I have suffered from childhood from atopic dermatitis (eczema) which for years hadn’t manifested itself. After a move to Paris, this forgotten illness was brought back rudely to mind.
The rhythm and the difficulties encountered at the time of my secondary school studies did not arrange matters, and provoked flares of eczema so strong and long-lasting that my school friends nicknamed me ” lizard ” for a while.
Very young, I had problems getting to sleep, (having led to anger outbursts now indelibly inscribed in the family annals) but also long and anxiety-ridden nights of insomnia.
It was then that I heard of the Audio-Vocal Centre and the techniques dispensed. I therefore decided to attempt the experience at the beginning of the year, without noticing any changes at the time of the first sessions.
However, you can imagine my surprise later when I realized that I was sleeping 6 to 7 hours a night, with a sleep that was both deep and refreshing ! If I still was having some difficulties getting to sleep, I was able to deal with the situation calmly (without anxiety) until the sleep came.
At the same time, I saw the patches of eczema diminish and disappear. Of course I am not completely free of the problem, but the bursts of eczema which in the past took between six months and one year to disappear (despite strong drug treatments) now need no more than one or two night’s sleep, together with the new-found ability to firmly separate my professional activity from my personal life.
The sessions at the Audio-Vocal Centre have thus provided me with well-being, a certain tranquility, as well as confidence in myself. This enables me even in my work, to supervise student nurses and pass on my knowledge, something which would have been unimaginable a few months ago…
