P.S.H. Therapy – Working with the emotional brain to help you bring permanent relief to many of life’s challenges.

P.S.H. therapy is a gentle and private process of emotional healing made possible by our natural subconscious ability to let go of uncomfortable emotional responses that are no longer appropriate.

Unlike other psychological therapies, there is no need to discuss the problem at length. This can be of particular benefit to people who have suffered a traumatic experience or teens who simply don’t want to talk about what’s going on for them.

Children also respond quickly and easily to the P.S.H. approach.

Past clients of all ages have reported significant positive change in the areas of anxiety, depression, chronic pain, inflammatory conditions, compulsive behaviours, unresolved grief, eating disorders, anger management, insomnia, low self-esteem, migraines and headaches, panic attacks, performance blocks, phobias, relationships, stress and tension, weight control issues and many others – often in a very short period of time.

P.S.H. therapy was developed in Australia more than 40 years ago and is at the heart of both the Overcoming Chronic Pain program, and Embracing Chemo program, as well as the very popular Calmbirth®program.

  Understanding Difficult Emotions
  by Belinda Hawkins

  And what you can do about them Most people don’t realise we have two emotional processing systems. The first is a subconscious automatic response that occurs outside of conscious level awareness. For example when a threat is perceived, a defence response occurs in the emotional part of our brain to protect us. Almost (but not […]

  Overcoming Chronic Pain Blog Post
  by Belinda Hawkins
  February 13, 2020
  What we now know about chronic pain, is that it is more about the sensitivity of the nervous system, than any physical injury. And one of the best analogies to help someone understand how to overcome chronic pain, is that of a polluted river. The river representing your nervous system. Imagine for a moment every […]

With: Dr Steve Hawkins

Long term stress can be damaging and it is estimated that 90% of doctor visits in America are for conditions that result from stress. Australia is not significantly different.

Bio-feedback is the measurement of the physiological changes the body undergoes in response to stress.

Once a baseline measurement is taken, Steve then uses neuro-feedback to help train the nervous system to respond to stress more effectively.

“Research shows that there is more evidence for hypnotherapy than any other complementary therapy. By using hypnosis people can perform prodigious feats of willpower and self-healing” – The Health Education Authority 

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnosis is a natural state of trance similar to that achieved in meditation and which can be induced by concentration on a single idea or focus. In a therapeutic setting, hypnosis provides a very powerful tool to access subconscious patterns of thought and behaviour and resolve issues that lie beyond the capabilities of conscious resolution. The profound state of relaxation and solution-focused awareness provides a context for new insights and understandings to be formed facilitated by the therapist. Treatment is tailored to each client and a programe of therapy is designed according to your preferences, requirements, personality and needs.

Who does Hypnotherapy Help?

With appropriate hypnotherapy, depression is one of the most treatable disorders. It has dramatically lower rates of relapse than with anti-depressants alone. In fact, it is now considered the most effective treatment for it, even in severe cases, enabling the client to focus on solving problems and engaging fully in life again. Hypnotherapy can be the solution to:

Easing Stress and Anxiety

Stress and anxiety can be a common complaint in today’s society, with most people encountering it at some point. When it becomes too much to cope with, it can effect our quality of life. Excessive and prolonged stress can lead to illness, physical and emotional exhaustion, increased anxiety and panic attacks. When we come under excessive pressure we tend to respond with either anxiety, anger or depression or a combination of all three.

Lifting Depression

Depression is perhaps the most common psychological disorder today. Often when it does occur, the individual will turn in on themselves and refuse to engage with others. Severity can range from being almost totally dysfunctional to having some of the symptoms associated with the illness.

• Depressed mood and fearfulness
• Sleep disturbances
• Loss of energy and/or appetite
• Loss of pleasure or interest in usual activities
• Difficulties in thinking, concentrating etc.

How Hypnotherapy can help?

Hypnotherapy gives us the ability to cope in different situations in a calm and effective way. You will be able to control your anxiety levels and have a calmer, more confident approach to all situations. Its success can be aided when the patient also uses self-hypnosis and/or a relaxation CD; recreating the calm state experienced during the hypnotherapy session.

Around twelve million adult’s see their GP’s with mental health problems each year – most of these suffer from anxiety and depression, much of which is stress-related.
