Hi 👋 I’m Sonja I have late dx Bipolar 1 & Borderline Personality Disorder both in remission by natural & lifestyle plus very very late dx/very recent Inattentive ADHD & Autism, (History of PTSD/cPTSD/GAD) Dx at 49 with Bipolar & BPD at 52 & #AuDHD just this year! All my belated diagnoses have helped me as maps to manage this extreme combination of conditions. Never medicated, never hospitalised, my blogs contain a distillation of the natural means i’ve found useful to date. This is a new blog as I feel like I’m a new person now that I’ve finally got all the pieces I need to make sense out of my broken/different physiology, nervous system & psychology.

EFT

 Emotional Freedom Technique

A form of meridian tapping plus kind of affirmation sequences for mental, emotional, nervous system health I’m sure you’ve heard of it. Anyway just a personal note.

I hate it. I had a very bad time with EFT about 15 yrs ago - it absolutely acerbated my nervous system dysfunction & therefore my mood.

Now, knowing I have Sensory Processing form of Autism plus inattentive ADHD, I believe it was just massively overstimulating to my nervous system. It may have helped me at another time in my life when my nervous system was not so badly damaged but now I instinctively trust it not.

It was all the rage at one point in Totnes natural health circles & as ever I gave it more than a fair shot & as is typical for me, pushed on with it when I should have stopped, being entirely without support or guidance with a truly nasty & disorienting line up of nervous system issues.
