one symptom* is fading, but another one is appearing.
when did all these symptoms start?
bloating
urinary system
sensory
sensitivity to light
hearing: shifted to slight tinnitus from time to time and general hearing perception can be dulled (was tested and my hearing is “normal”)
liver
(weakness of hearing and vision - kidney - kelsey book)
liver or kidney
(tinnitus - liver)
(tinnitus, deafness - kidney - kelsey book)
(kidney - inner ear)
reproductive system
!!!
focus
sometimes spotting before period
took pill age 12-25 because of heavy acne,
had a regular period afterwards which became irregular after an abortion around 5 years ago
right after, I also gained around 20kg of weight over the course of maybe 6 months or so and am still heavier than before.
spotting - lung
weight gain - spleen
(connected to guilt? to not being able to let go?)
(collapse which then shifted into exaggeration?)
(or if kidney collapse -> then spleen exaggerated?)
emotional question abortion
can you talk a little bit about what happened
what emotion did you feel afterwards?
guilt, grief,..? predominant emotion?
connection to yourself as a women
any other medicinal gyn conditions in the past?
what type of abortion did you do?
scanty or heavy menstruation?
dark or light bleeding`
libido?
will take some time to get back into balance
Th: strengthening kidney networkTh: letting go
Th: working with reconnecting with your cycle
(”disrupted cycles of sleeping and waking”, “poor sleep” - kidney - kelsey
too much distance, a gap between thought and action
difficulties concentrating, focusing
dealing with loss (at the beginning it felt like I couldn’t breathe which is mostly better now)
back and forth between extremes, between peace and chaos, clarity and confusion
liver
heart
breathing - lungs (kelsey: “when lung becomes drained by the kidney -> shallow breath)
Th: see it as your body trying to get back into balance. observe these extremes. accepting both
do you think a lot?
when does this shift happen?
is it cycle dependend? time of day?
symptoms worse (eg worry, overthinking) when uprising biological menstrual cycle)
coping mechanisms: how do you cope with trauma, emotions (eg pushing away)
loss of motivation/belief
feels like losing yourself
can you think of a cycle ( a cycle of nature) that you recognize in the way you think/act/your body functions (women´s, day night, moon within body- inner cycles, seasons, resistance-letting go cycles, peace - suffering cycle, creativity) (should be your personal cycle, very individual)
SAY
its your body healing. getting slowly back into balance.
being aware that mind, emotions so tightly interconnected with body.

Th sensual
Th herbs
intention: what shift, change do you want to make after these moments of working together? what feeling do you want to let go off/get? towards, away from.. eg deepening connection, understanding of your body
Th cycle
background thoughtsnature goes in cycles
so does your body every month
so much changes (hormones, nutrient demands, energy levels, need for conversation or silence/going within
lost nowadays because expected to feel the same every day - also expect it from ourselves and our bodies. brings imbalance bc often forcing, pushing ourselves
instead of forcing oneself to feel the same every day,
let yourself be guided by your cycle
notice what your body needs until cycle gets back into balance
Th: ankle rotations
teaching about cycle!! how to read the cycle (mucus, ...) - it deeply connects you with yourself
making period diary together (her tracking)!
Th elements
acceptance
rebuilding trust into the body
