KST A to Z
Emotional adjustment

I had my first experience with an emotional finding today which is almost unbelievable. I couldn't get the patient to clear, kept getting a priority but didn't know what to do. I pulled out the laminated priority chart, started at the beginning, got all the way through to emotions: bang!
It was about a family member, her husband, that occurred 14 years ago. I asked if she was married. She said, "I was widowed 14 years ago."
I had her think about her relationship to her husband and what she was feeling at the time of his death and checked her. I found an inferior frontal cranial bone. She cleared and we were done. She explained there was a recent death of a friend who was like a father to her that resurfaced the emotions.
