Here is my story:
Over 9 months of excruciating AF pain, I had tried everything to heal, many of the things listed on this forum, but nothing had worked. I was committed to healing with only natural methods, but I had become very desperate. After every bowel movement, I had to lie down to recover before I could go on with my day. I regularly cried on the toilet.
I finally came across German New Medicine, a paradigm that describes how your experiences in life get programmed into your psyche and also into your physical body. By resolving the conflict at the level of the psyche, the symptom in the physical body heals.
What is so helpful with this paradigm is that there is a map for exactly what kind of issue will show up as an AF. The text from learninggnm.com explains that an anal fissure is a result of an identity conflict:
"An identity conflict refers to the inability to establish one’s position or place (“territory”), literally or figuratively. An unwanted move, change of school, or change of a workplace can activate the conflict. Feeling unsettled, not knowing where to belong, not finding one’s place in a relationship, within the family, the group at work, or in the culture and society at large as well as discrimination against one’s belief or sexual orientation are examples of what can evoke an identity conflict. The conflict is to a certain extent a decision conflict (not knowing what choice to make, not knowing where to go)."
As soon as I read that description, it was like a light bulb turned on in my brain. I knew this was the root of my AF. My AF had started right as I was considering where to live with my husband after we got married -- where we would BELONG. After a few days of thinking about these ideas, I had a big emotional release where I realized that it doesn't matter where I live, because I belong to Mother Earth, and I will always be home no matter where I am.
The next day I woke up and my AF was instantly 80% better. Over the next few months, I continued to work on these themes in my psyche and the AF continued to heal. I knew that I was not only healing my physical symptom, but also healing my psyche, heart, and soul as well.
These themes of home and belonging have been heightened for me throughout my life based on my experiences. I've always been very fixated on belonging and being accepted by people. I was completely distraught when my parents sold my childhood home, as I was very connected to place. Based on these and more, I was primed for moving with my husband to be a BIG DEAL for my psyche.
You can heal too!
You should ask yourself: When did your anal fissure start? What was going on in your life at that time? What was related to home, belonging, deciding where to live, being accepted by others, etc. Where could you not find your place? What were you trying to decide? Something happened to put you into this identity conflict, and as long as your AF exists you are still in this same mental state. Resolving this conflict in your mind WILL HEAL YOUR AF.
