Physical Or Emotional? 

"I went to see Mark because of intense pains in my left hip and right thigh muscles. I was convinced that this pain was the result of over-exercising, yet after therapeutic massage and stretching the pain still persisted. Mark speculated that the discomfort I was experiencing might actually be due to emotional pain that I had converted into physical pain. In order to begin the healing process I might need to re-connect with my original emotional pain.

After the session, I felt that my body was processing the information it had received without any need for input from my conscious mind. I already felt different. The physical pain had begun to subside during the session and continued to ease throughout the day.

Slowly, I became aware of the shift from physical pain to emotional pain. I began feeling astoundingly depressed and increasingly despondent, an awful state that I hadn’t experienced since my high school years. For four days I wandered through this frightening old place that I thought I had left behind. On the fourth day, I finally emerged from this stupor – feeling more alive than I ever have before.

It is now two months later, and I have come a long way. I no longer have those suppressed emotions painfully stored in my body. With Mark’s help, I am continuing to work through other issues that, for me, often express themselves first as physical pain. I’m taking on bigger challenges than I ever have before and am constantly being surprised by my new capabilities."
