Resolving Learning Disabilities

Working with children that have learning disabilities can be exhausting and very frustrating. I have had children with ADD and dyslexia, and my youngest daughter is mentally handicapped. 

My children who had ADD and dyslexia have become free of the symptoms of their disabilities. 

And even though our daughter with severe learning disabilities isn’t learning up to her age level yet, she continues to learn new things and become more cognitive.  We still have a lot of work to do, but with emotional release, I know improvement continues to be possible.

Healing the Brain’s Connections

Several years ago, a friend referred me to a wonderful book by Barbara Arrowsmith-Young called “The Woman Who Changed Her Brain and Other Inspiring Stories of Pioneering Brain Transformation.” In it, she tells of 19 learning difficulties and the process she uses to help people with these difficulties.

As I read it, I realized how many learning difficulties my daughter had, and I knew intuitively that many places in her brain weren’t connecting well.

I started working on the emotions and disconnects of her brain using the emotional release method. At first it didn’t seem to help. But then I realized we’d made huge progress when she started to remember things better.

The Work I’ve Done

Over the years, I have helped many children with a variety of learning difficulties. Many of them have had great improvement and seem to have normal ability after as little as 2 or 3 sessions.

I once worked with an 8-year-old girl who really struggled with reading. I worked with her for two sessions and then felt that we were finished. I told her and her mother that reading would probably be easier in three weeks, after her brain had time to start to reconnect properly.

Two weeks later the mother called me. She said her daughter wanted to tell me that I was wrong…it had only been two weeks and she was reading easily now!

I was happy to be wrong in that case.

With Time, It Works

I have witnessed many other children who struggled with reading or math improve to normal levels.  I have seen adults with auditory processing problems change and communicate better.

It takes a few sessions and time to develop and practice new skills (the brain takes more time to make connections than the rest of the body does), but it works.

It’s a great blessing that our brain can heal and reconnect.

For decades, the opinion of doctors and psychologists was that the brain cells could not heal and that we are stuck with the problems or brain damage we may have.

Gratefully, we understand now that this belief is wrong. The brain can heal. (As well as the nervous system!) It takes a bit more time than the rest of the body, but it can heal.

Isn’t the human body miraculous?
