Finding Balance: How Shamanic Treatments Can Help Ease ADHD

Today I want to talk about something that hits close to home for many, including my own family —ADHD. You’ve probably heard the term a lot these days. It’s that feeling of being all over the place, mentally scattered, or full of energy you just can’t seem to focus. Whether you or someone you know has ADHD ( I have several family members with ADHD), it can be tough to manage in today’s fast-paced world. There’s no shortage of traditional treatments, like medications and therapy, but did you know that shamanic practices can also help? Yep, that’s right. These ancient healing methods could offer real relief for those with ADHD.

What’s ADHD, and Why Is It So Tough?

Let’s break this down a bit. ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is often summed up as trouble paying attention or being super hyper. But it’s so much more than that. For some people, it feels like your brain is buzzing with a thousand thoughts, jumping from one thing to the next without being able to focus on any one of them. Or maybe you get overwhelmed easily, have difficulty organizing your life, or find it impossible to sit still. Sound familiar?

Whether you’re a child, teen, or adult, ADHD can make it hard to keep up with daily life – work, school, relationships. Most people manage it with medication or behavioral therapy, which can work great. But some find that conventional routes don’t feel quite right for them, or they want something more holistic. This is where shamanic treatments come into play.

What Is Shamanism, Anyway?

Shamanism is medicine for the Soul… If you’re new to the concept of shamanism, it’s essentially an ancient spiritual practice that’s been around for thousands of years. Shamans—like me—work as healers, not just for the body but for the mind and spirit too. Shamanism taps into the natural world, the energy around us, and the spirit realm to bring balance and healing. Think of it as a way to reconnect with yourself on a deep, soulful level.

Now, every shaman works a little differently depending on their training/cultural background, but the goal is usually the same: to restore harmony in your life, whether you’re dealing with physical pain, emotional trauma, or, yes, even something like ADHD.

Shamanic Treatments for ADHD

So how can shamanic practices actually help with ADHD? It all comes down to the idea that our struggles aren’t just “in our heads.” In shamanic belief, mental and emotional challenges often reflect a spiritual or energetic imbalance. For someone with ADHD, this might mean they’ve lost touch with a key part of their essence—what we shamans call the Soul. Or, they may be holding onto stuck energy that’s clogging up their ability to focus or stay grounded.

One powerful shamanic technique for dealing with this is called soul retrieval. It’s exactly what it sounds like—retrieving lost parts of your soul. When we go through trauma or life challenges, pieces of our soul can get fragmented or disconnected. For someone with ADHD, this might translate to feeling scattered, disconnected, or like you’re not fully present. Through a soul retrieval ceremony, I (or another experienced shaman) help guide you to bring those pieces back, leaving you feeling more whole and centered.

Another shamanic approach is energy healing. Just like the physical body can get blocked up (think stiff neck or back pain), your energy field can also get congested. This congestion can make you feel distracted, anxious, or out of balance. Through energy healing practices those blocks are removed, allowing your energy to flow freely again. With a clearer energy field, many people find it easier to focus and feel less overwhelmed.

Why Shamanic Treatments Can Make a Difference

I’ve worked with people who’ve felt like ADHD made them chaotic, disorganized, and out of control. Through shamanic practices, we’ve seen real shifts happen. And no, I’m not saying it’s some instant magic cure—healing is a process. But here’s why these treatments can make a difference for people with ADHD:

Healing the Whole Person: Shamanism doesn’t just focus on the symptoms of ADHD. Instead, we look at the whole person—mind, body, spirit. This means we can address the root cause of what’s throwing you off balance, whether that’s a lost soul fragment, stuck energy, spirit attachments or a disconnection from your deeper self. (click on the linked topics to learn more about these issues)

Personalized Healing: Every person is different, so every healing session is unique. Each person will have their own healings needs at any given time. A client with ADHD might need a soul retrieval, or power animal retrieval, or a soul piece retrieval or a compassionate depossession on the day of our session – it all depends on that moment and where the person is on their SoulPath.

Being Shown Your Own Unique Path

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach in shamanism. The healing process and focus becomes a very natural one, because in that moment that healing and focus is what is needed and results are experienced as the logical ‘fit’ for the person for that time. Having experienced this “well of course this makes sense – I see it” moment, people see that their healing path is following their unique SoulPath. And that path helps to ‘retune our energy wiring’ which then allows us to attune our SoulEar to guides us towards the paths and experiences that are for our highest and best good.

