My Neural Retraining Adventure – Update 2

01/11/2018 by Emily 1 Comment

It’s just over four months since I started the Neural Retraining Programme and shared that I would post updates on my progress. Clearly I haven’t done that - see that’ll teach me to make commitments!  Anyway, better late than never. So has there been progress?? I guess I should start by confessing that I wasn’t consistent in doing the program. I really struggled with it. I tried and tried to do the rounds (one hour a day, repeating mantras and positive visualisations) but as I didn’t enjoy it, I Continue Reading

My Neural Retraining Adventure – Update 1

26/06/2018 by Emily Leave a Comment

About a month ago I shared that I was about to start a neural retraining programme, based on the theory that some chronic health problems can be traced back to a neural impairment - basically a brain injury. I’ve now completed a 4 day training programme, and am into my 2nd week of implementing the strategies. I’ve decided to share regular updates on my progress, as I think this is something that a lot of people would be intrigued about. Now that I’m immersed in the programme, I should state Continue Reading

The Last Time I Tell This Story

25/05/2018 by Emily 8 Comments

We all have a story. It’s the story we tell ourselves when we wake up in the morning and step into the details of our day. The story tells us who we are and how to operate in the world. We use our story to make decisions, engage with people and makes sense of things in our life. Our story evolves with us. Every period of our life adds a chapter, and some chapters change the flow of the narrative so fundamentally that we find ourselves in a totally different story to the one we expected to be Continue Reading

Recovery and Changing Direction

19/07/2017 by Emily 2 Comments

This is the post where I tell you the surgery went well, I'm recovering as expected and there's not really anything dramatic to share, health wise.  Plenty to share, certainly, but I feel I need to get the health story out of the way first. Once my uterus was removed and sent to pathology (sorry is that a bit TMI??  It's all so 'whatevs' to me now), they confirmed I had Adenomyosis and fibroids and the surgeon found an odd set of mishaps in my pelvic cavity that were unexpected but easily Continue Reading

The Other Side of Tomorrow

29/05/2017 by Emily 6 Comments

Everything is about to change.  Since my last update about Adrenal Fatigue back in January, I've deliberately held back from writing.  In fact I've held back from a lot of things.  Almost everything really.  I've focussed on my health, my family and a small number of close friends who've supported us while we bunker down for a while.  After selling our house at the end of last year, we slipped into an awesome house-sit opportunity and have settled into life here for 12 months.  It would have Continue Reading
