It has now been 1 year since my jaw surgery to correct temporomandibular joint disc displacement caused by severe teeth grinding. I am now completely physically healed from it and will eventually have orthodontic braces to move my jaw back into the correct position. The remaining issues of muscle spasms are caused by my brain, as is the teeth grinding, which I am continuing to work on with various therapies and am seeing progress.
It has been an extremely tough and ongoing journey of digging deep and working through a lifetime of trauma but am slowly getting there. I have done two years of Somatic Experiencing, which has taught me so much and recently been doing a lot of very powerful therapy, including 4 sessions of Havening Technique, which has been profoundly transformational and now started EMDR amongst other modalities. I am still far from back to full health but am in a much better place than I was a year ago and have released so much. I have started going out and socialising more and am now on a soft food diet after being on a liquid diet for a year and a half. It is a constant battle but am having some enormous breakthroughs on an extremely bumpy ride and am celebrating small victories. Only when you look back do you realise how far you’ve come. I am in so much less pain. A new life is coming.
Thanks to all my fans who have supported me through this and been there for me and been waiting for me patiently to resurface and for all the moral support and encouragement on here on my posts also 🙏🏻💚🌟💪
