A baby places no labels on the objects she comes across. A lump of coal holds as much wonder to a child as would a diamond. A child does not assign meaning or value to the object she encounters until taught to do so.

Our parents are usually our first teachers. The value and meaning we place on ourselves, others and things are hugely influenced by our parents. This does not mean that we will accept all of their judgements. This depends on a number of factors and is unique to each individual. We will accept some judgements from Mother and reject others from Father and vice versa. This is why all the children in a family with an alcoholic parent will not become alcoholics.

Later our teachers and peers also influence the value and meaning we place on things including ourselves and others. The meaning a bullied child will place on things will be different to one who is respected and loved.

The meaning we assign not just to things but to our experiences depends on our previous experiences. We compare with the past what we experience in the present and this is how we recreate the past, time and time again. This is all done spontaneously at the subconscious level below the level of our conscious awareness so we have no conscious control over the process and its effect on our lives.

When a person experiences something that she has never experienced before the mind searches for something similar to compare it with in order to ‘make sense’ of it. When the mind cannot find a similar experience, to compare it with, the experience is repressed in order to be dealt with at a later stage, when we develop the necessary emotional resources to do so.

This ‘repression’ buried in the subconscious does not stay quiet. We receive reminders for the subconscious letting us know that we have unfinished business. The reminders start quietly but if ignored intensify to a point where we experience physical pain and disease. Most people view these reminders as an inconvenience and tend to turn to medication to suppress the symptoms. There are, however, those who see the physical symptoms as a call from the subconscious to be heeded rather than an inconvenience to be subdued.

Hypno-Psychotherapy serves to heed the call from the subconscious and address the buried repression. By resolving the emotional root cause of a symptom in this way we heal ourselves and regain on inner balance.

Faulty Self-Concept

People usually do not enter psychotherapy with the goal of changing their perception of self. On the contrary most people who enter psychotherapy are completely unaware that it is their faulty self-concept that is at the root of their suffering. They initially seek to preserve their perception of self exactly as it is but without the suffering that goes with it.

Fear of Change

Probably the hardest thing for any human being to do is to change. Most people will do everything in their power to maintain the status quo and will resist change as if their lives depended on it. Why else would a woman remain in a marriage with an abusive husband? Why would someone who wants to lose weight continue to overeat? Why would a woman who notices a lump in her breast or a man who notices a lump in his testicle ignore it or delay seeing a doctor?

Change ultimately involves taking a step into the unknown and that, for most people, is a scarier alternative to the pain they continue to experience in their lives. The pain that people experience is in direct proportion to the resistance they exert to change. It is only when a person let’s go and steps into the unknown that pain disappears.

Handing Over Our Power to Authority Figures is Not the Answer

Pain, whether it is physical or emotional, is a guide that directs us to make the changes we need to make in our lives. Many people, however, see pain as a nuisance and something to be alleviated, numbed and avoided at all costs. Rather than seeing emotional pain as guiding us to make the changes we are resisting many people turn to medication to alleviate it. Many turn to psychologists and counselors to take their pain away. Very few own their pain and see it as a guiding light that could be used to lead them to make the changes that life judges they are ready for. Most would rather hand their power over to an authority figure they set up in their minds as having special powers to cure them. Even when the medication prescribed does not alleviate their pain they hold on to the belief they hold about the authority figure and continue to take medication, often for years.

Pain used as a guiding light in Hypno-Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy, if conducted in a way that avoids the influence of either the client’s or therapist’s ego can be a very effective way of affecting the necessary changes the client has been resisting. Rather than seeing the therapist as someone with special powers to take away a person’s pain a more constructive approach would be to see the therapist as a partner who willing chooses to enter into an agreement with change as its purpose.

The people who come to psychotherapy to alleviate their emotional pain and suffering normally do not see that they will ultimately have to change their minds about something that is preventing them from changing. This something is the way they perceive themselves and the world they perceive as outside of themselves and responsible for their suffering. Most of them come with an idea that they can in some way control their suffering to the degree that it is tolerable so that they can continue as before. At first the idea, that by defending their perceptions they are clinging to their suffering, does not seem to register but with each session change gradually occurs as both client and therapist begin to move toward each other finding common ground for agreement.

It is pain that is responsible for bringing client and therapist together and it is the resulting changes achieved that ultimately relieve the pain and set both free to continue to their next stages of development.

