eponagirl,

When a client tells you a symptoms, you might try repeating it out loud. This may help you process it better. Repeating it out loud puts the thought through a different part of the brain than if you just try to keep it silently in your mind.

You can even repeat it out loud as you touch the body part that it is related to. This adds touch senses to the brain's processing.

I have learned to use this work-around almost subconsciously. It can make it appear like your brain is fully functional.

The concept is called 'multi-sensory' processing. By including other senses in the process, you improve the brain's ability to remember and properly process the issue.

The clock thing is common. The brain needs to process two different bits of information and sometimes gets them out of order. In the past, you could easily do this multi-task processing. Now, you may need to stop, consider the hour hand, then process the minute hand.

It sounds like you have some similar visual memory/processing symptoms like I have. Accepting that you have these struggles allows you to use work-arounds to solve visual problems.


What benefit did you get from the Cranial Sacral Therapy? A good CST therapist can be good for the cervical spine.

My best to you.
