In the past insecurity, internal pressure, and fear accompanied my life. But about three years ago, the fear increased to such a depressing condition that it needed to be solved. I did not sleep well. In the mornings I felt I couldn’t get up to do anything, and I often felt paralyzed by the fear. I hardly found any peace.
Through the study of Christian Science, I had already had a number of physical healings over the past years (including from neurodermatitis and several allergies), and I had also overcome other difficulties. However, now constant fear determined my thinking. But my usual way of praying, which had always been so freeing, seemed hardly possible. That’s why I turned to psychotherapy for help. Through my profession as Gestalt therapist, it felt natural to me to meet this crisis, among others, by an understanding of and acknowledging the background of my experiences. However, the fear continued.
In a moment of deep despair, I turned to God with all my heart asking Him to show me a way out of the fear. I now was ready to yield to His direction completely. This was the turning point.