The power of belief

Our expectations are determined by what we believe. What we believe about life and the world around us influences what we expect to happen to us and others. It is our belief systems that determine how we perceive people. It is our belief systems that determine how we perceive situations and experiences. At a subconscious level we learn how to react to people and situations and we make decisions regarding our behaviour and condition in order to fit our belief systems. The adjustments made at the subconscious level can result in symptoms we call allergies, disease or illness and behaviours we call compulsive, addictive or destructive. This all happens below our consciousness so we are unaware of these developments until we start to experience the results of these decisions taken at the subconscious level. At the subconscious level symptoms and behaviour patterns are chosen with our best interests and highest good in mind but these very decisions may well be responsible for feelings of unhappiness and hopelessness we might feel right now.

Karmic constraints

The decisions made at the subconscious level are made within the constraints of the belief systems we cling to and in order to affect change then it is necessary for us to loosen those constraints and open ourselves to seeing life and the world from a wider variety of perspectives. The degree of our happiness is governed largely by our capacity to let go of any belief that results in causing us pain or unhappiness. This is, however, more easily said than done because the beliefs that we hold are developed over many lifetimes.

Pain and suffering have a purpose

Unhappiness and pain have a purpose in that without them we would never question our perceptions. Pain and unhappiness are merely reminders for us not to get too comfortable with our perceptions because they are not real. Our purpose here is to discover the truth of who we really are through the veil of the belief systems we use to define ourselves.

Many are unwilling to heed the reminders and remain slaves to their beliefs imagining that the pain and unhappiness they experience are outside their control. It is the willingness to change and embrace the adventure of life, the way a child experiences things for the first time, without any preconceived ideas, criticisms or judgments. All the while trusting in that higher consciousness, within each of us, for our guidance and inner security … then we start to ensure our peace, happiness and fulfillment.

Hypno-Psychotherapy at Setanta Clinic in Peel

Hypno-Psychotherapy is a journey within through layer after layer of beliefs that block us from seeing who we truly are and preventing us from achieving our destiny. You don’t have to suffer from a mental disorder or disease to undergo Hypno-Psychotherapy and everyone who has undergone the treatment has reported only the most positive results. If you are interested in learning about the mind and how to navigate the subconscious to in order to release anything that may be blocking your personal development and self realization then Hypno-Psychotherapy may be for you.

If you live in the Isle of Man and would like to learn more then call Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic in Peel on 842938 to arrange a free initial consultation.

Accepting

You have come to me in order to embark on a course in Hypno-Psychotherapy because something is bothering you. This something is what we call your presenting symptoms and you have no conscious control over them. Your symptoms are bothering you to the degree that they are interfering with your life and preventing you from leading a full life.

The role of symptom

The symptom or symptoms you report, is your subconscious way of getting your attention, and it could be any number of things like or nail biting, or over eating, blushing, rage, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, gambling, or M.E. There are as many symptoms as there are people in the world. Important to note is that your symptom is telling you something you need to hear. Like a child crying for your attention, by ignoring your symptom or suppressing it simply results in your symptom being intensified. The symptom you present is the reason you have come to me for help.

There is a subconscious reason for the symptom

There is no point in simply getting rid of the symptoms without understanding the reason or reasons why they are there. Your mind will simply replace the symptoms and go on doing so until you resolve the underlying cause or causes of the symptoms you report.

Anything that you deem is too painful or unacceptable is repressed by your subconscious mind and that is a basic defence mechanism of every human being. Whatever it is you buried in the subconscious you most likely did so as a child. As an adult your subconscious has given you your symptoms as a way of telling you that you are now ready to deal with that buried material that once overwhelmed you as a child.

The symptoms you report are evidence that such repressed material exists in your subconscious mind and are in effect the alarm clock going off in the subconscious for you to wake up to go to work on yourself.

Your conscious mind is a very strict censor and anything entering or leaving it is carefully monitored. It is for this reason you are not in a position to recall, at will, the root cause of the problem you report.

The steps involved in creating the healing therapeutic environment

The first step to resolving the problems you report is to create conditions for the making conscious of what has been repressed. To do this you must first consciously agree to the following conditions which form the basis for your treatment:

To pay for your therapy according to the terms agreed upon.

To give me at least 24 hours notice of cancellation of a session.

To report every thought and feeling which comes to mind during the session.

You report whatever comes to mind without regard for logical order and report them even if you regard them as trivial, impolite or shameful.

You write down the dreams you have and submit them to me at the start of each session.

Any communication between us during the treatment, written or verbal is kept private and confidential.

Time is set aside every night and if possible every morning to listen to the audio prescribed.

