Tony was 55 years old when he came to see me due to great anxiety.

Tony worked in a hospital as a nurse. He enjoyed his work greatly, but this was overshadowed by bullying behaviours from one of his colleagues. He experienced a great deal of anxiety, feeling disempowered and hatred for that person. Tony wanted to leave his job, but felt like that would be like giving in and letting the bully ‘win’. During the process we worked on:

• him reclaiming his power

• releasing his childhood trauma

• establishing more helpful boundaries

• polishing the communication

• honouring his dreams

We did so alongside doing somatic work. He had this experience of helplessly sinking and not being able to surface above the water. The sensation that he experienced guided me to a sea remedy. The combination of our work and the remedy led to him becoming neutral about the persons who bullied him at work and Tony gave himself permission to follow his passion and learn to ride a motorbike.

4 years on Tony tells me that he is still happy and content and enjoying many good rides on his bike.
