The patient had suffered for several years from spastic colon, panic attacks, inability to sleep, headaches, and sudden collapses of energy such that he could not drive or even walk with assurance. Doctors concluded that he had a neurological syndrome related to Parkinson's Disease. He was heavily medicated on drugs for Parkinson's, antidepressants, Klonipin for his anxiety, and Ambien for sleep problems. When evaluated at a sleep clinic, the technicians said they could not evaluate his condition because he slept for only eighteen minutes during the entire night! His condition continued to worsen. He was unable to work, was on temporary disability, and feared he would soon die if his doctors could not treat his condition.

Following the first session, which you will see, nearly all of the patient's somatic complaints ended. He returned to work after the first session. Within one week the patient's energy had returned and he was beginning to sleep through the night for the first time in several years. By the end of ten sessions all physical symptoms were gone, he was off all medication, and his physician said he looked better than he had in twenty years.
