Healing crisis

Welshmaiden. · #1 26-01-2015, 01:37 PM

Hi I hope someone can help me here. I have a new client for a aromatherapy treatments. He has been doing well with his treatments up untill now.
I have recently had a full reconnection healing and realignment. Qualified as a reconnective healing practitioner.
Up untill now I've not used the healing alongside my usual holistic therapy treatments.
I have a bit of a problem with this new client. He has come to me for aromatherapy treatments and I have also given him some healing at the same time. I don't offer the healing for payment as I feel it should be given free of charge to the people who need it most. But I do charge for the holistic therapy treatments. As I still need to pay my bills.
The problem is it has emerged that this young man has serious past trauma issues. I have encouraged him to go back to his gp to be referred for professional help.
He has today told me that he has had a worsening of his symptoms. Which include flashbacks panic attacks. I do suspect that he going through some sort of healing crisis. I feel well out of my depth here. Is this normal or do I need to stop his treatments.I do understand that a healing crisis is normal and can be a good sign. Just worried that I'm out of my depth here.
I have not offered the healing to many people just reserve for those that need it the most.
Do you think this is a healing crisis or do you think that I should stop his treatments untill he has had the proper professional help that he needs. Or is this how it is supposed to be,

I really do want to help this young man. I'm just worried.i know this is why I became a holistic therapist in the first place. But I have only added the healing recently. So it's come as bit of a shock to me. The way this has come about. On the good side this young man has seen his gp who has referred him for trauma counciling.

lf your mean't to treat him you'll be shown the right way.
Meanwhile, sit quietly somewhere and ask for inner guidance. l feel sure something will be given. Good Luck..

The greatest healing in psychological conditions is positive psychosocial support. He is reaching out and needs support from his social network. Healing of the mind require a positive outlook for the patient to develop the channels of the mind that point to recovery. The best thing to do is listen and guide him toward an outlook that envisions positive health and wellbeing, this way his mind is set to heal. It could be that he is just looking for positive attention and in this case listening and telling him positive things will do the trick.

Thank you. My gut is telling me that I can't let him down as he needs the help. But I'm worried that he needs more specialised help than I can give him.
This young man has led a horrible life in which he has bullied relentlessly because he looks a bit strange. He has even been in some very serious life threatening situations as a result of this bullying.
Some of the things he has told me would make your hair curl. But part of me can't help but think he has been guided towards me. As it must have taken him a lot of courage to actually trust someone.
I'm just worried that I may well be out of my depth here. I have two autistic sons sons. This young man is also showing some similar traits to my sons. I am quite sure that he is also on the autistic spectrum.
It's a hard one but at least he has been to his gp for help. I suppose that's a starting point. But what I need to have guidance for is to know if I have already played my part. It's a tough one.

Don't push him away. He needs you to be there for him , and to be positive for him. Don't just ditch him, rejection is what he is used to, and he is opening up to you, and trusts you, and so do not let him down and give him care. That is what he needs.

What I have done is offered to do a pedicure for him instead. Plus a little bit of healing. I am also a beauty therapist. But beauty is not my main passion. It just helps to pay the bills. At least with a pedicure it will give him chance to talk. As during an aromatherapy treatment he is unable to talk.
I know a pedicure sounds strange. But he has asked about me sorting his toe nails out. So I've sort of taken a guide from his previous requests.
I'm thinking that maybe healing and aromatherapy may have been too much in one go. Let's just hope this helps. I will try to help him feel more positive. He has been let down a lot in the past. I don't think others really understand. Even though his parents have tried to help him. They just think he can just try to forget it and put the past in the past.
They obviously don't understand the nature of trauma and that fact that it can't just be forgotten. That it does need to be dealt with.

Yes that sounds wise Welshmaiden. You seem to be doing well and intuiting what he needs, I think you should continue with confidence. And best of luck to you both as well!

Thank you. Yes I am going with my intuition. I guess I'm just going to have to listen to my intuition to get through this one. I have a feeling this is my first real healing challenge. I have been told many times that I am a natural healer by lots of mediums.
I guess spirit is now doing it's bit. Bringing the right people my way. It's just a little scarey. As it is new ground for me. X

Hasn't his GP sent him to a therapist (usually they just drug them to the eyeballs). How old is he exactly?
l went through a pretty rough time as a teenager, myself - mostly through shyness and a lot of humiliation. l've always been different, though. There are bullies everywhere and we meet them no matter what age we are. This is something he has to realize, l think. l see these kind of ppl everyday. Perhaps he should take up karate, lt can help in these in these situations, because it boosts confidence.
lf you think you might be a natural healer, perhaps you can sit in meditation with him - doesn't have to be for long. Or you could do a little meditation before cutting his nails and call down the Healing Light - this Light really exists and it can heal anything..
He's probably created a lot of destructive thought-forms over the years so it will probably take time. lt all depends on how open he is to the Light..
