Healing is a process, not an event - Gillespie Approach–Craniosacral Fascial Therapy

Healing Is a Process, Not an Event

These are my general thoughts about an adult suffering with chronic headaches who is thinking about therapy.

If you want to continue to manage your problem with meds or by other means, that is your choice. If you are looking to find the structural root cause and correct your problem, then going down the Gillespie Approach rabbit hole may be a good option for you.

You will almost certainly be presenting with a zero-second brain cycle and a tight fascial web. My job will be to listen to your body and help you free up your restricted craniosacral fascial system. Over time your looser body can help to relieve the pressure in your head.

I will be your guide as you revisit the traumas of your life. It can be hard. It may take a lot of visits. It may take time. It will cost money. There will be ups and downs. Healing is a process, not an event.

You may need to relive your birth traumas and experience difficult emotional releases. You may have to clean up your lifestyle habits and dietary ways. All of this requires a commitment. It can be very hard to do.

What would life look like on the other side of your headaches?
