Trish has given me my life back! By E Lindsay

I was sent to Trish by someone who knew I needed help. They just had no clue as to how very, very much..

Setting up that first meeting, I was full of trepidation to say the least, as I felt Trish would "see right through me". She did. Her guidance has freed me totally from the self imposed bonds and all the punishment I felt I so richly deserved. After 27 years of escalating pain, suffering, anger and depression Trish, and the tools and techniques she has taught me, have let the sun in. Let me explain:

I originally came to Trish in her Mind Over Weight Weekend Workshop. My weight and my self hatred were really the least of my problems.

I had a major motor vehicle accident when I was 20 that left me with excruciating chronic pain from multiple leg fractures, complete dislocation of one shoulder and a fractured skull, not to mention the loss of a good portion of one leg from the knee area up. I had multiple surgeries over the next 5 years.

If that wasn't enough, I then had major abdominal surgery that went horribly wrong. The doctor made a huge error which resulted in a total lack of motility in my stomach. I could no longer tell if I was hungry or not until the food hit bottom and then I would spend hours in agony. It became routine for the doctors to add yet another drug, about every six months, none of which helped. I became emotionally numb;mentally numb; numb to everything, except the pain.

After another motor vehicle accident 7 years ago, I had to use a cane daily. I was diagnosed in 2000 with Fibromyalgia and in 2001 , with Osteoporosis [I fell about 18 inches, shattered my upper arm into many pieces, broke my nose and wrist and some of my teeth. After 5 months of having my arm strapped to my body the surgeon inserted a humerus rod, screws,a nail and some artificial bone.]. By 2003 I was also diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes. More and more prescriptions, more and more pain, less and less a functioning member of society. Just prior to meeting Trish I fell down a flight of stairs and cracked my tailbone and 3 weeks later I fell and broke 4 of my ribs..

The pain had become my whole life, all encompassing, all consuming; my escape into stronger and stronger pain medications the only, albeit temporary, relief. As the years went by the dosages needed to be increased. Along with 24 hour long-acting Morphine I routinely had to top it up with short acting Morphine and Demerol (sometimes 4 to 6 times a day) for the constant breakthrough pain; I also needed pills to help me sleep.

When I left that first workshop I felt there might be light at the end of the tunnel. I started to apply the tools and techniques Trish taught in an effort to deal with and finally overcome the monster that ruled my life.

Since the summer of 2004 I no longer walk with a cane. I am now (2005) down to only a daily dose of long acting MS Contin which I hope to be decreasing again soon. Best of all I take no extra pills for breakthrough pain, nothing to help me sleep. I am returning to the world of the living. I have even started to do some work.

The tools and techniques Trish has taught me, have given me my life back. After 3 decades of agony, I am reveling in my new found freedom. She has shown me such wondrous possibilities and she has taught me to be gentle with me. Trish has given my life back. Bigger and better than ever and its way cool!

Trish, you totally Rock! I can't thank you enough,
