A Mother's Story of Grief

How Fran Fisher Started to Find Relief After Her Son's Passing

Below is a testimonial written by Fran Fisher:

"On February 4th 2013 my son shot himself in the head in my home, in my chair. 

This occurred the day after I returned from a training where I internally addressed ongoing issues with my son and determined to create a firm boundary around his behavior in my home.

When faced with a drunken man, who had driven my car home from the bar I stood in my power and told him he would have to leave in the morning when he sobered up; five minutes later he was dead.

This was the trauma I shared with Satyen Raja in a telephone call three weeks later, the day before I was scheduled to leave on a lecture tour to China.  I was an emotional wreck but the thought of escaping my home was something of a relief. 

However, the thought of actually having to function on the tour was beyond my mental or emotional capacity.

This was when Satyen offered to do a Skype session with me and explained he would be running a "procedure" for me. 

Without understanding exactly what was entailed, I put my trust in him and sat down in front of my computer in a daze, five hours before I left for the airport.  

Satyen ran what he called the "Trauma Release process,"  in less than one hour he took me through the awful events of that night and the agony disappeared but even more amazingly helped me connect on both a physical and spiritual level with my son which helped me resolve some of the agony and despair of the trauma. 

There was more work to do of course, grief of this sort cannot be resolved in an hour.  But, the very fact that I felt stable emotionally, I actually felt like a protective wall had been formed around my heart and I could walk the walk and talk the talk for two weeks knowing that when I got home from China I was going to continue this work with Satyen soon after.

For someone dealing with any trauma, I can only speak my truth from my own experience, it works and it works fast and it sticks, it is not a passing fad. 

The trauma is addressed head on and resolved as you go.  As I continue to work on residual pain in my heart I am going to teach my grief counselor at home this process so that she can run it for me occasionally to check on my recovery.  I know she will find it intriguing and I hope she will also find it a very useful tool in her arsenal when dealing with such pain.

I have been an AASECT certified sexuality counselor for fifteen years, I have a private practice and  have also been an RN for forty two years, always working actively in the field.  I am a Ph.D in Human Sexuality and have spent most of my life learning and growing, spending tens of thousands of dollars on a life time of learning.  It astonished me and actually made me laugh out loud when I realized how much I would have saved had I studied these concepts twenty years ago.

This is the message I now tell my clients as I use these techniques in my practice: the work we will do today is just about to save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars but even more importantly than that, you will actually resolve your problems in hours rather than months or years (if ever) and live the lives you were meant to live...in light and joy not heart ache and misery.

Thank you Satyen for all your work and for your strength and support."
