Mental Suffering
"After years of psychological treatment that sometimes created more damage than good, that affected the routine of my life, and oppressed me more than helped me; after a lot of suffering (self-inflicted and causing people that I love to suffer), today - this day of writing this - I FEEL GOOD. I wake up in the morning happy. I feel that I am able to face the challenges of the world. I am also aware of the beneficial effect of my newfound happiness on those around me.
The weeks, maybe even the first few months of my Tao Shiatsu treatments, were a bit scary for me, since all my previous treatments had a negative effect on my life. In addition, I was suspicious of alternative medicine, so even though I appreciated it from afar, I had no wish to try it myself. All this contributed to my flinching from this new treatment, not believing that it could really help me.
I am happy to announce that I had made a mistake. The good feeling that I carry within me now is due solely to Tao Shiatsu. And also I have become quite a missionary for this kind of treatment. I do not know how I will feel tomorrow but I am optimistic because I feel strong enough now to count and rely on myself."