The purpose of agreement in therapy

By entering into this sacred agreement with your therapist you are giving your subconscious the clear message that you have heard its call and are now willing and ready to dig up what you buried all those years ago and as an adult resolve what you were unable to do then. You accept that there is an emotional root cause to your problem and once you have addressed it at the subconscious your symptoms will vanish as there will be no longer any need for your subconscious to keep drawing your attention to what you will have dealt with.

Breaking your agreement

Breaking any of the clauses of our agreement is an indication of subconscious resistance that as such would be seen as an issue pertaining to your problem to be discussed in therapy. Everything that comes up in therapy even the urge to quit therapy before resolving your problem is seen as an opportunity and as such can be used to your advantage if brought up in session.

Treatment Preparation

Before starting a course in Hypno-Psychotherapy at Setanta Clinic in Peel, Isle of Man you will be asked to download an audio called Treatment Preparation by either Xavier Nathan or Mary Nathan, depending on who you wish to be treated by. You will be asked to play the audio for at least a week before you start your treatment, during which time you will prepare your mind for the work you will have to do.

If you would like to know more about the work we do please visit our Setanta Clinic Website or call Tel: 842938 to book a no obligation Free Initial Consultation stating whether you would prefer to speak to a male or female therapist.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) Not just the ‘Winter Blues’!

Comments: No Comments

Seasonal Affective Disorder is a type of depression which occurs at the same time every year. For most people this occurs in the autumn and winter seasons as day light hours are reduced dramatically. If the depression reoccurs repeatedly for at least two years and only occurs at a particular time of year, then you could be suffering from SAD.

Many people suffering from SAD experience all or some of the following symptoms : decreased energy, lack of enthusiasm, decreased or increased appetite, insomnia or hypersomnia, lack of concentration, loss of pleasure in activities you once enjoyed, thoughts of suicide or death, social isolation or anxiety. People affected by SAD often crave carbohydrate foods which make them feel even more sluggish so the vicious cycle continues.

SAD, like any major depression, can be very debilitating and often requires professional treatment to alleviate the symptoms. Hypnotherapy can play an enormous part in reducing the anxiety and symptoms related to this condition. At Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic we use both Analytical Hypnotherapy and Suggestion Therapy to enable our clients to free themselves from this annual cycle of depression. Analytical Hypnotherapy allows the client to get to the emotional root cause of the condition, why you have this in the first place and others do not! Suggestion Therapy is very effective because when you experience something under hypnosis your mind reacts as if this very thing is real. Therefore, you can imagine that you are experiencing daylight, sunshine, warmth from the sun and feel the benefits as if it were a warm sunny Summer’s day.

We have successfully treated many clients here at the Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic in Peel who have suffered from SAD. Those people are now living normal, happy, joyful lives all through the year whatever the season. So don’t just brush off this condition as just the ‘winter blues’ that you have to put up with on a yearly basis. Why not enjoy today and every day to the full!

For more information please call us on Tel: 01624 842938 to book a Free Consultation.

A Poem that Welcomes Emotion as our Teacher

Out of the many poems written by the great mystic Rumi I have chosen a poem called The Guest House because I feel it reflects the kind of work that we do here at Setanta Clinic in Peel.

We teach people how to learn from with their emotions rather than pushing them away or suppressing them. We show people how to release themselves from pain and suffering by addressing their repressed emotions and freeing themselves of the limitations that prevent them from leading a more fulfilling life.

Illness as a Result of Suppressing our Emotions

By suppressing their emotions and denying their expression we create conflict within which then manifests as physical illness without. It is learning how to acknowledge and appropriately express our emotions that we create balance within and open ourselves to choices that we would otherwise deny ourselves.

Emotions are not to be feared but listened to as their messages are of special importance in our journey through life. The Guest House is a poem by the great Persian mystic and Sufi, Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rumi, in which he invites us to embrace our own our emotions. He describes them as teachers to be welcomed into the house of mind as they have come to guide us home to the truth.

Hypno-Psychotherapy as Practised at Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic in the Isle of Man

Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic is the private practice of Xavier and Mary Nathan here in Peel, Isle of Man. The therapy provided by Xavier and Mary is a talking therapy, Hypno-Psychotherapy, that involves the using Hypnosis to relax the conscious mind in order to access the subconscious and uncover the repressed emotions and Psychotherapy to bring the underlying emotional root cause to conscious awareness so they can be understood and released. It is in this sense that Xavier and Mary not only employ the latest therapeutic techniques but also continue to adhere to the wisdom handed down through the centuries which are true and as effective today as they were thousands of years ago.

The Guest House – By Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rumi

This being human is a guest house.

Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,

some momentary awareness comes

as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!

Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,

who violently sweep your house

empty of its furniture,

still, treat each guest honourably.

