DWQA QuestionsCategory: KarmaMy client was awakened while having shortness of breath. This re-occurred while on an ordinary business call with a client, and even while taking a pleasurable hot bath and she was in a good mood. She is quite anxious about this and doesn’t know what to do. She can’t get her doctor on the phone. What is going on, and what can I tell her?

You can know that this is exactly what you felt intuitively. It is all a re-experiencing, a re-creation through her cellular consciousness of bodily symptoms she has had before when she worries about her heart. This has plagued her all along and in various settings produced distressing symptoms that ramp things up and cause her to see her doctor or go to the ER, and they will treat this as a medical emergency, it being coronary in nature, and this is why she has had repeated stents put in place. It is not that the vessels are normal, but she is making herself go through the mental anguish of re-experiencing the worst of symptoms inadvertently, by having a trauma memory become triggered. And, as you correctly perceived, this happens via the deep subconscious wrestling with its fears about all that is at stake in her life, her dire circumstances being under siege, and her seemingly fragile health state, which we have told you is not as severe as she and her doctors believe. But when her own body seems to put the lie to what we are saying and convinces both her and the doctors they have been right all along and she is in a very delicate and fragile condition, she sets herself up to be a victim of over-treatment. It certainly is extremely difficult for her to simply live with fear and do nothing. So this is a recurring pattern that could well spiral downward again and again until eventually, there is a medical error or a complication from another invasive procedure that does her in, unless the healing can catch up to the present time and begin to turn things around by removing the propensity to have this re-echo of prior medical dramas. We are working on this, and especially with the newly launched session you have done, it gives us direct requests and instructions to give this a priority, and so we will do that going forward and will see how she weathers the coming hours and days. We cannot stop her from being herself, as you know, but if we can ease these signs and symptoms at least some of the time, this may allow her to have some encouragement that what you are saying is true, that this can be healed and is being worked on actively. So you can repeat that to her if you like, but again we caution you to not take over her healthcare in her doctor's stead, as that could backfire and is never good practice.
