One of the things that made the most sense to me about the Lightning Process was its explanation of the Physiological Emergency Response. At last, something I could get hold of that explained why I had got stuck in this cycle of exhaustion and strange symptoms that doctors could give me a label for but could not explain. For some reason my body had got stuck in a way of responding to physical and/or emotional stress, whether it was an initial illness or a bereavement or something else entirely, that meant my sympathetic nervous system was sending and receiving confused messages.
Now I have met many people with unexplained symptoms and I realise this response may be affecting all sorts of people at different times in their lives - sometimes after a virus or an operation; anything which puts stress on their body.
What the Lightning Process gave me was a way of interrupting that response and creating new ways of responding. Quite simple really!
