This is about a teenager, sent by his parents for help.  As often happens, people show up at energy practitioners’ doors as a last resort.  This is changing.  Good!  The amount of life people spend in some sort of pain (physical, emotional, spiritual, and so on), when they could have a different experience, is saddening.  Well, you can tell that is a hobby horse of mine.

Anyway, Fred (not his real name)  first came for an appointment when he was fourteen.  He was  angry, living at effect of others, and guessed about 30% of his life didn’t work out—pick any example.  He knew he was depressed—the doctor told him so.  And while he didn’t quite know what to call what he was going through—depression sounded good.  He knew he had low self esteem—someone told him so.  Did he think so? I guess, he said. 

Net, I encouraged Fred to see the doctors and teachers (and even Mom and Dad) as his assistants, working for him, as he grew more well and learned to become an adult.  A new idea he kind of liked.  I encouraged him to tell his doctors and teachers he was seeing me, as the work we do is intended to be complementary and integrative, rather that replace others’ work.  That, too, was a new idea as he saw his current doctors as competing.  I suspect they weren’t—just his view.  Recall, he seemed to be living at effect.

Enough on symptoms; he had bundles.

Using muscle testing, he was able to see that he thought several things were true and they supported behavior that kept him at effect of others—Mom and Dad, teachers, doctors, “friends”, etc. We selected a few of those truths or beliefs to focus upon.  Specifically adjusting energy patterns to move to:

-I easily move through changing life patterns

-I love myself

-I easily choose how to be in the world

-I am sure of myself

-I am good enough

He stopped by, once every six months or so, with something else that was getting in his way, shifting what we do together into tuning up vs. overhaul.  He now has graduated high school having been active in extracurricular events and is accepted at a university.  Net, the integrative approach worked for him.  At graduation, he said the work we did together helped him pull his life together, over and over.  Sounds like a teenager.
