What Can be Treated with Hypnotherapy

My wife Mary and I run our own private Hypnotherapy Practice in Peel, Isle of Man where we employ a combination of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy to treat conditions with an emotional root cause. To see a list of some the conditions we treat please follow the link What Can Be Treated

Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic in Peel, Isle of Man

Our Private Hypnotherapy Practice is called Setanta after the great Irish legendary warrior, Cú Chulainn. The name conjures up in me the idea that we are not our bodies and as such are not limited by the physical restraints placed upon us by identifying with our bodies. Setanta symbolised courage and integrity and the energy of never giving up in the face of any challenge he faced. By naming our clinic Setanta my wife and I seek to identify with this great Irish legend in his principles and work ethic.

Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic Media Presence

As a way to inform our community of the work we do we set up a website SetantaClinic.com and we also created a Facebook Fan Page called Setanta.Hypnotherapy.Clinic both of which we take very seriously. The website also has a blog which we regularly update with posts which explain the work we do from various perspectives and the Facebook Page which reflects our ideas and what we stand for.

Enquiry asking about Hypnotherapy and Science

We often receive enquiries through our website and Facebook Fan page and only just today we received an enquiry from someone asking about Hypnotherapy in relation to dissonance and mirror neurons.

From the enquiry and the phraseology of the comment it seemed that the person had equated what we did with a notion of hypnotherapy was based on suggestion therapy, i.e. Hypnotherapy was a method of conditioning the mind with repeated suggestions to change a behaviour.

I recognised immediately the futility of engaging in any discussion which did not fit this person’s idea of truth. I sent him some links to article my wife and I had written on the subject of Hypnotherapy and urged him to read them first. In my mind I thought it would be sensible that he acquainted himself with our working model of Hypnotherapy rather that us entering into conversation about Hypnotheraspy based on what he believed it to be. Without reading the articles I received an instant reply which read … “Oh ok ….delegation??”

I didn’t wish him to feel that I was ignoring him or that I was unable to answer his questions so the first step was for me to identify his perspective. He revealed his perspective when he said:

“I was studying neurology (from a buddhist point if view) n was interested in its effects on the dissonance or mirror neurons !”

Science tries to Make Sense of Non-Sense

I then followed with a reply explaining the futility of trying to explain truth based on belief. I tried to explain how Science was no where nearer to explaining the world than Religion was to explaining God:

“I see now where you are coming from. It is my view that scientists seek to make sense of what they observe and in every generation old theories are replaced by new ones. The reason why science is no closer to the absolute truth about anything is because scientists are human beings and all human beings rely on perception to make sense of what they observe. Perception is subjective and as such nothing absolute can ever be based upon it and this basic fact seems to continue to allude the science community. (The same holds for people who try to expalin God using their beliefs as a yardstick.)

Scientists have observed that certain neurons are fired in certain circumstances but if you are familiar with Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle you will also be aware that whatever we seek to observe, we change and in the act of observing we actually invalidate the observation!

Hypnosis simply affords people the opportunity to suspend their critical factor to the degree that they are enabled to entertain ideas that are not in keeping with their own core belief system.

A person who is suffering an illness also holds a core belief in the illness. If the therapist was to simply say that their illness is as a result of what the client believes then that would conflict with their core belief and alienate the therapist who would then be unable to help. That is where Psychotherapy comes in.

Hypnosis heals nothing, all it does is open the gate. Once the gate is open the client then uses his/her own inner resources to affect the changes they desire. It is not the therapist who cures anyone of anything either. It is the clients themselves who cure themselves. Whether or not certain neurons are firing at the time when the changes are affected may be of interest to scientists who love to then find patterns to back up whatever theory is fashionable at the time, is of little relevance and help in a process that cannot be explained intellectually but can be felt emotionally.

I myself ,along with my Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy qualifications, also have a degree in Physics and Mathematics. You and I are both scientists with completely differing belief systems but that is fine by me. I have no wish to convince you or anyoneof the beliefs I hold ‘today’, but since you asked I explained what they were.

There are people in the world who will die for their beliefs, I on the other hand see beliefs as the way we play with ideas and not worth dying for. In my world no belief is truth and that is why it is easier for me to let go of anything that holds me back in my life. Ideas are like birds that fly through the sky. No bird can make a mark on the sky and it is our choice to follow the flight of a particular bird across the sky or turn our attention to another one.

This is as far as I will go with this conversation as I will be busy with clients for the rest of the day and I also am aware that is not my place to question what you believe to be true. In hypnosis however all ideas can be entertained and that is the magic of hypnosis. You have a great day and good luck with your own personal journey. Thank you for the conversation.

