When trauma or extreme emotional distress occurs, if the person cannot
(verbally) express and work through and resolve feelings about the event, these
emotions may be manifested as physical symptoms. As I explained in a previous
blog titled Body
Syndromes, these symptoms are likely to occur in areas of the body that
correspond to the trauma or presenting issue. For example, if a woman is raped
she may subsequently experience vaginal tightness that prevents any kind of
sexual pleasure and even find intercourse painful.
When psychologist and hypnotherapist John Kappas, Ph.D., treated these
symptoms in hypnotherapy, the Hypnosis
Motivation Institute founder recommended explaining how the client’s subconscious
denial of the rape may have contributed to these symptoms. If appropriate and if she
was ready to deal with the trauma, a hypnotherapist could help her go through
the stages of loss during hypnotherapy, he said.
Dr. Kappas also advised including the client’s husband/partner in the
therapy using the Systems
Approach even if the other person is not present during the sessions. This
inclusion is necessary because the client’s past trauma is likely affecting
their sexual relationship; or, finally confronting the emotional trauma caused by the rape, in therapy, may have
repercussions on the current relationship.
“It’s possible that removing the denial will reveal traumas,” the HMI
founder warned. Therefore, the hypnotherapist must correct the client’s denial
mechanism but not remove it completely. The hypnotherapist would also need
to bring up more of her physical
suggestibility to help her work through her physical symptoms*, he added.
*California
law allows access by California residents to complementary and alternative
health care practitioners who are not providing services that require medical
training and credentials. The purpose of a program of hypnotherapy is for
vocational and avocational self-improvement (Business and
Professions Code 2908) and as an alternative or complementary
treatment to healing arts services licensed by the state. A hypnotherapist is
not a licensed physician or psychologist, and hypnotherapy services are not
licensed by the state of California. Services are non-diagnostic and do not
include the practice of medicine, neither should they be considered a
substitute for licensed medical or psychological services or procedures.

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 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.