He may be clearing you out

for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,

meet them at the door laughing,

and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,

because each has been sent

as a guide from beyond.

Denied Access by Clara Nathan

Mind Hijack

Conscious thought is regularly hijacked by associations that capture the mind and hold it hostage in the past. While in the process of thinking we automatically find our thoughts pulled to past events or imagined future results. Thoughts that provoke fear and anger always lead us back to the past while worry and anxiety keep us stuck in the future. We spend most of our waking day in the past or the future remembering what has already happened and no longer exists or expecting something to happen that has not yet occurred. As a result, the time we spend fully in the present moment is minimal and this is the main reason why we are unable to correct this debilitating condition and heal ourselves without the assistance of a psychotherapist.

Action is Unconsciously Motivated

Imagine you are an observer watching a woman walking on the pavement. She was bitten by a dog when she was a child but you are not aware of this. You see her cross the street as she is approached by a dog and its owner.

Unless you knew that the woman had been bitten by a dog when she was a child you probably wouldn’t think anything more of her action to cross the road. As an observer you can only observe her action but not the thinking behind the reason why she crossed the road. I say the thinking behind the cause of her action because it is, strictly speaking, not her thinking that caused her to cross the road but her feelings and emotions. Let me explain … the sight of the dog transports the woman back in time to the incident when she was bitten by the dog as a child. She is not consciously aware of this regression because it has become an unconscious association and all she is consciously aware of are the emotions associated with the experience of being bitten. It is these feelings from the past that cause her to cross the road. She crosses the road to avoid a dog that is probably long since dead and more importantly escape the uncomfortable feelings she has buried and wants kept buried. To an observer who knows her past it would appear that she is only avoiding the dog.

Subconscious Strategies to Avoid Pain

We do things to seek pleasure and avoid pain, physical and emotional and this is one of the reasons why people drink excessively and over eat. Someone who drinks alcohol excessively or over eats has learned to use these actions as strategies to avoid uncomfortable feelings but strategies do not solve the problem they help manage the problem that never goes away.

Repression

The buried feelings I refer to in this article are the feelings felt at the the time a person experiences a trauma such as a dog bite and are called repressions. If you think back to your childhood you can remember a number of incidents that traumatised you but more difficult to consciously recollect are the feelings associated with the incident. The reason for this is that they have been filed in the subconscious and are then triggered every time it looks like you are about to experience a similar incident. This all happens below the level of your conscious awareness so you have no conscious control over your spontaneous reaction.

Hypnotised by Trauma

When a repression is triggered our conscious analytical or thinking mind is suspended and we become hypnotised. We are unable to think and our mind is in fact captured by an event that happened in the past and we are stuck there while the old video plays out below the level of our conscious awareness. It is only after the video of the past event has played out that we regain access to our conscious thinking mind but until then we are at the mercy of our repressions. We often wonder later why we were unable to think straight or take more effective action in a particular situation and many never realise that they are not in control during those times.

Hypno-Psychotherapy to Address the Emotional Root Cause

In Hypno-Psychotherapy, which is the therapy we provide at Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic in Peel, Isle of Man, the client is given the opportunity to uncover the repressions that are responsible for their condition and ultimately release these repressions in a safe environment. Repression release results in spontaneous healing as the mind reclaims its thinking space and power to make conscious decisions in ways no longer determined by events in the past.

Healing through Repression Release by Clara Nathan

Feelings and Emotions

Society looks favourably on people who freely experience feelings of joy and happiness but frowns on unbridled expressions of sadness and pain. From a very early age we are programmed to stuff down these feelings with no regard for the consequence.

Feelings and emotions are there to be expressed and rather than inhibiting their expression if children are encouraged to express them appropriately then there would be no need for them to seek refuge in alcohol, drugs or over eating.

Our emotions belong to us and if we choose to hide or suppress them they will find ways of expression and in many cases these will be self destructive. Painful emotions that we have buried in the subconscious are called repressions and they will find expression, one way or another.

Repressions Manifesting as Symptoms or Destructive Behaviours

If we are involved in any behaviour that is harmful to us then the underlying cause for the behaviour will ultimately be an emotional one. This is an example of how a repression finds expression.

A person who continues to over eat knowing the disastrous consequences of such behaviour has simply found eating food as an alternative to expressing feelings they have suppressed.

People are not normally consciously aware that they are suppressing their feelings. It is a habit they have learned and as such it is something they do subconsciously. In order to reverse the process the subconscious needs to be accessed in order to uncover the emotional root cause of the destructive behaviour … like over eating and this is where hypnosis proves to be an invaluable tool.

