To minimize risk of exposure to and spread of the COVID-19 virus, I have temporarily suspended in-person hypnotherapy sessions with me in my office, but they will be returning soon! Meanwhile, phone, and Zoom consultations ARE and WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE!

According to John Kappas, Ph.D., whenever a person
represses or does not express an emotion the displaced energy from that
experience is converted into a physical “symptom” of that emotional trauma. The
phenomenon is called a body
syndrome. There are no nerve endings in the brain; however, sensory
perception (e.g., smell, taste, sight, hearing, touch) that begin there send electric
impulses that carry this information through the body. These impulses ultimately
begin to manifest physical discomfort in areas of the body that are
specifically associated with a certain repressed emotion. Once we are aware of
which emotion is being manifested, we can treat the syndrome, the Hypnosis
Motivation Institute founder stated.
A few nights ago, a late-night
talk-show host told his audience that he tends to wander across the stage while
he does the monolog during his show. In fact, the host confided that he never
really noticed this behavior until one of his producers showed him a clip from
a previous episode. Sure enough, within a few minutes he had drifted several
feet to the left of his mark (tape) on the middle of the stage. His studio
audience laughed. My mind whirred and came up with an immediate explanation for
his nightly migrations across the stage: Flight Syndrome.
Flight
Syndrome represents physical symptoms and behaviors that affect the legs
and feet. In this syndrome, a person manifests his or subconscious desire to
run away from a situation or problem that may be inducing fear or anxiety. Physical
symptoms affect the muscular/skeletal structure of the legs and feet (e.g.,
bunions, breaks or sprains) or even disorders of the circulatory or nervous
system (e.g., varicose veins or neuropathy). Flight syndrome behaviors include
pacing, toe-tapping and an inability to remain still.
As a certified
hypnotherapist, it is out of my scope of expertise to diagnose an illness or to
recognize/identify specific symptoms that have a psychological or physiological
basis. Therefore, I do and will refer
clients to an appropriate licensed medical or psychology professional to
determine the cause and/or treat that specific physical symptom that. However,
once this other expert has ruled out a medical etiology of your symptom, with a
follow-up referral from that licensed professional, I can continue to work with
you in hypnotherapy, which can provide complementary therapeutic benefits and
help to alleviate and/or control these symptoms and help you to pursue and
achieve your vocational and avocational self-improvement goals.
People
generally do not know the cause of this presenting issue when they seek
hypnotherapy. Therefore, the first step to treating someone who is manifesting
a flight syndrome is to explore what the client is running away from and possible
reasons why the client needs or wants to run away. Once the possible cause(s)
has been established, I would use systematic desensitization to help the client
neutralize the intensity of the stimulus that triggers his or her physical
symptom or flight behavior. I would also incorporate guided therapeutic imagery
and teach the emotional freedom technique to
increase the person’s perception of being able to control and prevail over the
flight triggers and manage symptoms of physiological discomfort.

Hi, there. I am Tom Neil and I wish to describe how life had been for my younger brother living with schizophrenia and how he had been permanently able to survive this debilitating disease via a naturopathic, herbal treatment.
ReplyDeleteMaicon - my kid brother was twenty years old when he was carried to the emergency room by the campus police of the college from which he had been suspended several months ago. A professor had called and reported that he had walked into his classroom, accused him of taking his tuition money, and refused to leave.
Although he had much academic success as a teenager, his behavior had become increasingly odd during the past year. He quit seeing his friends and no longer seemed to care about his appearance or social pursuits. He began wearing the same clothes each day and seldom bathed. He lived with several family members but rarely spoke to any of them. When he did talk to them, he said he had found clues that his college was just a front for an organized crime operation. He had been suspended from college because of missing many classes. My sister said that she had often seen him mumbling quietly to himself and at times he seemed to be talking to people who were not there. He would emerge from my room and ask my family to be quiet even when they were not making any noise.
My father and sister told the staff that Maicon's great-grandmother had had a serious illness and had lived for 30 years in a state hospital, which they believed was a mental hospital. Our mother left the family when Maicon was very young. She has been out of touch with us, and they thought she might have been treated for mental health problems.
Maicon agreed to sign himself into the psychiatric unit for treatment. The whole family except I had agreed to have Maicon transferred to a mental asylum. I knew inwardly there was still some plausible means by which my kid brother could overcome this condition. I knew botanical means of treatment will be more favorable than any other type of treatment, and as such, I had taken a keen interest in the research of naturopathic alternative measures suitable for the treatment of schizophrenia. I had pleaded for some little patience from the family in the delay of the transfer, I was looking forward to proving a point to the entire family, of a positive botanical remedy for this condition.
It was during my ceaseless search on the internet I had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu Herbal Cure: an African herbalist and witch doctor whose professional works had majored on the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially schizophrenia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that my brother had been able to improve his condition for better.
Before the naturopathic remedy - Maicon's story had reflected a common case, in which a high-functioning young adult goes through a major decline in day-to-day skills. Although family and friends may feel this is a loss of the person they knew, the illness can be treated and a good outcome is possible.
My brother Maicon is just like many other patients out there suffering from this disease. Although he was able to overcome this condition via a naturopathic herbal remedy administered by this African herbal physician and saved completely thus, rekindling the lost joy which had been experienced by the family members.
I wish to use this opportunity to reach across to anyone who may happen to be diagnosed with this disastrous condition to spread the hope of an everlasting herbal remedy that is capable of imposing a permanent end to this disease.