The conversation ended and the person thanked me for the communication intimating that he might follow up at a later time.

Belief is the Filter through which we all make our own sense of the World and our Experiences

I see the world through my own filter and believe that the very best I can do when it comes to explaining it is to see it as positively as I can maintaining the awareness that the sense I make of it is actually made up in my own mind and completely subjective.

The beliefs I hold about the world today may not be the ones I hold tomorrow or in the next hour and I am fine with that. Beliefs are ideas in which we have invested our energy. Energy does not need to be stuck anywhere and when we realise this we are free to experience the world any way we desire.

Life is a game and it is belief that makes it serious. When we learn to change our beliefs at will we regain the power to be children again living in the now playing the game of life!

Comments: No Comments

Transference is very important dynamic in Hypno-Psychotherapy in that it provides the client with the opportunity to address in the present a problem from the past.

The problem was buried in the subconscious because the client did not have the emotional resources to deal with it when it occurred in the past.

The therapist provides a safe setting for the client to address the problem and guides the client to its resolution.

If the problem was originally with a parent then the client will perceive the therapist in that role and react accordingly. The client will gradually become aware of the dynamic and realize how the original problem had been influencing his/her relationships with perceived authority figures throughout his/her life.

At the end of therapy the transference ends and client and therapist are released from the roles they played in order to facilitate the change sought by the client.

The client is no longer subconsciously adversely offended by or influenced by past events as the associated negative emotion will have been released in the therapy.

In a nutshell, Hypno-Psychotherapy provides the individual with the opportunity to address the emotional root cause of a physical symptom or condition at source. The symptoms are seen as a metaphor for the underlying root cause and as such serve only to make the client pay attention.

During the course of therapy the therapist facilitates the healing process by providing the client with the opportunity to play out and resolve what he/she was unable to in the past. During the process the client makes the connections and repressions buried in the subconscious are uncovered and the power they wielded over the client consciously understood. Emotion is released spontaneously when a repression is uncovered in this way and the desired change is achieved.

The Purpose of Pain and Suffering

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.

Hypnotherapy for Young Children and Teenagers

Why Hypnotherapy is so successful for children

Children are naturally open to hypnotherapy as they have few if any misconceptions about hypnosis. Most of them, especially the younger ones, have never heard of stage hypnotists so an explanation about the vast differences between what I do in therapy and what stage hypnotists do on stage is not necessary for the young clients. Mum or Dad may need to be reassured but I take care to answer all questions thoroughly during our Free Consultation. Treatment is explained to each client using appropriate language to ensure they understand every step of this journey to recovery.

One of the reasons hypnotherapy is so successful for children is that children use their imaginations on a daily basis for much longer than adults. They can easily move from being a fairy princess to a dinosaur or a character in their favourite television programme in seconds. So when I ask them to imagine or visualise themselves in their bed or at the hospital, for example, they can do so immediately.

Solution Focused Child Centred Therapy

In therapy it is the child’s needs which are paramount and as such I work very closely with each child making them fully understand this. Once the children realise that they have a say in the final outcome therapy naturally flows. The therapy is solution focused, that means that the child, parent, and I all work together to get the best outcome for the child.

Though treatment is child centred parents play a very important role in the progress of therapy. Positive reinforcement is so important between sessions and long after sessions have finished. This may mean asking the parents to change the way they talk about the problem while the child is receiving treatment. A change in tense can be so significant; setting the problem in the past and allowing the possibility of change to sink into the child’s subconscious mind much more quickly.

In the western world a child is anyone under the age of eighteen and teenagers respond as well as younger children. Needless to say more appropriate language and questioning is necessary to engage a teenager.

Examples of the conditions Mary treats at Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic

If your child suffers from any of the following:

Nocturnal Enuresis (bed wetting)
Encopresis (uncontrolled bowel movements)
Anxiety
Sleeping difficulties
Behaviour Problems
Nail Biting
Thumb/Finger Sucking
Tics or Habits (urge to blink, urge to clear the throat)
Examination Anxiety
Poor Concentration
Excessive Sweating
Skin Problems (Acne, Eczema, Psoriasis)
Heavy Menstrual Bleeding
Fears and Phobias (fear of flying, spiders, insects, needles, heights etc.)

These are just some of the very many conditions I treat.

Weight Loss with Hypno Gastric Band Therapy

Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic Hypno Gastric Band Therapy

Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic is now offering a Weight Loss Program using Hypno Gastric Band Therapy. The therapy consists of five sessions and each client is presented with a Personalised CD to reinforce the work done in session at home.

