» Sylvia Carlson - Massages, more than 'body work"..start to wholeness.

Hi Angela,
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences.
Your response made me think about some of the most difficult cases I have came upon. I remember one client came to me who had had no relief for many years despite trying many different methods to relieve her pain. I was a little ambivalent working with her because she had literally seen every type of traditional and alternative health care practitioner prior to coming to see me. While I was working with her, I asked her to talk about what was going on in her life at the time this pain came on. I saw her weekly for several weeks. Several weeks later she called and told me she was without pain. Years later, I received a card from her that attested to the fact that the pain never returned. What I didn't tell her was that I truly believed the pain went away because we were able to bring everything together - the feelings, the situation and the physical sensation that it had produced in a very gentle and non-invasive way. It changed the way I practiced bodywork.

Thanks again for your insights.

Sylvia
