The Scar that won't Heal: Trauma and Unresolved Emotion in Chronic Disease (Mindbody Connection) - Tapa blanda

Acerca del autor

Patricia Worby, PhD, MSc, is a former scientist, researcher, and now specialist practitioner in chronic illness. A child of the 70's, she was encouraged to go to university (the 1st in her family) and studied science because it 'wasn't for girls'. Science was going to change the world. However, after a series of health challenges in her 30's, including depression and chronic fatigue, and abandoned by conventional medicine, she was encouraged to find her own answers. After being introduced to the healing power of natural medicine she began a lifelong study of its methods. This included Clinical Massage, Nutritional Medicine and Reiki which she then practised. However, she began to recognise an emotional component to disease which is often not addressed so extended her knowledge with psychotherapy; specifically cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy and trauma release. She is now a specialist using Hypnotherapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) which form a powerful armoury for the treatment of chronic conditions. In addition, she is a certified NLP Practitioner and Chrysalis Effect Wellbeing Coach specialising in Chronic Fatigue Syndromes (ME/ Fibromyalgia). She takes a multidisciplinary approach to health and healing, which allows people to take responsibility for their health and is passionately committed to providing research-based answers to why their health is so compromised and how they might heal. This 'Mindbody' approach is increasingly recognised as a way forward from a symptomatic materialist medicine to one fit for the 21st century. An acclaimed speaker at Chrysalis Effect conferences, health and wellbeing writer for online blog healthwarrior, co-author of online health programme for Intelligent Health Solutions and contributed to a report to the NHS 'ME, CFS and Fibromyalgia Online Recovery Programme Supporting Recovery for All' presented to the UK Government in February 2014. Find her online at alchemytherapies.co.uk, where there are recordings of seminars she has presented for the Chrysalis Effect (UK's only self-study CFS/ME/Fibromyalgia Online Programme), therapist and patient groups. After completing her PhD in 2017 on Traumatic Components of Chronic Pain Syndromes (synopsis available on website), she has now completed her next book 'The World Within' on the microbiome and how it affects us. She loves to connect with like-minded people whether practitioners or not.
