She Opened Her Heart to Possibility – and Healed Her Son

Summary

Renee's autistic 8-year-old son was in constant torment with severe sleep disturbance (2 hours after she held him 2-3 hours), extreme allergies, and inability to leave home for 4.5 years without 3-hour ordeal, forcing her to give up business, career, and attachment at the hip 24/7. Coming to February retreat with "tiny flicker of hope," she learned the science and began holding her son during sleep in love and possibility instead of desperation, cycling through anger, fear, doubt to more love until he asked to just lie beside her and slept 4.5 hours. She pictured his happiest Lego moment, realized "if he is that wonderful maybe there's a spark of that in me," her heart expanded so much "my ribs were breaking," and as her nervous system regulated his did too because "these kids co-regulate with you." Now he sleeps 11 hours, eats normally, hosted 18+ homeschool kids touching all his Legos with huge smile (previously only 3 people allowed in house), all her health issues gone, and "it's the only thing we did - we connected to love and it healed everything."
