Case Study No. 1 Mrs J had a rather unhappy childhood. Her relationship with her father was good but sadly he died when Mrs J was in her early twenties. She had two failed marriages, neither of which had produced children. Her career had become her main focus, and now that has come to an abrupt end, she finds life a little depressing. She is now happily married and has a good number of friends but feels unfulfilled. She has been unable to move forward with her life, lacking energy and enthusiasm. Mrs J agreed to be a case study for SEERCHI Self-Help Therapy and here are her initial reactions: Thursday 11th May Although my period started today and as usual it was accompanied by period pain, I still decided to compost 1961 to 1965. Normally my pre-period energy surge would disappear by now, but I’ve had high energy all day and got through huge amounts of housework. All in all I feel this has been a really productive and positive day. Monday 15th May I spent a bit of time this morning composting 1970 - 1975. I decided to do 1970 again just to make sure I’d done it properly. Feeling lots of energy and enthusiasm again today, this is good. A little while ago I had entered a competition and this morning I heard that I had won a prize so I’m very excited and encouraged by that. 23rd July I’ve re-done the years 1980-1985. When I spoke to Lyn I said that I didn’t feel as if this had really cleared and I kept thinking about doing these years again so thought it was time to get them out of the way. 24th July This morning I’ve re-done 1986 and I’ve also done 1987. 26th July I went to get my hair cut today. Before starting on my hair my hairdresser said I looked different, still me but different, sort of lighter, she could see it in my eyes. Interesting! |
