The Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA) Creator

Last Updated: 01-21-24

Your body isn’t out to hurt you. It is an intelligence system that wants nothing but the best for you no matter how you treat it. Give your body a little bit more credit than it being a broken down machine. I believe that illness is a feedback mechanism that lets us know when something is emotionally bothering us under the surface; that we may or may not be conscious of. Are there physical factors involved in illness? YES! Can studies and evidence-based medicine be the only pieces of the puzzle that matter? I don’t believe this to be true. Gather as much information as you can physically, emotionally and spiritually before making any decisions involving your body. Be your best advocate.

An Illustration of the Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA)/Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA) Creator

Coombs+:

The belief: “It isn’t possible for someone to forgive you. If you don’t severely punish yourself for the rest of your life, you will be eternally punished in hell.”

One day, a little girl admired her mother’s blue shoes and expressed to her mother that she wanted to wear them. The mother told the little girl that these blue shoes meant a lot to her and asked her not to wear them. When the mother left for work one day, the little girl went into her mom’s closet and put on the blue shoes. She was so excited to wear them!

After a few hours, the little girl decided to go outside while wearing the blue shoes; even though it just rained within the past hour. Her brother asked her if she wanted to play a game of soccer. She agreed. Within five minutes, the little girl fell down in a mud puddle and completely ruined the blue shoes. Mortified, she ran back to the house and tried to clean them off unsuccessfully.

The mother returned home an hour later and saw her favorite pair of blue shoes destroyed. She asked the little girl if she wore them and the little girl burst into tears. Over the course of the next 30 minutes, the mom did everything she knew how to console the little girl. Mom explained that she was upset and also articulated that she could find another pair of shoes that she loved (and meant this without resentment). Even though the mom tried to offer an “olive branch” or forgiveness, the daughter couldn’t accept it, no matter what. This became a typical pattern for the little girl growing up. No matter what forgiveness or grace she received when she messed up, she couldn’t accept it. She determined her own future on Earth to be perpetual punishment to avoid eternal damnation.

Coombs-: (With active symptoms)

The belief: “If you mess up (typically in the intellectual and/or financial fields), you will humiliate your entire family line.”

A little boy sat at his desk and worked on his first science fair project. He decided that he wanted to create a giant paper mache volcano that would produce an enormous eruption. Over the next few weeks, the little boy worked on the volcano for hours a day. The day of the science fair, he felt really confident in his project.

At the science fair, the little boy set up his volcano and was ready for the judges. As the judges walked by, he mixed together his ingredients only to find that no eruption happened. Crushed with disappointment, the little boy slowly walked to the score table. He found out that he got last place. Instead of waiting for punishment from his family, the boy decided to punish himself instead; the lesser of the two evils to him.

What the little boy didn’t know, was that his father and his father’s father also felt the same way growing up. They somehow “fundamentally failed” at what their “purpose” was and humiliated the entire family line.

Therapeutic Considerations

The word “creator” is used very intentionally. If an individual can live out the illustration of The Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA)/Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA) Creator over and over again, it is CREATED. Here are questions that I encourage you to journal about and/or discuss with your counselor.

*Do not sit and think about these questions. Get the thoughts out of your body through writing or speech. A true, unbiased, analysis of oneself can not happen within just the contents of one’s own mind.

Coombs+:

  1. What is forgiveness?

  2. What is the “unforgiveable act” that you carry with you everywhere?

  3. If you didn’t attack yourself (autoimmune disease energy), who specifically would attack you? (It’s okay if your answer feels irrational.)

  4. Do you know anyone, in the whole wide world, that has actually forgiven someone fully and no longer has any hurt or resentment?

  5. Does it feel better to punish/attack yourself rather than someone else punishing/attacking you?

  6. If you can’t indulge in your guilty pleasure, what feelings/thoughts show up?

  7. Does it feel good to do “bad” things? If so, why? Do you get a high from it? Is boredom terrifying because the looming threat of danger is around the corner?

Coombs-:

  1. Is it possible to have a purpose that isn’t intellectually or financially based?

  2. Does your family have the power to determine your purpose? If they do, does that mean they are more powerful than God/Higher Power?

  3. Is it possible to humiliate God/Higher Power?

  4. Can you humiliate the part of your family line that is no longer physically alive? Is that even possible? If you believe in an after life, do you believe that your ancestors are spending their time haunting you or trash talking you? Does that version of an after life/heaven sound peaceful?

  5. Can you think of anyone else that felt humiliated that turned out to be okay?

  6. Who gets to determine the “right” amount of punishment after humiliation?
