Was what one young lady who came to me suffering from anxiety announced as she lay on the treatment couch.

โWhen her hands were on my head I could see colours that Iโd never seen before, really vividly. They were beautiful bright pinks and purples. I felt really intensely happy, so much so that I was trying not to smile. I could see the silhouette of a pair of hands making calming rocking motions. I thought maybe they were Niamhโs hands, and I could see them through my eyelids but when I opened my eyes to check I realised they werenโt hers. I felt very at peace and was overcome by a feeling of pure contentment. When they went away, I felt kind of sad, and wanted them back as their presence was really comforting. I then became very aware of my body and could feel parts of it that I donโt think Iโve ever felt before. There were strange, tingly pulses in my legs. I was super aware of my position and felt like my spine was misaligned with my legs, to the extent that I had to adjust to feel โstraight.โ I began to feel sad, but in an intense way and it felt almost good? Sort of cathartic, like it was good to feel it and everything was just right. I became a bit overwhelmed and scared for a bit as what I was feeling was really weird and intense and Iโve never felt anything like it. ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ธ๐ถ ๐บ๐๐๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ ๐ฎ๐ ๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐ป๐ผ ๐ผ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฒ๐
