Incoming rant …
I have so much to say on this topic.
I feel I’ll continue to speak about this even more as I continue my pathway to recovery and healing with chronic health.
For those of you who don’t know. I’ve been quite challenged with chronic health for over two years now.
No - this is NOT the part where you message me saying your *insert modality here* can help fix me. 🙄
In the past I have been a huge believer in alternative healing - I still am, when it is grounded…
However, I see it more of a “yes, and…” these days.
I have received more progress in my healing with a formal diagnosis, qualified professional support and simply accepting my health circumstances than any fancy alternative modalities.
There…. I said it.
Where the planets are in the sky, how positive my thinking is, the affirmations, this book, that course etc etc.
It didn’t do sh*t for me when I needed it to help the most.
I was naive. Oh so very naive.
When chronic health started to onset (the first time) nearly four years ago.. I didn’t see a single medical professional.
I double downed on listening to my intuition and seeing where life was asking me to pivot next.
I saw healer after healer seeking the support to get me through.
To no avail.
It eventually subsided enough to return to “normal” life.
2yrs later and it hit, harder.
I was debilitated and my whole world crumbled.
I ended up seeing professionals this time.
And they weren’t the absolute, either.
It took 18mths of questioning everything.
Walking through the dark of “what the f*ck is happening to me”.
To FINALLY accept (as best I could) what was and start to make a life where I was at.
And then a formal diagnosis came along shortly after.
There was no absolute, no perfect way, no this is better than that.
But one thing I will say is……
My naivety around seeking professional support really delayed me getting the help I needed.
People giving their two cents that have NO IDEA what it is like to live in my body, really harmed me.
Seeing modern medicine as the whole answer.
Or seeing alternative therapists as the saviour.
