Brendan came in for his regular session today looking tired. He went into the kids room and we could tell he was looking for something. The "tunnel" we have was folded and placed against the wall - when we pointed to it and said that was what he wanted.
In the past few months Brendan has been coming in and periodically going through this tunnel. Today was very unique as he went through the tunnel numerous times but each time stayed longer inside the tunnel. He would stop for five minutes and then move another foot; then stop for 20 minutes and again move. At one point when he started getting agitated I said "Push". He immediately came forward and was calm. It was as if we were watching him come down the birth canal (the tunnel can mimic the birth canal).
We believe in reversals. Reversals are defined as: the body mimicking a trauma or completing a biological process in order to effect recovery. When reversals are effective all aspects of the trauma reverse leaving a clean slate. Reversing any trauma is key to recovery. (More on this in an upcoming blog).
Brendan had a traumatic birth with his delivery via c-section. The first week of his life was spent in the NICU where he received various anesthesia's and underwent numerous medical procedures.
He spent the entire session going through the tunnel (we never went to the therapy room). When he left he was smiling and wanted to the take the tunnel home with him. We let him and we look forward to an update from his mom.
