I had 2 sessions with Tom and he is excellent. (he also offered another one for free when I reached out regarding struggling with an issue related to hearing certain songs that trigger lots of tears at bad moments and was willing to follow up, I just haven’t yet).
Tom was really professional, kind and amazing to work with. The main idea is to address “overall sadness” related to the loss and then a possible “connection” with our child during the session. For me (and apparently I am not standard as it related to the connection part, according to Tom, but I only have my experience to base anything on). What this helped me with tremendously was decreasing the sheer panic when I hear an ambulance, think about cremation and some other things that he worked on with me. It worked a lot like Irene’s sister’s group (I am forgetting her name), which I did early on, which had bilateral tapping and worked a miracle in getting a particular vision out of my head. He focuses on everything from the overall sadness to particular things that are upsetting and it worked really well especially on those events. I still get sad and can’t believe this is reality but this was a big help in reducing the trauma around it. It’s also a lot easier to focus on the connection part when we are less sad, which is what I was looking for.
The after life part is where I might be different. I think for most that Tom works with they are hoping to have that connection or vision as part of the process, which he makes time and space for, but I feel my son Evan’s energy all the time and he communicates with me moving his energy (he shows up in my lower face, which sounds weird but it’s true and then he moves his energy up my face for yes and down for no). So as I was in my sessions with Tom, Tom would check to see if I needed to keep working on a particular thing (like seeing ambulances) and I would check with Evan and Evan would tell me when to move on. So Evan was just part of the whole thing. That may be different than what other people may experience who may not have a regular connection like that– they may have something more dramatic, but that was my experience.
The entire experience was positive, incredibly beneficial and thank you for sharing him with HPH!
