An update, neuroreorg and EMDR
It has been awhile since we have updated our progress with our neuroreorg and how it is going with our daughter. With weekends away and vacations over the summer, we have struggled to fit all the daily therapy into our schedule. We have tried to double up some days knowing we would be missing others. Then there was a 2 week hiatus for a android and tonsil surgery at the end of June. While this brought the therapy to a screeching halt, we felt, as did the doctor, that the size of her adenoids and tonsils were impacting her fatigue and endurance as well as likely causing sleep apnea. Nothing like starving a brain you are trying to repair of oxygen every night! So we took the plunge and are glad to have the surgery and recovery time behind us. We will be meeting with our neuro reorg practitioner in a few weeks to check the progress and hopefully will graduate to some new therapies. I can't say we have seen any dramatic changes in behaviors, etc, so I am curious what we will hear in a few weeks. For the sake of her privacy, I will not go into detail, but we did have a very serious issue occur a few weeks back, followed a few days later by, what we felt, was an honest recollection of some memories from Congo. We were shaken to our core by this and it has been some very tense weeks in our home making sure things are in place to keep everyone safe. Whether it be the comfort level she now has with us, or the neuro reorg that is trigging some of this, we met with an EMDR therapist yesterday to help her to start processing the trauma that is coming out. We are very hopeful this therapist will be able to give her some appropriate tools to self sooth and coping techniques as well as help her process what she likely went through in Congo. Starting to think we might be able to start a private therapy practice once we have been through all these therapies! God is faithful and we have been blessed by the people he has put in our path to help heal her! Hoping for a more positive update from Traumatown next week!
Traumatown, the place you never planned to visit, but now that you are here, you can't figure out how to leave.
