Treatment suggestions for very stressed client

[Linus Upp]

Hi everyone,

I've just had one of my regulars in for IHM. She is incredibly stressed and having panic attacks and other symptoms. She is back and fore the doctors who have agreed it is all down to stress. She was asking for my opinion today on what I thought she should do apart from IHM. I suggested maybe a stress councellor or meditation and she was particularly interested in meditation.

Is there anyone out there experienced in dealing with stress to this level and is there such a thing as 'meditation instructors'? If so, can anyone recommend someone in the Yeovil/Sherborne/North Dorset area.

I would be very grateful for any input/recommendations/opinions so that I can at least point her in the right direction.

Have a good weekend,

what about yoga or something that will help her control her breathing?
also an aromatherapist or homeopath may be a good suggestion?
or even watching really good comedy films/comedians she likes...laughing out loud is one of the best stress busters i think.

Can't recommend anyone in your area, but we have people at the cancer charity where I work, who run meditation groups and also work one to one. Actually, following on from beautystudent's suggestion, we also have someone who runs a laughter group which is very effective.

A good aromatherapist would also be helpful. I give some of my clients some oil to use at home in times of stress. Often they are able to associate the smell with the treatments that they have with me.

You may be able to find a yoga teacher who also does meditation classes.
Here is a link to The British Wheel of Yoga website. In any case regular weekly yoga sessions may help as well as meditation. Also pranayama (breathing exercises) can be learnt at most yoga classes.

You may also wish to look at the meditation page on The White Eagle website.

Thanks for your suggestions everyone - I am speaking to her this week and will pass on what you have all suggested. I think the Yoga/meditation was the type of thing she was keen to look into so thanks Binah for the links.