Empowering You: Shamanic practices are all about helping you connect with your own inner power. You’re not just a passive recipient in the process. Through things like journeying (a meditative state where you connect with spirit guides), you can tap into your own intuition and find clarity. Many people with ADHD feel more grounded and empowered to handle their challenges after these experiences.

Spiritual and Emotional Insight: A lot of people with ADHD describe a sense of feeling out of place or misunderstood. Shamanism offers a way to connect with something bigger than yourself, whether that’s nature, the spirit realm, or your own soul. This can give you a deeper sense of purpose and belonging, which, in turn, helps ease the mental chaos.

A Word of Note…

Shamanic healing is to be implemented in a complementary, and not as a replacement to medications and medical treatment. If you’re currently using medication or therapy for ADHD, you don’t have to give that up to explore shamanism. These treatments can complement each other beautifully.

Putting it All Together

Shamanic healing offers a fresh, spiritual perspective on ADHD, providing tools to not only manage symptoms but also to rediscover balance, focus, and peace. It’s about working on a deeper level, addressing not just the mind, but the heart and soul too. If you’ve been feeling like conventional methods aren’t quite enough shamanism might hold for you additional benefits that could help you ‘put it all together’.

Remember, the journey to healing is deeply personal. Whether it’s through shamanism, therapy, or medication, you get to choose the route that feels right for you.

Stay connected, stay balanced.

Depression, Grief and Loss, Shamanic Experiences, Shamanic Healing, Treatment Notes

Embracing Healing: Shamanic Approaches for Resolving Loss and Grief

Grief, a natural response to loss, can manifest in various ways, profoundly impacting individuals on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. While grief is a universal experience, the journey of healing is deeply personal and unique to each individual. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in alternative approaches to grief resolution, including Shamanic healing techniques. Rooted in ancient wisdom and indigenous traditions, Shamanic healing offers a holistic framework for navigating loss, facilitating healing, and restoring balance within the individual. In this comprehensive exploration, I will delve into the benefits and techniques of Shamanic treatments for resolving the symptoms of loss and debilitating grief in clients, illuminating the transformative potential of ancient wisdom in healing the wounded heart.

Understanding Loss and Grief from a Shamanic Perspective:

Shamanism views loss and grief as natural aspects of the human experience, acknowledging the profound impact they have on an individual’s mind, body, and spirit. From a Shamanic perspective, grief is seen not merely as an emotional response but as a spiritual journey of transformation and growth. Shamanic healing recognizes that unresolved grief can lead to soul loss, energetic imbalances, and spiritual disconnection, exacerbating feelings of pain, sorrow, and isolation. Central to Shamanic healing is the understanding that grief is not something to be overcome or suppressed but a sacred process of honoring and integrating the experience of loss into one’s life.

Benefits of Shamanic Healing for Loss and Grief:

Shamanic healing offers a myriad of benefits for individuals struggling with loss and debilitating grief, providing a safe and supportive space for healing, transformation, and spiritual renewal. Some of the key benefits of Shamanic healing for loss and grief include:

Facilitating Soul Retrieval: Loss and grief can result in soul fragmentation, where parts of the individual’s essence become disconnected or lost. Shamanic healing techniques, such as soul retrieval, aim to reclaim and reintegrate these lost soul parts, restoring vitality, wholeness, and resilience within the individual.

Honoring the Sacredness of Grief: Shamanic healing honors the sacredness of grief as a natural and necessary process of healing and transformation. By creating sacred space and holding compassionate presence for the client’s grief, Shamanic practitioners provide a supportive container for the expression and release of emotions, memories, and beliefs associated with the loss.

Connecting with Ancestral Wisdom: Shamanic healing draws upon the wisdom and guidance of ancestral spirits, elders, and lineage ancestors to support the individual in their journey of grief resolution. Through rituals, ceremonies, and ancestral healing practices, clients reconnect with their ancestral roots, finding solace and strength in the collective wisdom and resilience of their lineage.

