Over time, my focus has shifted more towards the BetterHealthGuy Blogcast podcast.  While I have left much of the older site content, please note that older content may no longer be relevant or even consistent with my current view on health and wellness.  As time permits, I will continue to adjust earlier content as able.  Thanks for your interest and support!

One of the many things I've learned throughout my journey is how important it is to work on the emotional level as much as the physical level; possibly more.  Whether emotional conflicts or traumas set the stage for illness or the emotional issues were the results of struggling through something as difficult as Lyme and all that comes with it, addressing the emotional body is critical for wellness.  One has to feel connected to clan and feel that they deserve and are worthy of wellness.  If you do not resonate with deserving wellness, it is unlikely that it will ever be attained.

I've used numerous systems, techniques, and healers throughout my own journey to improve my emotional and mental health as well as my physical health, and I do think that doing so was very important.  Recently, I asked some of my Facebook followers for resources that they have found helpful in working through the emotional aspect of Lyme disease.  I was excited by the responses that I received and decided to make a blog post out of it so that the information wasn't eventually lost or buried in Mark Zuckerberg's supercomputers.

Here's a list of some resources that you may find helpful in exploring emotional health:

Amy B. Scher has recovered from Lyme as fully and completely as anyone I have observed over the years.  The emotional work was a key part of her own recovery.  Fortunately for us, she is now a gifted practitioner that works by phone. Amy focuses on helping clients release emotional blocks and patterns so they can move forward in their healing.  I have worked with her many times and find her work very helpful. 

Tami Duncan at Epiphany Healing Arts is a gifted healer.  I have had sessions with her personally that I found very helpful.  She and her family have experienced Lyme and her son has recovered from autism.  She is a great resource with a kind and loving heart.
