Overview

They said she was unreachable. They were wrong. Every family caregiver of an Alzheimer's patient knows the moment. You are in the room with someone you have loved your entire life - and you look at them and feel, with a certainty that is almost physical, that they are gone. What if that feeling, however understandable, is not entirely accurate? Hidden Memories is a groundbreaking investigation into the emotional life that Alzheimer's disease cannot erase. Drawing on peer-reviewed neuroscience, decades of clinical experience, and the first documented proxy Emotion Code(R) sessions conducted with an Alzheimer's patient in the sundowning phase, authors Gaylen and Judee Beardsley make the case that the person inside the diagnosis is still fully present - feeling, carrying, and broadcasting - even when every conventional measure says otherwise. What this book reveals: Why the emotional life of an Alzheimer's patient remains intact - and in many cases becomes more sensitive - as the disease progresses How trapped emotional energies accumulated across a lifetime and inherited across generations are driving the behavioral storms that exhaust caregivers and compromise patient dignity Why the Emotion Code(R) proxy method can reach the subconscious of a person who can no longer speak, recognize faces, or participate in any form of conventional therapy. The Retrogenesis-Trauma Intersection Hypothesis - an original clinical discovery proposing that as Alzheimer's reverses the developmental timeline, patients re-encounter the specific emotional content of each developmental period they are passing back through What preliminary proxy sessions with a real patient confirmed - and what it means for the future of dementia care This is not a book about managing a disease. It is a book about the dignity of the person inside the disease. About what it means to love someone well all the way to the end - including in ways that words can no longer reach. For the caregiver who has watched someone they love disappear in stages and wondered if anything is still reaching them - something is. For the energy healing practitioner looking to extend their work into one of the most underserved populations in healthcare - the door is open. For the researcher willing to ask the questions that conventional medicine has not yet thought to ask - the framework is here. Judee Beardsley holds a Bachelor of Science in Gerontology and has spent her career as a gerontological social worker and dementia care specialist, including direct clinical work with Alzheimer's patients on memory care units. Gaylen Beardsley holds a Bachelor of Science in Philosophy and Religion and is a certified Emotion Code(R) practitioner and ordained minister with nearly forty years of healing and ministry experience. Hidden Memories - An Investigation into the Emotional Life That Dementia Cannot Erase is available in paperback and Kindle editions.