Restoring Energetic Balance: Shamanic healing works to clear energetic blockages, release stagnant energy, and restore balance within the individual’s energy field. By harmonizing the flow of energy, clients experience a sense of lightness, clarity, and inner peace, easing the symptoms of grief and restoring vitality.

Cultivating Meaning and Purpose: Shamanic healing helps clients find meaning and purpose in their experience of loss, facilitating a deeper understanding of the lessons, blessings, and growth opportunities inherent in the grieving process. Through guided journeys, storytelling, and symbolic rituals, clients reclaim their power to transform pain into purpose and honor the legacy of their loved ones in meaningful ways.

Techniques of Shamanic Treatment for Loss and Grief:

Shamanic treatment for loss and grief encompasses a diverse array of techniques tailored to the unique needs and preferences of each client. While specific practices may vary among traditions and practitioners, some common Shamanic techniques for resolving grief include:

Through rituals, ceremonies, and symbolic gestures, clients reclaim these lost aspects of themselves, restoring vitality, wholeness, and resilience.

Ancestral Healing: Shamanic healing involves connecting with ancestral spirits, elders, and lineage ancestors to receive guidance, support, and healing in the journey of grief resolution. Through rituals, offerings, and ancestor ceremonies, clients honor their lineage and ancestral wisdom, finding solace and strength in the collective support of their ancestors.

Rituals and Ceremonies: Shamanic rituals, such sacred drumming circles, create sacred space for healing, transformation, and spiritual renewal. These rituals help clients release grief, express emotions, and honor the memory of their loved ones in a meaningful and symbolic way.

Nature Immersion and Earth-based Practices: Shamanic healing often involves spending time in nature, communing with the elements, and connecting with the wisdom of the earth. Practices such as nature walks, and earth-based rituals help clients ground themselves, find solace, and reconnect with the natural rhythms of life.

Guided Visualization and Journeying: Shamanic practitioners guide clients into altered states of consciousness through rhythmic drumming, chanting, or visualization, allowing them to access deeper layers of the psyche and receive guidance from spirit allies or power animals. Guided journeys facilitate emotional release, insight, and spiritual connection, helping clients navigate the complexities of grief with greater clarity and resilience.

Case Studies and Success Stories:

Through Shamanic rituals, ceremonies, and soul retrieval, the client experienced a deep sense of healing, acceptance, and peace, finding solace in the understanding that their loved one’s spirit lives on in the realm of the ancestors.

Benefits and Positive Outcomes of Shamanic Healing for Loss and Grief:

Shamanic Healing for Treating Depression

Depression, Shamanic Experiences, Shamanic Healing, Shamanism, Treatment Notes

Navigating the Depths: Shamanic Healing for Resolving Depression

Depression, a pervasive mental health condition affecting millions worldwide, manifests as a profound sense of sadness, hopelessness, and disconnection. While conventional treatments such as therapy and medication offer relief for many, there’s growing interest in alternative approaches, including Shamanic healing techniques. In this comprehensive exploration, I examine the benefits and techniques of Shamanic treatments for resolving depression in clients, uncovering the transformative potential of ancient wisdom in healing the modern soul.

Understanding Depression from a Shamanic Perspective:

Shamanism, rooted in ancient wisdom and indigenous cultures, offers a unique lens through which to understand and address depression. In Shamanic cosmology, depression is viewed not merely as a biochemical imbalance but as a manifestation of soul loss, energetic disharmony, or spiritual disconnection. Central to Shamanic healing is the recognition of the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, and the belief that healing requires addressing these aspects holistically.

Benefits of Shamanic Healing for Depression:

Shamanic healing techniques offer a holistic approach to depression treatment that resonates deeply with individuals seeking a sense of wholeness and meaning in their lives. Unlike conventional treatments, Shamanic healing addresses the root causes of depression at the soul level, facilitating profound shifts in consciousness, perception, and emotional well-being. Some of the key benefits of Shamanic healing for depression include:

Soul Retrieval: One of the core Shamanic techniques for addressing depression is soul retrieval. Soul loss, believed to occur due to trauma or significant life experiences, can leave individuals feeling fragmented and disconnected. Through soul retrieval ceremonies, Shamanic practitioners assist clients in reclaiming lost soul parts, restoring vitality, purpose, and resilience.

