Addressing medicine non compliance using Logosynthesis

Addressing medicine noncompliance using Logosynthesis.

Medicine noncompliance is common.

Medicine noncompliance can negatively impact your health and often stems from factors such as resistance, fear, or forgetfulness. While traditional approaches like reminders are helpful, they don’t always address the underlying causes. Logosynthesis® offers a powerful solution by helping you to clear memories and beliefs (mental imagery) that may be preventing you from taking your medication as prescribed.

Logosynthesis® works by identifying and resolving memories, beliefs and fantasies that can freeze your energy in stressful, reactive patterns. This work is energetic. You can’t “think” your way to a solution. For example, you may have beliefs like “I shouldn’t need medicine” or “I’m weak for needing help,” which can create resistance. Using Logosynthesis, you can clear this mental imagery, reducing stress and making it easier to comply with their treatment plan.

This model is an integrative approach to addressing medicine noncompliance by resolving hidden triggers and empowering you to make healthier choices with greater self-compassion. The following is an example of working with Monique (not her real name) to address a non-compliance issue related to epilepsy medication.

Monique’s story

Reconnecting after the holidays.

I reconnected with Monique online after the holidays, knowing that January can be a challenging month for many people who struggle with anxiety. During our conversation, she shared that she was feeling challenged by “inconsistency.” I listened. She explained that while mornings were manageable, things started to change as the day went on.

“I can be okay all day, but I don’t have a routine. I go for a run every day, but it feels more like a craving than a routine. It helps with stress and tension.”

I asked, “How true is the belief that you should have a routine?”

She thought for a moment and replied, “Not true.”

“What’s happening in your body when you think about this?”

“It’s tension. Normally in my chest.”

Exploring the issue.

“Tell me more about this inconsistency.”

“I don’t take my meds as I should. I’m supposed to take them in the morning and evening, but either I forget, or I only take half of what I need. They should be taken 8 hours apart.”

We talked a bit more, learning they are an anti-seizure medication, prescribed 3 times/day. Although she hasn’t had a full seizure in eight years, she still experiences seizure-like sensations which she attributes to the irregularity in taking the pills.

“How important is it to take your meds? On a scale of 1 to 100?”

She smiled slightly, acknowledging, “99.”

“I’m rubbish at remembering to take them,” she added.

We explored some strategies she has used, and could use, to improve her routine.

“I set reminders, but I don’t always follow through.”

Clearing the energy in beliefs and wishes.

Knowing she’s familiar with Logosynthesis, I suggested the sentence: “I clear all my energy in the belief that I should take my meds routinely.”

As she allowed the energy to process during the pause, I consider the potential of a “voice of authority” influencing her resistance. I will follow Monique’s lead and ask her what happens.

“This brings me back to what I was thinking earlier: I wish I didn’t have to take any meds at all.”

We cleared that wish, and I again ask her what happens.

“I just felt very strong emotions.”

Identifying the memory.

I ask her what happens when she hears “You need to take them.”

At this point, she became visibly distressed.

“I know the consequences—having seizures.”

I invite her to connect with this perception of ‘seizures’ in the space around here. She has difficulty to speak. I offer the sentences: “On behalf of…”

After processing, I asked, “What happens now?”

“I don’t feel anything. It’s a 0. What came up for me was the memory. I recognize the sound of a seizure. When I was working in a care home, the sound was like torture.”

I ask here to repeat aloud after me: “I clear the energy in the ‘sound of the seizure.’”

She smiled as she recalled a memory of coming out of a seizure and hearing her mom smile, saying that she didn’t seem bothered by it.

A new understanding.

“Now, I can appreciate that the meds work, because I haven’t had a full-blown seizure since 2017. But when I feel one coming on, I get stressed.”

We discussed the challenge of taking her medication when the word “seizure” triggers such tension in her body. And we discuss what can shift when this memory is no longer activated each time she takes a pill. We agreed to stay in touch and continue to see how things process.

The next day, I received a text from her:

“Hi there, can you send me the suggestion you mentioned yesterday? I didn’t write it down right away, but I’m going to put it into practice. I feel it’s giving me a good starting point to accept myself as I am, whether I have epilepsy or not. Self-acceptance is my personal affirmation moving forward. Thank you so much.”

Five days later I receive another text from Monique:

“A new layer has appeared, still based on medication. This time it’s based on the other medication (stomach). I think I can resolve myself. I’m taking epilepsy ones 8 hours apart every day, ever since the session.”
