Intuitive Healer Journey Beginning

[JEKBreatheandBelieve]

I am not sure how much I believe in intuitive healers, but at this stage, I am trying all I can. My therapist has done some energy work with me in session and it has helped. That doesn't negate me fears and doubts, but I decided to go to the intuitive healer my therapist recommended. I went yesterday.

I noted a few interesting things. Some of the things the healer said while she was working was spot on and she couldn't have known those things because of something I said because I was pretty mute. She also sensed there were at least 12 splintered parts of me and that is true. Throughout my therapy and being diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), my therapist and I have encountered 11 parts, count my core self in there and that's 12. I did not tell her about DID before, just that there was trauma that I needed help with. The only trauma that was specifically mentioned was the car accident that started everything unraveling.

I was completely freezing afterwards for about 3 hours, which I know is supposed to be a sign of energy being released. And I was very floaty/dizzy/loopy/tired afterwards. I am tired again now, too, which I guess is normal.

I was curious if other people have had success with intuitive healers/energy work. I plan to go at least one more time and then decide whether to keep going or not.

Sounds very interesting! My T doesn't claim to be an intuitive healer or anything, but she believes in a lot of things such as chakras, mandalas, etc. She is very intuitive to my feelings and issues. Ironically, she had a vision about me Tuesday in our session. She said she normally doesn't do this, but she told me the vision. It was powerful and really spoke to me. It also confirmed some things that have been spoken over me before.

I am very thankful for this T. After my last T who was pretty much only "How does that make you feel?" and "How was your week?", I have done TONS of healing under my new T!

@FindingMyself88 - your T sounds kind of like my regular T. I am so thankful for my therapist and if the intuitive healer can help even more, it will be worth it.

@JEKBreatheandBelieve I have not worked with healers/energy work per se, but I've done yoga and meditation which for me is like healing/energy work. I usually feel very calm and I notice that my focus is also improved after yoga and meditation. I've had 2 yoga instructors read my chakras, and both of them said the same thing, that my throat and heart chakras are blocked. Neither of them could help me unblock though.

I have only felt tired, and floaty after disassociating. I've been in therapy and completely disassociated, like I was actually not even in my body, but instead floating over it and seeing myself and the therapist in the room. After a session like that I feel those things (floaty, sleepy), but I don't know that any healing took place while I was out there.

I do find that body work helps me a lot, for example getting a massage from a trusted friend who is a masseuse always helps me feel more in my body and out of my head. You may be on to something, and only you can decide that from your own experience...

@Lewa - I know the kind of dissociating you are describing. If one can be a pro at dissociation, I think I am one. I know only I can decide from my own experiences, but I like to hear from other people, too. Thanks for your response. I have never tried yoga. Both you and @FindingMyself88 mentioned chakras, I shall have to look that term up as I have not heard it before.

I've greatly benefited from seeing intuitives and getting treatments from intuitive/energy workers.

The initial reading experience gave me validation, empathy, and helpful ideas. Their healing work, helped complement my work in therapy. Their assistance helped release and clear energies, helped me integrate aspects of myself.

Yep, they 've been transformative! In addition to the consistent work of seeing my psychiatrist and therapist. Like you mentioned, intuitives and therapy can work well together. I certainly still have PTSD, and much better managed and healed from my and everyone's efforts.

It's a funny thing. Throughout my life, I've recoiled from anything that even sounds religious, rituals, ceremonies, symbols. Over the past few years I've opened that door a crack, but its only a crack.

I read a book you might be interested in: its called Soul Retrieval. I can't remember the author's name at the moment.

The basic idea is that trauma causes a partial loss of the soul, but it can be retrieved. Sometimes, ex-lovers or ex-friends have parts of each other's soul and its to both party's benefit to release it.

I'm still very skeptical of all this, but I think the metaphor that parts of your soul might be held captive is useful. Retrieving it back through ceremony…well, I have a harder time with that. But if this works for you, I'd look into it.

I've dabbled in many things psychic, and known a few excellent intuitives. I'm a little uncomfortable saying much about it though.

Sandra Ingerman. I've tried many things on this journey, including soul retrieval. It was a beautiful ceremony and after it I felt much lighter and happier than I had in years. The newborn fragment was very reluctant to return, which totally made sense to me. Then there were two more around five or six. One of the soul parts that returned kept giving me information about some of the things I had already begun to sense happened when I was the age of the split. I felt very different for about two weeks. Then it wore off and I went back to how I was before. I am guessing you have to be healed enough to make a home for the parts of you that return, or they leave again? I don't know.

Okay guys, I know I'm weird!

My T is training to do Integrated Quantum Medicine - IQM for short. So she does this kind of energy work on me. She made my really VERY neurotic border collie a lot calmer. Not that she is not IMPOSSIBLE (The border collie, not the T) still, she is a border collie after all, but now she has calm moments, which she never did before. I think it can really make a big difference. Weird. Yeah. Literally. Spot on.

My experience in this was mostly not good. Aside of my GP, with whom we're on similar wavelength, I haven't met people I'd be compatible with. Either I know more of their craft than they do, which complicates things, or they're scared off. Also complicates things. As in, I'd at times really like to have people as a help, but people are inclined to call forces I consider protective and helpful evil and dark at best, and I basically won't have any of that about anyone who holds me alive; whoever invisible friends out there kept me alive thus far, is a friend, and insulting my friends = bad idea.

I find the intuitive healing very helpful for me when it comes to pre verbal trauma. Yes, I have done much work with both intuitive healers and conventional healers. I have no bias towards one or another but feel that each type can be of benefit to me for different reasons. Good for you for exploring!
