“Acceptance is not something that I really understand. The guilt of not having achieved enough or feeling that I have not tried harder is always running as a second voice within my mind.”

“Whenever the ‘black, slimy, evil’ thoughts of killing myself began to pervade my mind, I was somehow able to sit with them. Don’t ask me how, but I was able to stay just that tiniest bit separate from them. I could see them. They almost had personalities – a council of advisors and persuaders – and it took all my might not to listen. It felt like I was locked in a battle between good and evil. I had to be on my guard around the clock. I didn’t really want to be dead, I just wanted the suffering to be over.”

“Neuroplasticity is the science behind the brain’s ability to heal itself. It was once thought that the brain, once matured, was fixed and that there was little that could be done for people, like me, who suffered neurological accidents, such as strokes and paralysis. However, more recent advances in medicine have brought new discoveries and an understanding that the human brain is in fact plastic, that it can heal, and that we can grow new neural pathways, which, in effect, means that we can purposefully heal from many conditions by harnessing the power of the mind and the brain to form new neural circuits. My own recovery is the living proof of this neuroplasticity and completely underpins my fascination with this whole area of therapy, which purposefully utilises the power of the subconscious mind to heal both physical and emotional issues.”
