The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
- Marcel Proust
Beverly Searle – Discusses nuances of healing Dissociative Identity Disorder [DID], Anorexia, PTSD, and Depression. At the moment Beverly is finishing an evidence-based research project with a Ph.D. student investigating the use of her personalized recovery process on people who had experienced trauma at work. Preliminary results show there was up to an 80% improvement in 10 hours of therapy. She is an independent researcher in the trauma/adversity landscape and is focused on thousands who have had negative, traumatic life experiences. This is the second time for Beverly here at CBJ & focuses on her considerable experience with DID.
Personal Note From Beverly
"Everything about the recovery process that I teach in my practice was first accomplished addressing my own past conflicts - the embryonic theory I did in my own head! I adjusted each step, tuned and adjusted again until the step worked! I have family and friends who let me try this approach out on them who suffered from anxiety and PTSD issues. Weren’t they wonderful to do this?
Then I added another part or step and started all over again with the testing, and adjusting. My friends also gave me suggestions which I then tried out and if they worked (again in my own head) I would add this my recovery plan until it became a complete formula, an 8 step process, 4 which can be done as a Self Help process and 5-8 with a counselor/therapist.
My practice can find application in a variety of challenges including PTSD, Anorexia, and Dissociative Identity Disorder. My first client who was suffering from anorexia for over 15 years was able to alleviate within 3 months and has never looked back since then. Download the free report on my website, and you can read her testimonial."
Most relevant for this CBJ/165 Episode: these steps also apply to Dissociative Identity Disorder.
