As a former sufferer of CFS/ME, and now a hypnotherapist who works with clients with the same illness, I thought I saw something familiar when I first looked at the list of symptoms long-term Covid sufferers, or long-haulers were experiencing: severe debilitating fatigue, fibromyalgic pain, flu-like symptoms, tachycardia, and the list goes on. Now, I'm seeing that my intuition was on to something. Some people appear to be developing CFS/ME after Covid infection.
What I have always suspected and have seen evidence of in my practice is that there are certain commonalities that make some people more vulnerable to long-term illness than others. Likewise, I find that there are some commonalities in the effects long-term illness has on people that keeps them trapped in a cycle of recurrence. I go into detail about some of the common things that come up around CFS/ME here.
While it is terrible news that so many people are having CFS/ME symptoms after Covid infection, the good news is there is support available. Hypnotherapy, and Depth Hypnosis in particular is a really helpful tool for exploring and resolving many of the problems that CFS/ME brings to the surface. With Depth Hypnosis, you will get a blend of talk therapy and hypnosis sessions to help you resolve underlying traumas, anxiety, depression, negative thinking patterns, and other problems that could be keeping you in a state of physical pain and suffering.
If you or a loved one has been struggling with long-covid and/or CFS/ME and want support, I encourage you to reach out. I have been working with CFS/ME clients for over three years and before that, I resolved my own 10+ year case through a combination of help from a Naturopathic Doctor and a Depth Hypnosis practitioner. I can't promise that you will be cured the way I was, (5 years without symptoms) as each person's healing journey and relationship to illness is unique, but I can promise that at the very least, you will make progress in healing, you will be supported while you navigate your personal path to healing, and you will learn tools to help you get through some of your toughest symptoms. If you’re interested in learning more, Contact me or schedule a free 20 minute consultation to talk about whether Depth Hypnosis might be helpful for you.
