Healing Metaphors A-Z - Seizures

Seizures
Seizures result from a disorder in our brain. Attacks take the form of a change in our level of consciousness, a change in our ability to control our muscles and motor coordination, or a change in our ability to interpret sensory phenomena. Seizures or convulsions mean that we are in a state of siege. We are in conflict, paralyzed by the fear of moving forward and birthing ourselves to a whole new level. We are afraid of the unconscious and are scared of receiving information that is important to our purpose. Seizures are a way of stopping our whole process dead in its tracks. We have been seized upon by some emotion and shaken up. We are caught up in a labor without birth and feel that we have been taken against our will. We are in fear of our own mind. There is also a hidden attempt to get something, because we feel that something vital has been taken from us and we need to replace it.

I have worked with many people who were subject to seizures. Spezzano's metaphor is complete and utter nonsense-- but then again, so are his credentials.