Energetic Clearing and Balancing: Shamanic healing involves working with subtle energies to clear blockages, release stagnant emotions, and restore energetic balance within the individual. Rituals, ceremonies, and energy clearing techniques help to cleanse the aura, chakras, and energy field, promoting a sense of lightness, clarity, and inner harmony.

Connection to Nature and Spirit: Shamanic healing will connect to the boundless energies of natural settings, harnessing the healing power of the earth, elements, and spirit allies. Through practices such as journeying, vision quests, and communing with plant medicines, clients reconnect with the wisdom of nature and their own inner guidance, finding solace and inspiration in the beauty and mystery of the natural world.

Symbolic and Metaphorical Healing: Shamanic healing incorporates symbolic rituals, storytelling, and metaphorical language to facilitate deep healing and transformation. Symbols, animal spirits, and archetypal imagery serve as gateways to the unconscious mind, allowing clients to explore and integrate suppressed emotions, memories, and beliefs underlying their depression.

Techniques of Shamanic Treatment for Depression:

Shamanic treatment for depression encompasses a diverse array of techniques tailored to the unique needs and preferences of each client. While specific practices may vary among traditions and practitioners, some common Shamanic techniques for resolving depression include:

Shamanic Journeying: Clients are guided into altered states of consciousness through rhythmic drumming, chanting, or visualization, allowing them to access deeper layers of the psyche and receive guidance from spirit allies or power animals.

Hands-On Healing: Shamanic practitioners may use hands-on techniques such as energy healing, massage, or soul extraction to clear energetic blockages, restore vitality, and promote physical and emotional well-being.

Integration and Aftercare: Following Shamanic treatment, clients are supported in integrating their experiences and insights into their daily lives. This may involve self-care practices, journaling, counseling, or ongoing support from the Shamanic practitioner or community.

Benefits and Positive Outcomes of Shamanic Healing for Depression:

The benefits of Shamanic healing for depression extend far beyond symptom relief, encompassing profound transformations in consciousness, perception, and quality of life. Some of the key benefits and positive outcomes of Shamanic healing for depression include:

Deep Healing and Transformation: Shamanic healing addresses the root causes of depression at the soul level, facilitating profound shifts in consciousness, perception, and emotional well-being. Clients experience a sense of wholeness, vitality, and empowerment as they reclaim lost soul parts and integrate suppressed emotions, memories, and beliefs.

Spiritual Awakening and Connection: Shamanic healing reconnects clients with their inner guidance, spiritual essence, and the wisdom of nature, fostering a sense of purpose, meaning, and belonging. Clients experience a deepening of their spiritual practice and a newfound appreciation for the interconnectedness of all life.

Enhanced Resilience and Coping Skills: Through Shamanic healing, clients develop greater resilience, emotional intelligence, and coping skills for navigating life’s challenges. They learn to trust their intuition, cultivate healthy boundaries, and embrace uncertainty with grace and courage.

Improved Relationships and Communication: Shamanic healing fosters deeper connections and intimacy in relationships as clients release old patterns, heal emotional wounds, and communicate authentically from the heart. Clients experience greater empathy, compassion, and understanding in their interactions with others.

Greater Joy, Creativity, and Vitality: Shamanic healing awakens clients to the joy, beauty, and magic of life, inspiring them to pursue their passions, express their creativity, and live with purpose and presence. Clients experience a renewed zest for life and a deep appreciation for the gift of being alive.

A Final Note:

Shamanic healing offers a profound and transformative approach to resolving depression by addressing the root causes of suffering at the soul level. Through soul retrieval, energy healing, rituals, ceremonies, and connection to nature and spirit, clients experience deep healing, spiritual awakening, and a renewed sense of purpose, meaning, and vitality.

The Impact of Soul Loss: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, and Healing

Depression, Shamanic Experiences, Shamanic Healing, Soul Loss, Treatment Notes

Exploring the Impact of Soul Loss: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, and Healing

Soul loss, a concept rooted in ancient spiritual traditions, refers to the fragmentation or dissociation of the individual’s essence resulting from trauma or significant life experiences. While often overlooked within mainstream Western society, soul loss can profoundly affect an individual’s well-being and vitality. As this topic is not typically addressed in our media, I thought it required a comprehensive exploration of this issue, so let’s delve into the causes, symptoms, treatment, and healing of soul loss, shedding light on its far-reaching implications and transformative potential.

