I went to Alex’s clinic for help with recovering from M.E. The main part of my session involved using techniques Alex had developed for working with M.E., which were mentioned in his book ‘WHY ME?’. Going through this process I realised how much tension I had been creating for myself through my thought processes and how this had contributed to my fatigue. Releasing the tension during the session was an emotional experience but an astonishingly liberating one. I practiced the techniques all the way home!
Later that evening I slept for a couple of hours and then went on to have the best night’s sleep I have had in quite some time. I awoke the next day feeling refreshed in a way that I hadn’t experienced since the onset of the illness eleven years ago and this feeling has continued since then. I now need around two hours less sleep every day than I did before I went to the clinic and feel much more peaceful and relaxed throughout the day. The coaching side of things has left me feeling excited and positive about the future without the usual anxiety and stress. I would recommend sessions with Alex to anyone who has M.E. and can identify with feelings of stress, tension or anxiousness about how the illness limits them.
Alex has a passion for helping people and this really came through during the session. His focus and concentration are total and I felt he really cared about me personally. This is borne out by him keeping in touch via e-mail on my progress, which there is no charge for! All in all one of the most important things I have done for my progress towards full recovery.
Since writing Ben has gone on to make a full recovery, and is now working full time in Germany.
