Cancer and diabetes patients’ story

"Silence of Peace"

Malgorzata Chodak is a clinical psychologist, therapist, trainer and supervisor for the European Socio-Somatoanalytic School, former President of the Polish Somatotherapy Society and a member of the European and International Somatotherapy Society. She has worked with patients who suffer from pain syndromes for twenty years. Her many years experience in the CMUJ Orthopedist Clinic enabled her to become a specialist in the individual psychotherapy of patients with pain syndromes, a psychotherapist specializing in patients with phantom pains and cancer, using methods of visualization based on the work of C.Simonton and J.Achterberg. She also works with deep consciousness changes and transcendental experiences. She is the author of over 30 publications and a hundred reports on international congresses, conferences and conventions. Recently she received a European Psychotherapy certificate in Vienna.

A few years ago she met John Levine, a composer that creates therapeutic music ideal for use in her work. “I’ve been using all sorts of music and it depends on the individual patient’s preferences and needs. If they are unable to decide, I choose the music for them,” says Malgorzata. “Right now I have lots of patients who need immediate relief. I play the music in the background or sometimes as fragments that we listen to in silence. In the most severe cases, the time is limited as those patients exert a lot of energy in short periods of time. I played my first copy of ‘Silence of Peace’ until it wore out! I also used it for general relaxation in less severe cases. All my patients seemed very settled when I played them John’s Alphamusic. Some of them even took it to play it in their homes in their personal time.’’

One of Malgorzata patients was Tom. He was about 60 years old when his legs were amputated due to his severe diabetes. He was brought into clinic in a wheelchair. It was very sad to see him suffering; his wounds were reluctant to heal at this point in time and he felt that he had had a bad experience with doctors. He went through almost every form of therapy available and he was told that there was no treatment that would help him ease his pain. At this time, doctors refused to treat him and he was left to deal with his phantom pains alone. “It happens sometimes with phantom pains that conventional medicine becomes useless, but it is important not to give up and to search for other, less conventional, methods that may help,’’ Malgorzata told us.

Tom discovered that Malgorzata works with amputees and decided to try her methods. “I remember he came only twice to my clinic and it was enough. I worked with him using relaxation method and I played him John Levine’s ‘Silence of Peace’ CD to relax him’’ recalls Malgorzata. “It was an amazing experience for him. He felt that his absent limbs were being massaged, that he could connect properly with them, and then he felt his pain evaporate. He experienced his first moments pain-free whilst listening to John’s Alphamusic. He was over the moon. The time came for his next appointment and he told me that his pain had stabilized at a reduced level of 50%. After our last session, again using John’s Alphamusic, he called and told me that he felt able to move on, that his life had changed and that he felt like a new person.’’

Tom’s case is a signal, an opportunity for patients who cannot find help in traditional medicine to not give up hope.