How does it work?

Firstly, a detailed history is taken of each client during the first session. We find out the habits and associations the client has to food and the client decides on the desired weight loss. In the subsequent sessions the client receives a course of relaxing hypnotherapy sessions which enable a new belief system to be created. Under hypnosis the client is lead through a virtual gastric band surgery procedure. In other words, the client while reclining in the comfort of the clinic is lead through the surgical procedure as if it is really happening. The client goes through the experience of undergoing surgery under anesthetic and being fitted with a gastric band. The band is fitted in order to reduce the size of the stomach so that the client simply does not have the same capacity for the volume of food he/she once ate.

The reason why our clients can really imagine they are under going surgery is down to the pains I take to ensure they master the art of self hypnosis prior to surgical procedure itself. The way I do this is after the client has agreed to undertake the procedure I require them to download Treatment Preparation by Mary Nathan from our website downloads page and which they play prior to starting. This audio is specially designed to engage the subconscious and make the client a master of self hypnosis. The treatment preparation is so powerful that the subconscious mind goes through the virtual surgery without the pain or danger of actual surgery and accepts that the band has indeed been fitted. As a result of this the client will feel fuller after eating smaller portions of food, feel satisfied and s/he is then free to begin enjoying the long term health benefits of losing weight and gaining and maintaining their ideal healthiest weight.

What is Gastric Band Surgery?

Gastric band surgery itself is a complex procedure in which a band is fitted around the stomach to make it smaller – so reducing the amount of food the stomach can cope with. The virtual gastric band is designed for people who desperately want to lose weight but don’t want to go down the surgical route… and so it mimics the feeling you get after having the surgical procedure (but without the pain and discomfort) and has all the beneficial results, but at a fraction of the cost!

The Cost

The 5 sessions of therapy along with with the Personalised CD + Healthy Eating and Sensible Exercise CD is £550

Is the treatment guaranteed?

As with any other medical or weight-loss treatment there is no complete guarantee. However, Hypno-Band has an extremely high success rate with long-term results. The main key to successful treatment is YOU. If you are totally committed to losing weight then Hypno-Band should work well for you.

Is it safe?

Hypno-Band is completely safe. It does not involve any invasive surgery or pain, and is a relaxing, pleasurable treatment with no side effects, other than the weight loss you want to achieve.

Is Hypno-Band Therapy right for me?

If you are overweight and committed to losing weight then you are a suitable candidate for Hypno-Band. However, if your weight has an emotional root cause then Analytical Hypnotherapy would be the first avenue to explore prior to the Hypno Gastric Band sessions.

Attracting Your Perfect Partner

Finding your Soul Mate is not as random as many believe

We all have, at one time or another, felt lonely and wished that we had someone we could share our lives with. Many who made this wish found their perfect partner, others are still alone to this day and yet others found and keep finding people that just bring them grief and unhappiness.

Many believe that finding your soul mate is a random event that is just down to luck. Others believe that such unions are made in heaven and there are many who don’t believe in the idea of a perfect partner. Whatever you believe is exactly what your subconscious will endeavour to create for you.

It is our core belief system that determines what we deem to be true and what we dismiss as rubbish. What most people fail to realise is that a belief is an opinion that you have labelled as true. Many fail to realise that it is our belief in opinions that give them the energy to create our life experiences.

The Law of Attraction

There are however a growing number of people who are realising that they need not be a slave to belief and have learned to use the dynamic of imbuing opinion with enough energy to replace their core beliefs with beliefs that deliberately create what they want. James Allen, author of the book As A Man Thinketh was one such person and the ideas he put forward are now reflected in The Secret by Rhonda Byrne and championed by many famous people under the title The Law of Attraction.

In a nutshell, you get what you believe to be true of yourself and the world you live in. The world and your experiences are physical manifestations of what you believe to be true without any shadow of a doubt. In fact you would dismiss any idea that does not agree with your world view and that is the power of belief. When you learn to harness this power to serve you only then do you become master of your own destiny. Until then the world is something that happens to you and you feel as if you are in a boat with no oars being buffeted sometimes by a raging sea or going nowhere when the wind subsides. That is why our life experience is sometimes described as a see saw between sorrow and joy.

When you fully realise that thoughts and opinions are simply building blocks for the life you wish to experience you are then free to believe those that are in harmony with your goals and discard those that seek to sabotage your efforts. The key is in realising that the world you see and the life you experience are material external manifestations of the thoughts you hold true, deep within yourself in your subconscious. Change your beliefs and you change your world.

