In the last year I've been diagnosed with PTSD and it remains untreated. I noticed that my nervous system is often in a fight or flight state. I can feel the fear inside me in my body. It's in my abdomen - tightness. It's very tense there and I believe that must be where the trauma has been stored in my body. We internalize stress, fears, and anxieties and they manifest as physical symptoms and ailments. I should be treated for PTSD if I'm truly going to heal and move forward in my life. I think EMDR is out of pocket and not covered by insurance. But I am going to research this before I jump to any conclusions. I could do Reiki perhaps as an alternative. More to research, but it's there, present, I can feel the tension spot and I can feel the flight or fight physical and emotional state I am constantly in. It's rare that my body can truly relax. I am just NOW cluing into my body.

So I reached out to a friend who does Reiki energy healing work. I asked her for another session. She's worked on me before, and it did wonders for me.
