Another amazing review from a water phobia sufferer... 'changed my life!'
My Havening journey
I first witnessed Havening during a session at a support group for fibromyalgia and other invisible illness's. I was blindly skeptical to begin with as I didn't know anything about Havening or it's benefits. I was surprised to learn and witness that it does really work. The fibromyalgia group held a raffle and the winning tickets would receive a free Havening treatment. To my surprise I won!! I already knew what I would use my treatment for, to concur my fear of water and swimming! As a child I was bullied and during a school swimming lesson I was dragged by my feet under the water and almost drowned, I had to be rescued by the lifeguard and my airways cleared of water, ever since that experience I could not get into a pool unless I only stood in the water up to waist deep and always held onto the hand rails, I could no longer go into the sea alone or very deep, I had to have somebody else with me holding my hands constantly. I did not explain my reasons for Havening to Lynn, she had no clue why or what my fears were. We worked through the treatment and at the end I revealed what had happened to me as a child. At the end of the day, I felt my fears had lifted and my thought pattern and fear reaction had changed and shifted towards a positive response rather than a fear and negative response. I promised Lynn I would put my outcome to use on our family holiday to Turkey, I wanted to play in the pool with my daughter fear free and swim in the sea alone. I am very happy to say, I did play in that pool with my daughter and I had no fear, I also swam and floated. I swam in the sea alone and floated without a care or worry. Everybody knows the danger of sea swimming, so that was still in my mind, but I no longer felt utterly petrified anymore. I cannot thank Lynn enough for her help and I can honestly say, she helped change my life. X X ❤️
