Kerry's Recovery Journey
After a health scare 9 years ago, Kerry’s symptoms began. She didn’t know what they were or why they were happening and 3 years ago after another health scare, it escalated until 12 – 18 months ago when her world became smaller and smaller and she hit rock bottom. Her life became full of symptoms and fear looping. She wasn’t able to live her life as she once did.
She saw neurologists and Eye Specialists and was diagnosed with a clinically isolated attack, TMJ, tremor, anxiety, tinnitus, insomnia, visual snow, dry eye and migraines just to name a few.
Eventually she was introduced to mindbody via her sister and then she decided to work with SIRPA Practitioner, Shaheen Jaffary, who amongst other things, showed her how she believed every thought she had over and over again.
Her body then reacted to these thoughts as danger and most symptoms had become constant or got worse, plus new ones also appeared. Shaheen helped her see her thoughts and helped her to not believe every single one of them. She also helped her start to feel her emotions and to understand her symptoms and her behaviours differently, without fear.
Kerry says, “I would not be living my life again now if it wasn’t for Shaheen’s help.”
Kerry struggled with a variety of symptoms and saw a number of Specialists over the years, with little relief, until finally she came across the mindbody community.
