Detox
Some patients feel worse before they feel better. Some patients move forward without any detox symptoms. Detox symptoms can be your physical issues feeling worse, old emotional patterns returning or getting louder, or relationships becoming more unstable. People who suffer from fear and control issues tend to have worse detox symptoms. If you experience detox, get lots of rest, eat healthy food, and be gentle with yourself. Drinking plenty of water, having quiet time, and minimizing stress also helps. I understand that I may experience physical or emotional detox as a result of my treatment.
