She Helped Her Father Heal – And Transformed Her Own Life

Summary

Her father was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a very rare autoimmune disease affecting one in a million people in India, where the immune system attacks the myelin sheath around nerves, causing paralysis that starts in the feet and moves upward, potentially affecting the diaphragm and breathing. He spent 21 days in intensive care receiving IVIG treatment (intravenous immunoglobulin) and was discharged with only physiotherapy prescribed, with doctors saying it would take 24-36 months to regain full mobility. She set a new target with her father—that he would see her off at the airport when she left—and became his coach, having him journal daily about his current thoughts/feelings and his desired future thoughts/feelings (which made him break down every time). She explained the concepts of overcoming environment, body, and time from "Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself," watching him like a hawk and stopping him whenever he slipped into victim mode, redirecting him to his new story. Within 2-3 weeks he started seeing changes, and he recovered complete mobility of his entire body within 3 months, coming to see her at the airport as promised. This transformation changed her entire family's life and inspired her to become an NCS consultant—she attended the Train the Trainer event in Denver in July and is on the pathway to becoming a licensed NCS consultant in January.
