SICK FAMILY

I was invited by a lady friend to see her friend who was deeply depressed, for possible hypnotherapy. When we reached the house I met a pretty young lady who was obviously in deep trouble. She just came from her Psychiatrist. I was told how she was exposed to several tragedies that somehow made her incapable of facing the many trials of daily existence.

In the course of our conversation the sick lady told me about her two sons who were both problematic, in fact they were given up completely by the school's guidance counselor for professional help. She said she was not in good terms with her mother and their constant quarrelling are picked by the children.

It was at this point when her mother arrived accompanied by her personal nurse.I immediately sensed something wrong. The old woman was the typical matriarch who was so assertive and must be very negative on her attitude towards her sick daughter who needed all the compassion and support necessary for her to recover from depression.

Seeming skeptic about my presence, she casually asked me where I practice. When I told her I was connected with the New Alabang Village Medical Specialists and that I lived in Ayala Alabang Village, her face brighten and she smiled with acceptance.

That family is in great trouble. I hope I'll be instrumental in curing them all so the New Hope and new life will find their ways into that home.