Understanding Soul Loss:

Soul loss occurs when parts of the individual’s essence, often referred to as soul fragments, become disconnected or trapped due to traumatic events, emotional distress, or prolonged stressors. In traditional healing practices, such as Shamanism, soul loss is seen as a root cause of various physical, emotional, and spiritual ailments. These fragmented aspects of the self can lead to a sense of emptiness, disconnection, and dysfunction in various areas of life.

Causes of Soul Loss:

Soul loss can result from a myriad of experiences, ranging from acute traumas like accidents, abuse, or loss of a loved one to chronic stressors such as ongoing conflict, societal oppression, or existential crises. Any event that overwhelms the individual’s capacity to cope and adapt effectively has the potential to trigger soul loss. Moreover, cultural and intergenerational traumas can contribute to collective soul loss within communities or societies.

Outward and Inward Symptoms:

The manifestations of soul loss vary from person to person, but common outward symptoms may include chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, and a sense of emotional numbness or detachment. Inwardly, individuals experiencing soul loss may feel fragmented, incomplete, or disconnected from their sense of purpose, passion, and inner guidance. They may also struggle with feelings of unworthiness or a lack of belonging.

Treatment Process of Soul Loss:

Healing soul loss involves a multifaceted approach aimed at retrieving and reintegrating fragmented aspects of the individual’s essence. Central to this process is the recognition and acknowledgment of the trauma or life experiences that led to soul loss. Therapeutic modalities such as Shamanic soul retrieval, energy healing, and power animal retrieval are commonly employed to facilitate soul retrieval and integration.

Shamanic soul retrieval involves journeying into the spirit world to locate and retrieve lost soul fragments with the assistance of a trained practitioner. Through rituals, ceremonies, and symbolic gestures, the practitioner guides the individual in reclaiming these fragmented aspects and reintegrating them into their being. This process is often accompanied by profound insights, emotional release, and a renewed sense of wholeness and vitality.

Benefits and Positive Outcomes of Healing Soul Loss:

The journey of healing soul loss can yield transformative benefits and positive outcomes that extend beyond mere symptom relief. As fragmented aspects of the self are reintegrated, individuals often experience a deep sense of inner peace, empowerment, and alignment with their true purpose and potential. Emotional wounds begin to heal, allowing for greater resilience, creativity, and authenticity in navigating life’s challenges.

As the process of the soul piece integrations are completed, healed individuals report enhanced vitality, clarity, and connection to themselves, others, and the world around them. Relationships improve as they cultivate healthier boundaries, communication skills, and emotional intimacy. Additionally, individuals often experience spiritual awakening and a renewed sense of meaning and connection to the sacred within and beyond themselves.

Final Note:

Soul loss, though often overlooked, holds profound implications for an individual’s overall well-being and vitality. By addressing the root causes, symptoms, and treatment of soul loss, individuals can embark on a transformative journey of healing and wholeness. Through therapeutic modalities such as Shamanic soul retrieval, individuals can reclaim lost aspects of themselves and experience profound positive outcomes. Ultimately, the journey of healing soul loss is a sacred pilgrimage towards self-discovery, empowerment, and integration, leading to a life filled with greater joy, purpose, and authenticity.

Shamanic Healing Techniques for Treating PTSD

Client Testimonials and Stories, PTSD Treatment, Shamanic Experiences, Shamanic Healing, Treatment Notes

Shamanic Healing for PTSD Treatment

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) stands as a formidable challenge for millions worldwide, stemming from exposure to traumatic events. While conventional treatments have shown some success in treating PTSD, there is an increasing interest in alternative approaches, notably Shamanic healing techniques. Despite the historical disconnect between modern Western societies and Shamanic practices, there’s a growing recognition of the success rates of effectively treating PTSD across the diverse populations who are suffering from this debilitating condition.

Shamanic Healing: An Overview

Shamanism, rooted in ancient wisdom and indigenous cultures, offers a holistic framework for healing that resonates with the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. Central to Shamanic practices are rituals, ceremonies, and the utilization of natural elements to restore balance and harmony within individuals. While seemingly unconventional in modern contexts, the effectiveness of Shamanic healing in addressing the complexities of PTSD, is now being recognized in mainstream North American society.

