Physical manifestations can accompany anger and fear. Some indicators are the contraction of the muscles in the neck and back, causing headaches, migraine, digestive problems, acid reflux and irritable bowel, fibromyalgia symptoms (with specific pain), sleep disorders and teeth grinding.

 

Most attending physicians have a 3-5 minute attention allocation time for the patient, and therefore cannot access the base cause or address anything other than attempt to apply symptomatic relief.

 

Although some may term these as psychosomatic, these issues are real, and for some can be debilitating. Fibromyalgia is generally treated with anti-depressants, simply for this reason. Fortunately, progress is more swift, as the actual base can be identified and resolved more comfortably.

 

The process of Emotional ReframingSM assists in resolving what is generally viewed as issues of a medical and drug oriented prescription basis, where the discomfort is merely anger and fear, established and experienced without human language.

 

Associational Sorting is the process of learning. The comparison of emotions, what feels similar is sorted, compared and becomes the focus of attention. Breaking this behavior, with emotional reframing is the process and goal.

 

JOY

 

Class

 

One gentleman, exiting Drug, Alcohol Dual Diagnosis Treatment said: “I will never allow anyone to take my joy from me, again”.  This after some hours of Emotional Reframing of his failed marriage leading to divorce and alcohol abuse.  

As with all outcomes, this is dependent on you. How soon would you like to move forward, leaving the past behind?

Significant progress can be possible, in the first appointment.

Clients words:

After some traumatic experiences in my childhood, facing a divorce and the challenges involved in single parenthood, I was physically and mentally exhausted.  Although my Dad didn't know all the gory details, he sensed that I needed something.  He had read in the paper about free hypnotherapy sessions during the Christmas holiday and suggested I try it out. 

 

Since I had never done anything like it, I didn't quite know what to expect.  I had seen "stage hypnotism" and was a little intimidated that I might make a fool of myself.  Many people have negative thoughts associated with the process and even believe that something so easy couldn't actually help.  Some people think you are fully asleep and therefore wouldn't be in control.  I put all the negatives aside and decided to go for it, I was determined to heal!

 

The Hypnotherapist put my mind at ease immediately by explaining exactly what would happen before we began.  What I learned about dealing with life's stresses is that the more you discuss it with a therapist, counselor, friend, etc. or think about these traumatic events, the bigger and uglier they become for you.  That is why people have a wide array of symptoms (for me it was sadness, using my teeth to clamp down on the inside of my mouth and not sleeping through the night any longer) for others, it can be as drastic as irritable bowel syndrome or Fibromyalgia or even worse. 

 

What hypnotherapy has done is allowed me to no longer dwell on the negative. The process is actually fun and relaxing.  You are aware of everything happening around you, you are not asleep at all, you are in a state similar to that relaxation you feel just before you actually fall asleep.  It is really quite cool!  I have always heard background sounds or felt the tears coming down during a session, that's how I know I have been in control.  It has been me making life-changing choices, it has been me coming to terms with the ugly parts of my life facilitated by a caring individual who just happens to be witnessing the healing for himself!

 

The last time I returned home from a session, my daughter told me I looked younger!  The relief is everlasting.  I feel so much better inside and out.  I sleep much better, no longer clamp down on the side of my mouth, and I no longer have unexplainable aches and pains and, most importantly, am a much happier person (and that's not just my opinion) . 

 

There are times when I feel life getting to me, when that happens, I use one of the techniques the Hypnotherapist has taught me.  For example, if I wake during the middle of the night, I envision myself walking down a flight of 100 steps, getting slightly relaxed with each step.  By the time I get to the bottom of my imagined staircase, I know exactly what is bothering me and exactly who I need to "speak" with about it (sometimes it's me!)  We have this "conversation" and then I drift off in to slumber.  Sometimes I go back to sleep before I get to the bottom step, which is good too.  

 

Paul has taught me many techniques that I can use for the rest of my life.  I feel rejuvenated, hopeful for the future and a major sense of healing.  This has happened without over-the-counter or prescription drugs and without a never-ending Doctor's invoice.  Life is good because I made the choice to live a life of joy, because I have decided to be in control of my healing and because something so easy really can work.   (name withheld by request)
