Theme - Anxiety regarding social situations
Brief History:-
Ann is an 18-year-old college student. She had already undergone PLR sessions with me, for one of her problems. We had discussed a few themes and had selected the theme which was the most intense for her. And she is totally satisfied with the results it brought in her life. Now she wanted to have a session to deal with another of her equally pressing issues, which is her ‘anxiety regarding social situations’.
Here is a brief history about her. Born in a small town in Kochi, Kerala, her early years were spent surrounded by the love and warmth of her family, which includes her father, mother, and younger brother. Ann enjoyed a carefree childhood, having lived abroad from the age of one to fourteen and had a multicultural upbringing but faced bullying in primary school due to her introverted nature and differences in appearance. Although she gradually found friends in middle school and began rebuilding her confidence, remnants of these challenges still lingered, creating barriers to social interaction.
Today, Ann is a college student pursuing her degree. She describes herself as spiritual rather than religious, finding solace in practices like meditation that help her connect with her inner self.

Induction started with Dave Elman, Progressive Relaxation, Ball of light, Garden of Peace and proceeded through Affect bridge which was the “Anxiety regarding social situations” and suggested to go back to the time where it first started.

(In her previous sessions also Ann had felt the presence of her Guardian Angel)

C- I feel happy and protected.
T- Listen for any messages from your angel.
C- “Let the heart guide you always”.

C- Yes.
Took her back through the Affect bridge and burned it. Spent some time in the garden for her to relax and then emerged her out of the session gradually.
Reflection and integration:-
T- Ann, reflecting on your current life childhood incidence and past life experiences as Finn, how do you feel this impacts your current life?
C- In my current life, the incident at the school assembly had knowingly or unknowingly affected me in such a way that it always created a block in my involvement in any such social situations. I was clinging to my past experience which created hindrances in my present. Finn was also stuck in the past as he did not attempt to resolve the conflict with his best friend, and only after reconciling with his friend in his eighties, could he die at peace. He waited till the end of his life to resolve it. It is a big lesson for me, to not allow my past issues to affect my present and future. If it is solvable then it’s better to do so. Otherwise it’s best to accept the situation and move on with life.
T- That was a profound learning you could receive from this experience. I’m sure you will be able to integrate all these learnings in your life ahead. May you always be guided by your heart.
Wish you all the best!