Healing through Repression Release

Here at Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic in Peel, Isle of Man my wife Mary and I are in private practice using both Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy to show people how to access their subconscious and make those changes they want in their lives. The presenting symptoms of the people who seek our help are the physical manifestations of problems with an emotional root cause. We help people uncover and resolve underlying cause of their conditions at source, the unconscious. Once the the negative emotion associated with their symptoms is released through abreaction healing is inevitable.

To book a free initial consultation you can call us on 01624 842938.

Depressed

If you are someone wondering why everyone else seems to be having such a great life and nothing ever seems to work out well for you then you are probably feeling down as you read this.

You probably sigh a lot, feel frustrated at work and your relationships with friends and loved ones are strained. You probably also feel tired even after a night’s sleep and find it hard to get up in the morning.

Your body posture is telling the world that you are feeling down and your facial expression betrays how you are feeling inside.

Your inner dialogue is always critical, judgemental and keeps going round in circles. You don’t notice people who pass you in the street or in the corridors at work. You don’t notice the beauty of nature all around you because you are stuck inside your head a slave to a mindset that keeps you where you are.

You probably try to make yourself feel better by eating, drinking, working or spending money. You may feel good for a while but you find that no activity results in any permanent change. Activity will only stop the ruminating for a short period and then you are back again inside your head with the thoughts that bring you down and cause you to feel depressed.

Getting Out Of Your Head

Milton Erickson, a famous Psychiatrist and Hypnotherapist once treated a patient who was suffering with depression by telling him to count the chimney pots on his way home after his hypnotherapy session. The patient did as Milton Erickson instructed and did feel a lot better when he arrived home. This very simple intervention on the part of Erickson was a deliberate technique employed to change the patient’s mind and in so doing change how he felt. Instead of looking down as he normally did he looked up to count the chimney pots. Instead of sitting alone at home ruminating inside his head he was out meeting people and getting good quality exercise.

By forcing his patient to get out of his head and be present he had broken a spell and this is exactly what happens every time we deliberately get out of our heads and engage with the present. It is by being fully in the present unfettered by our depressing ruminations that we regain the power to choose what to think and in doing so we choose how to feel.

Hypnotherapy to reclaim the Power to Choose

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool reclaiming the power to choose what to think and how to feel. By learning how to deliberately suspend the critical chatter that keeps us stuck inside our heads we regain our personal power and self confidence. By regularly practising self hypnosis it becomes easier and easier to take charge of your thoughts and once again become the director of the movie called This is Your Life!

If you would like to know more about the therapy Mary and I provide here at Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic in Peel, Isle of Man please call us on 842938 to arrange to meet for an informal chat. We also provide a wide range of high quality audio products from our Downloads Page that we have produced for our own clients and which you could use effectively in the comfort of your own home to initiate those changes you desire in your life.

A common belief held by many is that we are soul or spirit inside a body and when the body dies our soul leaves the body and returns to God.

Some people even speak of experience they have had in which they left their body for a period of time while they were still alive. These experiences are called Out of Body Experiences or Astral Projection.

Some people describe experiences they have had outside their body when they were deemed clinically dead for a brief period. These experiences are called Near Death Experiences.

One thing that can be said about all of these experiences is that like all our experiences we cannot help but interpret them and give them meaning based on our collective past experiences. The meaning, however, is made up in the mind like all the beliefs we hold and as such have little bearing on truth.

The belief that we are actually outside our body and only believe we inhabit our body is as valid a belief as any a person can hold. But this belief though gaining more support is still only held by a few.

We are free to believe whatever we want but unless we believe this to be true we remain in a kind of belief prison of our own making. Few fully realise the power they hold to change whatever they want in their lives by choosing what to believe.

Someone reading this might dismiss such a notion citing some logical argument to justify remaining a captive of their old beliefs but that too, is a choice.

“You can bring horse to water but you can’t make him drink”, is a saying my Grandfather taught me and which very aptly fits the human condition. Regardless of how much pain and suffering we experience few will allow themselves to be open to change their mind about how they view themselves and the world. Few fail to realise that their pain and suffering is as a result of the beliefs they cling to and to suggest otherwise is seen as insane. “Who is the insane one”, I ask?

Hypnotherapy is a very effective way of reclaiming the power to choose what to believe. It is a key to free you from a mindset that sabotages your personal development. It is safe and because it is without any of the negative side effects of medication more and more General Practitioners are recommending Hypnotherapy as an effective alternative.

For those living outside the Isle of Man you can download our audio products from our Downloads Page and avail of the service we provide through them.