Attracting Your Perfect Partner Hypnosis Audio Download by Mary Nathan

It is for this reason I have created an audio which you can purchase and download from Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic Website Downloads page called Attracting Your Perfect Partner by Mary Nathan. Using the power of hypnosis to access the subconscious the audio serves to teach you how to replace the beliefs that are preventing you from attracting your perfect partner with beliefs that will make you a magnet for your soul mate.

Joining dating sites, going out to clubs and pubs are wasted activities if the mindset is not right. The mind commands and the world obeys. It is not the other way around. We are not taught this in school and most of us are not taught this at home not because there is a conspiracy but mainly because people are ignorant of the laws that govern thought and how it can be used to serve us.

Conscious and Subconscious Mind

There are two parts to your mind…the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The conscious mind is the mind you use when you are awake and engaged in your daily life, you use it to learn anything new, to analyse, evaluate and judge. When you sleep at night you give your conscious mind a well earned rest from all the thousands of thoughts that come in and out throughout the day.

The subconscious mind is that part of you that stores everything that ever happened to you, it also allows your hair to grow and your heart to beat without you even having to think about these things consciously.

If you have learned bad habits then they, too, have been stored in the subconscious mind and are being activated automatically. Anything stored in your subconscious mind in this way is out of your conscious control. You automatically react in certain ways in certain circumstances and are unable to behave in any other way because your subconscious mind is stronger than your conscious mind. This is where hypnosis comes in, by learning how to deliberately achieve the relaxed state of hypnosis you are relaxing the thinking conscious mind and allowing yourself access to your subconscious mind.

Suggestion Therapy

Suggestion Therapy is best suited helping clients to change habits of a life time, to relieve stress, to rid themselves of phobias, to Stop Smoking and for any symptoms or conditions which does not have an emotional root cause. As a therapist I help the client to access their subconscious mind by guiding them into hypnosis, a state of relaxation. Once that is achieved then with well constructed positive suggestions the client is enabled to make the changes he/she wishes to make.

By accessing the subconscious mind you are enabled to replace bad habits, change old limiting beliefs and embrace a brighter present and future. What a nice present to give yourself.

All Hypnotherapy for children at our private practice, Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic in the Isle of Man employs Suggestion Therapy.

Suggestion Therapy as Practiced at Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic in Peel, Isle of Man

Suggestion Therapy comprises of three sessions in the majority of cases. The first session is fact finding, clarifying the changes the client wants and I also teach them how to hypnotise themselves. The second session comprises of a relaxation session in hypnosis which will encompass all the positive changes the client has asked for. The client is given a personalised CD in this second session to take home which I make after the first session. The personalised CD has a relaxation introduction which is then followed by the positive suggestions to enhance the work done in session. This must be listened to every night for a minimum of 90 days. The third session is dependent on what the client reports on the changes during the previous week or any issues that have arisen. The work carried out in this session builds on the previous sessions so nothing is left to chance. Each client who attends Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic is an individual and as such our therapies are personalised to ensure the best outcome for each client.

Sleep

For most of us going to sleep at night is a pleasurable experience. We may have worked and played hard during the day and our minds and bodies need to recuperate, re-energise and rest for the following day. Most of us just simply close our eyes and think some pleasant thoughts and drift off into a deep sleep. If you are one of those lucky people well I guess you won’t be reading this … unless of course your partner or family member is not sleeping !

For those who find getting to sleep stressful and who struggle to get to sleep or for those who wake up in the middle of the night facing long lonely hours of tossing and turning in their beds, bedtime is not such a pleasurable experience. As minutes turn to hours the feelings of frustration and exhaustion intensify.

Insomnia robs us of our energy and much needed rejuvenation. It robs us of our joy of life as each sleepless night is followed by an exhausted day!

Insomnia does not have to be part of your existence. Imagine what it would be like to sleep like a baby, a natural blissful sleep.

Get the Rest You Need

At Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic we have helped many people do just that … sleep a natural blissful sleep! There are two types of therapies which we employ and we choose one of these to suit the individual client. For example, if the client has an emotional root cause for the insomnia then we choose Analytical Hypnotherapy. Another name for Analytical Hypnotherapy is Hypno-Psychotherapy. If the problem is simply a habit or if the client is a child then we choose Suggestion Therapy.

Your subconscious mind can help you to change your habits and automatic responses, allowing you to let go of anxieties and fears. Thinking thoughts of NOT sleeping create that very thing … of NOT sleeping. By accessing your subconscious mind through hypnosis you can change those negative thoughts and emotions to do with sleep and allow yourself to get the rest you need!

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.
