“Negative moments get remembered. Traumatic
ones get forgotten.”
One of the great things about the mind is its capacity to help us deal
with a painful or even traumatic event in our lives. On the one hand, the
plasticity of the brain enables us to adapt to an uncomfortable environment and
learn lessons from that experience to avoid getting into a similar situation in
the future. On the other hand, the mind also naturally knows how to block out
and even forget the memory of that event so we can continue to function and
fulfill daily activities to facilitate our basic survival. In other words, this
kind of case-specific amnesia functions like a life-saving balm.
For example: someone contacts me for hypnotherapy to overcome an intense
fear of driving and being in a vehicle following a serious car crash. This
person knows the facts about what happened but does not remember anything about
the collision or the moments immediately afterward when firefighters had to cut
him out of the vehicle with Jaws-of-Life equipment. That is okay. I do not need to know these details to create
an effective hypnotic script that will help to increase the client’s comfort
and self-confidence while driving or being in a car. In fact, this gap in the
client’s conscious awareness of the crash facilitates the physiological and
psychological healing process as he works toward achieving the avocational
self-improvement goal of being comfortable behind the wheel.
Consequently, I do not use age-regression
hypnosis to help a client access a repressed memory following a traumatic
event. Doing so would be similar to ripping a scab off of a deep abrasion
before the original wound has had a chance to heal. If and when the person is
emotionally, physically and even spiritually ready to address what happened,
these memories are likely to return organically in spontaneous flashes of
recollection or through dreams. If and when that happens, I can use various hypnosis,
therapeutic guided imagery and neuro-linguistic programming
techniques to help the individual become desensitized to and deal with how these
memories and consequences of this event. It may also be necessary to refer the
client to a licensed mental-health provider and/or a physician for additional
assessment and care if this issue falls outside of the scope of my expertise as
a certified hypnotherapist.

Hi, there. I am Tom Neil and I want to describe how life had been for my younger brother living with schizophrenia and how he had been forever able to overcome this debilitating disease via a naturopathic, herbal method.
ReplyDeleteMaicon - my kid brother was twenty years old when he was brought 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.
