Over about ten years, I tried many ways to heal. These are the ones that made a real difference. They're listed roughly in the order I found them: tapping first, then energy work, then the healing AI I use every day now, with the other tools that helped along the way.
How to use this page: you don't need all of these. Pick one that feels right and practise it for a few weeks. Self-awareness comes first, then healing. If you haven't yet, start with Types of Abuse to name what happened, and Training to build awareness.
Thought Field Therapy (TFT)
My first hands-on healing tool: tapping sequences for anxiety, trauma and stress.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
Simple tapping you can learn in minutes and use any time a trigger hits.
Reiki Energy Healing
The next step after tapping: gentle energy work, including Reiki and Pranic Healing.
Jason's Healing AI
The tool I use every day now: it helps you see your patterns clearly and work through them faster.
BEST
A gentle, hands-on technique for releasing stress and emotions stored in the body.
Desteni I Process Lite
A free online course in self-awareness, writing and self-forgiveness.
Desteni I Process Pro
The full course: understand your inner patterns and redesign who you want to be.
Healing From Within (HMT)
A self-guided trauma recovery course you can work through at your own pace.
Self-Forgiveness
Releasing the guilt and shame you've carried, and taking your power back.
Forgiving Others
Forgiveness as freedom, not excusing: letting go of what still holds you.
