Turning Personal Pain into Healing Others with Dr Sheryl Rist

Dr Sheryl Rist has been a practicing acupuncturist for over 20 years. Her journey with acupuncture started when she was suffering with an “incurable” disease and was introduced to an acupuncturist and her life changed dramatically. Join Katherine this week on My Dead Dragon to hear Sheryl’s incredible story of turning pain into healing. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When she was a teenager Sheryl became sick with an illness that the doctors couldn’t identify. She was told she would have to have surgery and have a bag fitted and not be allowed to eat, just having pills. When she was in her 20’s she was recommended an acupuncturist and was so surprised that she finally had energy and started to feel better. 
• Sheryl believed that the treatments offered weren't for her, she also refused the prognosis that she would die. It was hard to be a normal teenager and she fell into depression, but she always had the self-belief that she would get better and that there was a solution. 
• She put trust in herself to keep going and try to find something that would make her feel better, like herself again. She refused to stay in bed and without the determination she would have never tired acupuncture.
• Her story allowed her to see that if she could overcome these obstacles, then she could help other people do the same. 
• Keep going. Know that there is something good coming. Some days it’s okay to curl up in bed and give yourself lots of love, but the next day get up and keep going.
• We store all of our trauma in our bodies. They retain all of the memories when we go through hard times and it’s about clearing them out and releasing it out of our bodies.
