Lightening process

[Undisclosed]

I certainly didn't have the miracle recovery by the third day BUT there was a very small improvement just on the basis of removing the negative thoughts aspect and being more mindful about my situation, it enabled me to turn a corner instantly at the start of the onset of my 'true ME' and start using a combination of therapies to move towards recovery.

Removing negative thought aspects is akin to changing your thinking via CBT. It's a very expensive form of CBT. There is an underlying insidious suggestion in LP -- re: changing negative thoughts which is that you are contributing to staying ill related to your thinking. That is such a load of **%%$% that the Lightening Process promotes. I am not sure why people aren't up in arms after paying hundreds of pounds to help you change your negative thoughts and improve mindfulness. Tons of books, dozen of free sites on the internet.

when the LP practitioner called me she was convinced that LP had helped me over that month but in reality it was probably the GCMAF or Rerum.

Well of course she would say that, she is getting loads of cash to tell you lies.

I do think there is definitely some value in the LP and the concept of overriding the immune system with Psychological practice

I think there is absolutely no value in LP and the concept of overriding the immune system with psychological practice has absolutely no basis in reality whatsoever. No research to back it up. It likely works for helping to cope with things like anxiety, depression etc but for actual physical symptoms --no -- for the perception of physical symptoms -- likely but wears off.

I really don't like to see LP promoted in any manner on Phoenix Rising because some people think we support it, we do not. We allow all opinions about therapies and hopefully those who haven't heard about Lightening Process make the decision not to do it.

@Kina Maybe I should rephrase and make it clear that I am not promoting it as such (and could also do with the money I spent on it to use on more practical tests and treatments). I think at the time of doing it I was quite depressed and helpless in my situation so it helped me turn a corner psychologically and it will probably contribute to about 5% of my recovery should I recover (I am heading in the right direction but have used a lot of other methods). I wouldn't really recommend the LP to anyone, as you say, all the info is out there and there are a lot of meetup groups and free workshops for mindfulness - so in Hindsight I would do those but at the time I panicked and that is where they make their mmoney - from vulnerable people....
