My daughter is extremely anxious...

:confused:

My daughter Taylor is nine. Her entire life she has been very anxious. Frightens easily. She reminds me off a scaredy-cat. Since she was an infant she has always been on edge. When I held her she would have her arm extended out up in the air - rigid. Her entire body was always tight and stiff. It has always been difficult to get her body to be limp and relaxed. She is very muscular and lean.

Shortly after we moved into our home that we built, Taylor was three-and-a-half , she has been very difficult to put to sleep. She always sleeps away from the door of her bedroom - pertrified, currently she sleeps with a pillow standing propped up creating a cave like affect. Not long after we moved in she frantically explained that there is a carrot man in the door. Then later, she explained that the reason why she called him carrot man is because his shadow and silouette were shaped like a carrot. She said that he was not bad and very nice and his name was Brownie. At the time she was not capable of naming any of her dolls a name that was this clever. The names were Shaleelee and Shlala, etc. She told me Brownie and her came and looked at me while I was sleeping. He told her that he loved me very much and that I was a good mother. In time, she never brought up this man who visits her at night. I had asked her about him over the years and she has stated that he lived in Mexico and had a wife, a dog named Pele' (sp) and cat named Penny. Recently, when asked she said she made it all up and seems very confused by the subject. I can definitely rule out anyone else in the home that was coming into her room.

What is so disturbing about Taylor's behavior, is that she moves through the house on edge - darting, racing frantically from one room to the next - completely incapable of being in a room by herself. The toilet area is the only place where she is capable of being alone, however, the process in getting her to that room is straight out of a horror film...begging and pleading with someone in the house to join her in her incredible voyage to the bathroom or any room for that matter. In a sheer, frantic sprint she will fly down the hallway. I cannot count the number of times we have collided, full-force into one another coming around corners as she is racing to her destination in the house to get a toy or pillow, etc. She screams bloody murder if you challenge her or push her to do something that she is not prepared to do.

Recently, I am piecing together threads of my own mystery of my reincarnations. I attended a seminar with Brian Weiss, author of Many Lives, Many Master and feel strongly that I need to facilitate a past life regression for Taylor. Her life is unmanageable at the delicate, fresh age of 9. I cannot stand for her to suffer another day. Can someone help me find a therapist or guide that I can take her to?

Gratefully,

Jennifer
 
HI Jennifer and welcome.

May I suggest that you contact Carol Bowman and ask for her advise? She would be better able to point you to someone that specializes in working with children.

I have a few questions. Do your memories and your daughters have simularities? Do you share past life memories? How long have you been having experiences? Have you read any of Carol's books yet? Specifically the first one titled Children's Past Lives and the chapter about triggers? If you cannot reach Carol - please let me know -I will contact her on your behalf.
 
I happened upon this site in haste and admit that I have no knowledge of Carol Bowman, the book she wrote or how to contact her. I see now that there is a network of knowledgeable people to connect with and resources to facilitate something on my daughters behalf. I just do not know where to begin.

Your pointing me in the right direction is much appreciated.

What would be the best way to contact Carol or should I just read the book first?

As far as the similar past life paralels with my daughter - she has not shared any with me. As for myself, I started having re-occurring nightmares as far back as I can remember. I once woke up trying to strangle myself. Once a few years ago I looked into a mirror in the dream and it was not me. I was raised in a very strict Christian home, but by a mother who had experienced psychic abilities. She shut it down by the request of a church leader because it was dangerous in their opinion - an invitation to the possibilities of evil ( :eek: Yikes!!!).

I always laughed and made jokes that I was experiencing past life memories. Only recently after a Reiki attunemnet did I start seeing images outside of my dreams when I would lay my hands on people and on myself. I feel more and more convinced of the belief in past lives.

Thank You sooo much for your response and direction!

Graciously,

Jennifer
 
Welcome to the forum Jennifer! :)

I agree with Deborah that you should contact Carol Bowman... She will be able to recommend someone to help Taylor.
In the meantime you will probably like to check out this link.
It will give you a list of therapists all over the country.

I also have a few questions...
You said that Taylor saw a man at her bedroom door... Can she still see him?
Does she remember having another life?
Has she ever mentioned the reason why she is so scared of being alone in a room?

Thanks for sharing your story with us and please keep us posted. :)
 
Hi Fab,

Thanks for the link - excellent!!!

In answer to your questions. No, Taylor does not see him in the door way anymore. I questioned her pretty thoroughly this evening and without getting into something to lengthy on the forum, her answers made sense as to her paranoias of being alone- namely that she is afraid a man is going to come and steal her away. But this does not negate the fact that she has acted this way her whole life - progressively getting worse after her father and I divorced. It also does not explain her Brownie character or the horrific nightmares that have tramatized her as far back as I can remember.

She has shared some of her dreams with me over the years, however, I never had listened to them with the idea that reincarnation existed. Now that I myself have started to investigate the possibilities I intend to discuss some of her dreams on this premis - starting tomorrow evening.

I emailed some therapists listed on the link you gave me. Thank you for directing me to this site. Wish us luck!

Graciously,

Jennifer
 
Hi Fab,

I had one of the psycotherapists from the site you included as a link in your earlier response contact me to discuss my daughter Taylor's behavior.

I will be sure to share on the forum what we are able to unearth.

Thank you again!

Jennifer
 
I also wanted to add that you should read CHILDREN'S PAST LIVES...
It will help you understand how PL memories can influence kids... ;)
 
I thought that would be a good idea to read the book too. I just ordered it on this sites link. :) Thank you so much for your support! Jennifer
 
Hi Fab,

Taylor is doing much better after having talked with me about her fears, however, I have set an appointment with someone on Wed to go under hypnosis and possibly a past life regression if possible.

On Saturday I am going to have her meet with a child therapist.

Hopefully, we will find some answers and bring her some peace of mind

Thank you for checking in on us! :o

Jennifer
 
Hi Jennifer!:)

It's been a while since we've heard from you...
How is Taylor doing after seen the therapist?
Keep us posted. ;)
 
HI Jentell,
I too am interested in hearing what happens with Taylor. My son is 5 now, and also has past life memories and extreme night time fears. I thought you were in my home for a minute describing my son when you wrote about your daughter darting from room to room afraid to be alone. This has been life long for us also.
I'd be curious to knwo what you find out and will also check into Fab's link.

I can empathize with you, my oldest is the same way. She must be able to see the doorway when she sleeps, runs up and down the stairs. She says she can feel someone right behind her on the stairs - I have had that feeling, too. I solved the problem in my house by letting them sleep with a tv on ... with the screen darkened, sound really low. Sometimes they must sleep with an air conditioner on to drown out the extra sounds. I have learned to be flexible, and roll with the punches.

My heart goes out to you. Best wishes!