Shamanic Techniques in PTSD Treatment:

Within the realm of PTSD treatment, Shamanic techniques offer unique avenues for healing trauma. Soul retrieval, a core practice, involves reclaiming fragmented aspects of the soul lost during traumatic experiences. Research published in the Journal of Trauma & Dissociation highlights the success of soul retrieval therapy in reducing PTSD symptoms and fostering overall well-being among trauma survivors.

Mainstream Applications of Shamanic Techniques in Treating PTSD:

Recently, instances of Shamanic healing’s success in treating PTSD have surfaced from many new sources. Notably, studies, such as those conducted by the University of California, San Francisco, have documented significant reductions in PTSD symptoms among veterans following Shamanic drumming ceremonies. Moreover, in urban settings like New York City, initiatives such as the Urban Shamanism Project have adapted traditional techniques to resonate with marginalized communities, yielding transformative outcomes in trauma recovery.

Exciting Adopters of Ancient Shamanic Methods:

Dr. Edward Tick PHD, a leading figure in trauma healing, has made significant strides in integrating Shamanic approaches within the military context. Through programs like Soldier’s Heart, Tick has pioneered the use of Shamanic rituals and ceremonies to address the deep wounds of war. His work emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the soul’s injuries and facilitating holistic healing journeys for veterans grappling with PTSD.

Challenges and Future Directions:

Despite the promising outcomes, challenges persist in integrating Shamanic healing into mainstream healthcare systems. Skepticism, cultural barriers, and the need for standardized training for Shamanic practitioners remain key hurdles. However, ongoing research and interdisciplinary collaboration hold promise in overcoming these obstacles and expanding access to effective PTSD treatment. These are exciting times, as these ancient practices are being brought into mainstream treatment channels and being paired with modern clinical treatment practices.

Shamanic Practitioner’s Notes…

Shamanic healing techniques provide a multifaceted approach to PTSD treatment that transcends cultural boundaries. This exciting avenue for treating PTSD opens up a caring, personalized and holistic method for those who are seeking relief and healing from the devastating impact of PTSD.

The healing process for those suffering from PTSD is an individual one. The first hurdle is for each person to understand that the way they are feeling and behaving is a result of the impact of the trauma that they have experienced – and NOT some weakness or flaw in them as a person. The treatment timing, sequence and focus are customized to unique composition of how PTSD is impacting and manifesting within each person.

Multiple shamanic treatment techniques are used over the course of the individual’s healing journey: extraction, clearing, power animal retrieval, shamanic journeying, compassionate depossession, power work and soul retrieval – to name the main healing focuses. I invite you to explore these topics that are covered in other areas of this website, if they interest you. How and when these techniques are used is directed by the helping spirits of the person seeking treatment, along with my own helping spirits.

The healing process usually flows something like this... In the first session the client shares general information on how they are feeling and how things have been over the past months or years, depending on their situation. A comprehensive shamanic treatment is undertaken to begin the healing and define the next steps and sequencing for the areas on which to focus and the methodology to be used. After each session, the client is usually suggested (by the helping spirits) to complete some ‘homework’ i.e.) connect with a returned soul piece, or power animal ,or natural elements by spending time in nature.

The process continues in this manner. As for frequency of sessions, most times, that determination is usually left to the client – unless clear direction has been provided by the helping spirits. If no clear direction has been communicated, people just know when they have integrated the healing and teachings from a session and are ready to continue on their healing journey. The process timeline is a varied as those who seek treatment. However the speed of the positive impacts and progress of healing is clearly evident to each one. The experienced improvements are heartening and empowering to the client because they begin to feel like they can heal and once again feel calm, joy and in control.

As the healing continues, new strategies (based on ancient shamanic practices) are learned, empowerment is experienced, and the orientation to entirely new dimensions for experiencing oneself and one’s life become woven through the consciousness and soul. It is at this point that the client is able to celebrate their growth and healing as they step past PTSD symptoms and fully embrace the richness of their true self!

And THAT, is a joy and honour to witness… If you, or someone you care about is suffering from PTSD and would like to learn more about how shamanic healing can facilitate the empowerment and recovery process, please get in touch with me.
