Is trauma informing your current physical and emotional state? Are there challenges you’re finding emotionally or physically too hard to overcome no matter what you try? I am always fascinated by any techniques that support people on their healing journeys and coming across Dr Melanie Salmon’s work makes me feel lucky to be able to then share that with you on the show in the hope that it might support healing and a deep sense of wellbeing for listeners in our community. After being a GP for 40 years, Melanie wanted to be able to offer patients who weren’t healing with the tools available to her as a doctor so she studied psychotherapy and became a Gestalt therapist. Feeling that talk therapy also had its limitations, she went on a quest to see what might be able to do better, still and so, she developed something herself, QEC, which now sees coaches all around the world carrying out this life-changing therapy with people online. She is passionate about healing trauma and building internal resilience using the power of the subconscious mind. Bringing together the power of human connection with neuroscience, Quantum Energy Coaching (QEC) works to free you from past trauma, internal stress, and the effects of self-limiting beliefs.

Questions I asked Melanie:

You have a passion for helping people heal from trauma and psycho-emotional illness where dysfunctional nervous systems prevent full healing: Was this a personal quest initially or something that was born from a shortfall of resources in treating patients as a medical doctor?
What did nearly 40 years of practising as a doctor teach you?
Why did you have to leave?
What is it about trauma that holds us back from healing – what’s happening in the brain/physically that keeps us in patterns and loops?
Do different trauma experiences manifest differently, or is it more about the length of time someone is in a traumatic experience(s), tools they had to regulate before the experience of bio-individual make-up?
How important is it for us to connect to the subconscious mind to address and move through and beyond trauma and its effects?
When exploring how best to support people in this area, you didn’t quite find something that was exactly how you wanted to support people so you created QEC – can you talk us through this?
How do you feel about other methods having success such as transcendental meditation, psychedelic microdosing guided sessions, and neurofeedback?
We’d love to hear some stories of success (and a wide range of 3-4 different people’s experiences, from abuse to chronic illness, war, addiction… so people can see the scope)
What is the scope of difficulties/nervous system dysregulation that people can find benefit in doing this work?
And for people out there who are thinking – how do I access this? You have a network of trained people on your team worldwide to help right?
