Patient Stories: Introduction

In this section I will share with you some of the stories of the work with my patients. I will give each the title of their western medical illness and tell you about how treatment progressed.

Reading stories about the experience of others has always been meaningful to me with struggles in my life. The stories have often given me a sense of belonging, that I am not alone in my illness. They have also bolstered my feeling that there are answers that may help me but may take a lot of searching over time to discover. Reading about the experience of others can give us clues about where to look in our own healing journey.
