Complementary Not Alternative TherapiesWondering about all these complementary medicine
therapies? Here's a link to the National Library of Medicine where they
have devoted an entire section to complementary and alternative
therapies: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/alternativemedicine.html
Please, educate yourself because my best clients are those who know
what they want, and those who realize I can help them get it, do it,
and be it.
The complementary therapies I practice are wonderful
adjuncts to traditional western medicine as well as other complementary
therapies. I prefer the term "complementary" because they are not alternatives to
traditional medicine --- if I have a serious, acute traumatic problem,
I want an MD or PhD or PsyD around, because more intensive treatment is
needed for acute injury and trauma. I deal with the wounds that have
been there a while, the wounds from childhood that never really healed
but which result in behaviors that once were adaptive but that are now
getting in your way, or the wounds that went straight into your
subconscious, which have never truly been dealt with. It is like
peeling a onion once you start working on your own issues: with more
work, another layer gets peeled off, and yes, it's hard and there are
usually some tears, but in the end, the onions are what give us the
most flavor and spice.
The therapies I offer are
complementary, and designed to be used in conjunction with other
therapies if you desire. Complementary therapies are quite helpful for
chronic conditions. These adjunct therapies are useful for stress
reduction, chronic pain management, and increasing your body's ability
to heal itself. Many of these therapies are finally getting the
attention of western medicine, just look at the links on a few of my
pages to the Mayo Clinic, the National Institutes of Health,and the
National Library of Medicine.
I can hear the question: "So,
Melodie, if I can find a MD or PhD or PsyD who is also trained in
hypnotism, energy medicine, and story telling, what not see them
instead of you?" My answer to you is this: Wouldn't you rather have a
specialist who specializes in hypnotherapy and hypnosis? A specialist
who specializes in energy medicine? A specialist who specializes in the
combination of those two, combined with yet a third, magnifying technique? And a specialist who is known for her
communication skills and bedside manner? A specialist who specializes
in the subconscious part of the mind and the form of energy medicine
concerned with cellular memory release. A specialist who knows your "inner child" very well, and who has experienced first hand many of the same growth steps you are working on now.
Shortly after beginning my practice, it became very obvious and reinforced what I had already learned many times over on my path: We are Never sent anything that we cannot handle. We may think we are, but we humans are quite a resourceful, creative, resilent lot.
To quote one of my favorite old sci-fi movies:
"You humans are at your best....when things are at their worst."
