Carmen's Story of Dupuytren
​“Hi, my name is Carmen. Four years ago I was diagnosed with a rare disease called Dupuytren. Nodules started to develop and join together on the palm of my hands, causing the fingers to contract, loosing mobility and having persistent pain.
Two years ago I decided for an operation to separate the nodules, with a less aggressive system than a traditional operation. Being right handed, my right palm would go first, so if a wasn’t able to go through a second operation, at least I would be better off with my dominant hand. During the operation, they touched some nerves in my hand, leaving my middle and ring finger numb.
Nodules grew on my left hand, on my thumb and also on my pinkie finger causing this one to bend. To brake up the knot that united the two nodules on my pinkie, I resorted to another small operation that left me with a strong and constant pain on my little finger, my palm and the outer edge of my hand. Certainly my hands where moving better, but as time passed I could see my pinkie finger curving again, and the pain and the numbness was never ending. I felt left on my own thinking that there wasn't a way to get better at all. The whole situation was causing me a lot of distress and anxiety and left me feeling hopeless and a bit depressed.
At my daughters suggestion, I contacted Veronika and had my first RTT session. Immediately after it, my hand was less painful. Next day, I started my 21 days of listening to the personal recording she made for me. To my surprise, as days passed, I began to have better fingers mobility on both hands and the pain was decreasing. Although the middle and ring fingers in my right hand where still asleep, I already felt much less discomfort on my left hand.
I went back for a second RTT session a month later. After this second session, I could get my pinkie on my left hand almost strait and the pain was gone! On my right hand, my middle and ring finger where not numb anymore, even if they still feel a bit sensitive. They are almost strait, and without pain. I can’t be happier about it! And I still hear my recordings to keep improving.”
A Story Worth Sharing...
​​​Carmen had the Discovery Call and all sessions through video call. I was very strait forward with her that I never had a client with Dupuytren, but that with RTT we usually work on the base of 3 sessions. I also explained her the importance of doing her part, participating actively in her process, listening daily to her personal recording for 21 days, after each RTT session. She decided to go for 2 sessions of RTT and 2 hours of mentoring.
​Next day, we had her first one-on-one mentoring session. I really wanted to understand the problems she was dealing with. I made her promise never again refer to it, like “her illness or write it with a capital letter”. I wanted her to be in the right mindset to help her get rid of "it" the more as possible.
​During our conversation, she told me that when young, she used to be praised a lot for having beautiful hands and nails. She made silence as she proceeded to show me her hands on camera, so I could see the contractions on her fingers. Tears showed up in her eyes while telling me that, as bad as the pain was, as a woman near her 70th birthday, she really longed not having pretty hands anymore. She explained me that the pain and numbness was driving her restless, upset and constantly self-aware. But none of them looked like leaving her for the moment. Not able to find relief, she stopped doing the things she liked, like creating things with her hands or taking care of her garden. She limited herself only to essential activities like cooking and cleaning, but still needed extra help to get them done. Gloves where difficult to use and annoyed her even more. She was taking pain killers daily when the pain got unbearable, but she didn’t like them, neither she wanted to depend on them the rest of her life. Also, the pain killers were not going to stop the illness from developing.
As most people, she already tried everything that could work and was aware of all type of treatment’s available and its consequences. Carmen sounded hopeless and sad. I could hear through her voice, that she has almost given in to, that there was no relief for her hands condition.
Carmen's First RTT Session
​During her first session of RTT Carmen had a lot of aha moments and she noticed that there was less pain in her left hand. Next day I sent her personal recording which she started listening to for 21 days. 7 days later, during the follow up call to check her progress, she was absolutely thrilled that she had less pain in her hands. I encouraged her to keep listening to the recording. On the second follow-up call she told me there was a huge improvement and that her little finger was getting everyday straighter.
The Second RTT Session
A month passed when we had her second Mentoring and RTT Session. After her second RTT Session, the pain in her left hand was gone and she even noticed that the numbness of her right hand was much less and bearable. She decided to keep on listening to her recordings past the 21 days, to keep working on herself. Two months after her first RTT session, a new Carmen smiling with absolute delight, was showing me on camera, how strait her pinkie finger was!
As Carmen, we all have been there at some point where difficulty's appear, stress kicks in or we get sick. Our mind, trying to help us out, sometimes ends up working against us. And in these situations our mind helps us create illness. I am not talking of psychosomatic symptoms, but real tangible illness. But the same mind that helped to create the symptoms can stop them.
How can we achieve this with RTT? First we uncover the cause of the issue, like negative emotions, pain, habits and beliefs. Second, we transform and replace it, giving the mind the right instructions. Third, by listening to the personal recording for 21 days we can get permanent changes.
During both sessions, even when Carmen had her light bulb moments and got emotional, in comparison to anything else, RTT was physically painless, without negative side effects or consequences, and with no recovery time needed. She was able to save money on her treatment and to manage her own progress. She felt happy again, not only for the results but because, as a bonus, she recovered her self-power and self-belief.
To finish Carmen’s story, I am happy to share with you that thanks to RTT the woman that came to me in pain, hopeless and depressed, no longer exists. Instead, there is a new lady out there with beautiful hands doing what she loves.
​If you are here reading Carmen’s testimonial, why don’t you give RTT a try? Whatever your problem is, you have nothing to lose, except pain, discomfort, negative beliefs and emotions, that are not serving you well. I honestly encourage you, because any amount of transformation for the better, is worth it.
