This next series of posts, which in a way follows on quite naturally from the previous series on What are Allergies, will be focussing more specifically on breathing difficulties, what can trigger them, how to manage them with Bowen Technique,  Kinesiology and other specific techniques.

To extend this discussion of allergy slightly out of its normal boundaries and to reinforce the importance of understanding that different definitions to the same word do not bring argument into who is right, but that we can look at multiple perspectives on the same idea and all contributions have a value and a vbalidity.

Emotional allergy as a concept is one that can be found in aspects of psychotherpay that deal with Shadow projection and the unhealthy dissociation it creates rather than a healthy differentiation as we move past that stage of being. As defined by Jung, the Shadow is all of those unwanted and undesirable aspects of ourselves that we attempt to discard but which never the less follow us as our own Shadow. Its the person we'd rather not be. These pathologies or fracture can then end up either as addictions; things we can let go of, or allergies; things we are repulsed by and can't own.
