Healing Crisis

[hayjay]

Hi

I am new to this site and hope that somebody can give me advice.
At the moment I am doing my VTCT Reflexology and in the middle of my case studies.
A few weeks ago I startedreflexology on a very good friend of mine.
After the the 2. treatment I fell ill with a high temperature, aching limbs, headache ect.
I thought it was the Flu and stayed in bed quite poorly for almost 3 days.
After the 3. treatment I again came down with all the flu symptoms, but still thought the flu might've come back as it was going round at the time.
I spoke to my tutor however, asking if there could be a connection to the reflexology treatments I am giving. My tutor advised me to ground and protect myself.
As I am a spiritual healer and my husband a reiki master ....we went through the grounding and protection together.
I gave my friend her 4. treatment and .......
yes, soon after she left I had breathing problems, a temperature of over 38C and felt worse then ever.
My tutor has no advise to give, as she has never come across this before and I am getting really down and frustrated.....
Is this something I am picking up from her, or am I as a therapist going through a healing crisis myself ???
My friend by the way feels fine and had no symptoms apart from thirst . She doesn't know about this, as I did not want to worry her.
I would be grateful for any advice

thank you

Hi Mo[/align]Sometimes when i have given a treatment i come away feeling like i've taken on some of the symptoms of the client i've been working on...i always find that a little bit strange. but i've never had so strong a reaction as you - i'm talking about gut ache when working on someone with bad IBS or shortness of breath when working on someone with Emphysema. I didn't get much advise from anyone on this but i did know from my training that this had happened to my teacher.[/align]I'm not sure what else to say but you're not alone.[/align]Did u get properly checked out by the doctor?[/align]Does this happen with any other clients?[/align]Could you have an allergy to foot products/creams which causes the symptoms?[/align]Hope you find some answers hun[/align]Alx x[/align]

Thanks for your reply, Alx
I have used the foot products on several clients and never had a reaction.
I do notice that I get very tiered when treating certain clients...and maybe that is because I am giving and not letting it flow. I'm still in the early stages so I have a lot to learn !!

Hi Mo

I have experienced extreme tiredness while treatingcertain clients - I also spoke to my tutor who advised my about grounding myself to stop me from picking up energies. Each time it has happened it left me feeling totally washed out

On one of my clients it seemed to happen only when I was at the head area (toes) of both feet, then within a few hours of the treatment my client came down with terrible flu symptoms all in the head, neck and sinus areas.

Its all very bizarre ................
