ego, fear, and doubt (i.e. lack of faith) can often present as an obstacle.  Fortunately, those can be addressed with energy therapy too.  The process can best be described as an unfolding of the energies at a pace that the inherent intelligence of your system dictates.   It is often the case that  structural therapies such as massage, chiropractic, and mental health therapy can be supportive to the process.
