Mind-body Healing with the MAP Method - Nicki's Story Flourish with Neural Retraining
-
- Alternative Health
Join me for episode 76 where we hear from my client, Nicki, about her experiences with the MAP Method over a couple of months, and how MAP has helped her to overcome her anxiety, patterns of overthinking and worry, and the racing thoughts that kept her up at night.
Hear how she was referred by her functional medicine practitioner, Dr. Eric Balcavage, and how MAP sessions compare to talk therapy, EMDR, and other neural retraining and vagal toning programs she has tried.
In this episode we discuss:
- How working with functional medicine protocols helped her symptoms, but took a toll on her mentally.
- How her health fell apart after getting COVID in 2020 and how she felt stuck in fight or flight.
- What she was hoping to address in MAP sessions: anxiety, fight/flight, sleep, and an autoimmune thyroid condition.
- The benefits she has noticed since the first session: reduction in negative thought loops and anxiety, no more anxiety “burst” feeling in her chest, more mental space, improved sleep.
- How MAP has helped her health anxiety and her anxiety around her son and his health.
- How MAP can help to resolve the effects of childhood trauma, even if you’ve done a lot of therapy already.
- How the MAP Method helped Nicki to achieve clarity around important decisions and feel more at peace with our options.
- How long-standing behavior patterns, like nail biting, can change with MAP sessions.
- Why MAP is easier and gentler than EMDR or talk therapy, and why she felt that the effects were “almost immediate” and a lot less draining.
- When your body is stuck in fight or flight doing detoxes and taking supplements is not as effective as it could be.
- How negative emotions can arise after a session, and the self-care tools that are provided.
- How chronic illness can make your life feel smaller and more complicated, and how neural retraining can start to turn that around.
- How current life stressors that would have caused a flare of symptoms have not since she started MAP.
- How working at the mental and emotional level leads to improvements in physical health.
- How many functional medicine practitioners are focused on testing for viruses, mold and other physical causes, when mind-body healing may be what is needed.
- How she now sees the timeline of stressors had a lot to do with the cascade of symptoms she experienced.
- How we work with the subconscious mind to resolve food sensitivities.
- How anyone can benefit from MAP sessions and why she calls it “an easier, softer way of getting to where you want to be.”
