Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. In this episode, I talk to healer Amy O'Day about 'Compassionate Self Healing'. Having suffered from autoimmune illnesses for decades Amy explains the way she finally cured herself of these seemingly incurable conditions. We discuss the critical importance of being allowed to express anger and emotion, how trans-generational trauma can create illness and why when we're triggered our inner 3 year old will often turn up to wanting to drive the truck. Please join me as we look at life through a different lens.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Autoimmune conditions and chronic illnesses are rooted in stored emotions, and the specific condition can be a signpost to the type of emotion that needs to be released. Suppressing emotions, especially anger, from childhood can lead to a build-up of rage that manifests as physical symptoms later in life. Remission is not the same as healing; true healing allows you to live life fully without the need for strict protocols or limitations. Compassionate self-healing involves collaborating with the practitioner to identify and release emotional threads, reclaim power, and update wounded parts of the self. Healing requires readiness and a willingness to let go of the identity attached to the illness, which can be challenging but ultimately liberating. Transgenerational trauma can contribute to chronic illness, and healing oneself can positively impact future generations. The belief meditation available on Amy’s YouTube channel can help release emotional threads and accelerate the healing process. BEST MOMENTS "There isn't one part of you that tells the story. There are multiple parts of you." "Remission is not switching off your illness... When you actually switch off your illness, you don't need anything anymore." "It takes courage to actually, to choose to be well."  "I have yet to get to a thread and not be able to get to, you know, what the memories are, even with people that have completely blanked out their childhood." "There is hope and I think that's really important just to give people hope, you know, that they can actually get in the driving seat with you as the instructor and they can, you know, and they can drive towards health."   ABOUT THE GUEST Blog Amy developed her own modality, Compassionate Self-Healing, after decades or personal research as a result of a lifetime of chronic illness. Imbalances for her, started as a small child, and the chronic illnesses piled on, gathering momentum with every decade. Eventually at 35, six months after the birth of her twin boys, her body gave way, culminating in several autoimmune conditions, complete burnout, and an inability to function. From there, she started the deep-dive into the research, working on everything from the microbiome and what the medical establishment could offer, nutrition, alternative therapies, energetic techniques, and researching trauma-release modalities. After even more illness ensued, she finally unlocked the key to her own individualised healing process by getting the exact answers she needed to what was at the root of her imbalances and switched off all of her autoimmune conditions and chronic illness. From there, she closed her successful design business of 22 years in order to pursue this work, and her professional practice began, realising the same phenomenal success in others that she had in herself. With a closed 2-year waiting list, she is now offering a teacher-training practice in order to spread the reach and message of the work, and offers different generalised techniques and healing meditations on TikTok and YouTube to help those beginning their work.   Socials & Contact https://linktr.ee/the.reconnected.self?utm_source=linktree   CONTACT METHOD FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/caropartridge LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/caroline-partridge-03131520 Instagram - https://
