In May 2018, I was in a head-on collision with another driver who turned left at the last minute in front of me. Although I, thank God, was able to walk away from the accident, my car was totaled and I just could not seem to get back to normal following this event. When I did go back to work, it was really hard for me to think clearly and deeply about my tasks, problem solve, make decisions, and focus. My interests in social outings decreased as I was exhausted all of the time. I became irritable and my symptoms of depression and anxiety grew worse. Communication with others was difficult because my brain was fuzzy and I had a hard time getting my thoughts across to others clearly. Even the littlest things stressed me out. I constantly felt discouraged because I didn’t think that I would be able to work, think, and live like I did before, and wondered if I’d just have to just get by for the rest of my life.
I struggled with physical symptoms following the accident as well. I work with children and getting up and down off the floor with them was laborious, as I was stiff and limited in my range of motion. My hips began hurting shortly after the accident and walking was painful. Numbness in my arms was a regular occurrence, as was pain in my upper right shoulder,
In July, I started seeing a great physical therapist but, despite all of the effort I put into doing the exercises that she prescribed, my progress was slow and my stiffness and pain remained. At the end of 2018 and beginning of 2019, I read about Matrix Repatterning and, by January, had set an appointment to see Dr. Berger. Although I had been dealing with the symptoms of a concussion, I hadn’t brought myself to accept that that was what I was suffering with until he diagnosed me with a head injury at my evaluation appointment.
Thankfully, Matrix Repatterning was the treatment that I needed to treat not only my concussion but also my body pain and limited range of motion. Within the first couple sessions, I noticed that I could think more clearly, for longer periods of time, and could express myself better, with greater confidence! Now, I no longer have the old symptoms of irritability, depression, or brain fog either.
Dr. Berger also corrected skull misalignments around my eyes to help my visual system process information better and referred me to a wonderful developmental optometrist who helped me overcome the symptoms of Visual Traumatic Disorder.
Every time that I saw Dr. Berger, my physical symptoms decreased, although recovering physically was a slower process. I now have very little, if any, hip pain and no shoulder pain or arm numbness. My ability to move smoothly and with ease is much improved, even better than before the accident.
Dr. Berger’s nutritional work also identified that I have gluten and dairy intolerances and had bacterial infections, which were affecting my overall health. Between the new diet that he put me on and the supplements that he prescribed, I am now feeling much better overall.
Through Dr. Berger’s work, God brought me to a level of health and wellbeing that is even better than it was before the accident, and I now feel hope that I will continue to feel well and be healthy in the coming years. I was even able to move to Romania to be a therapist for children living in an orphanage for 5 months because of how well I feel. Dr. Berger’s treatments have given me my life back, and I now have a spring in my step that hadn’t been there in a long time!
