Psychosomatic and emotional problems always have a root cause and unless it is removed or neutralised, the effect of any therapy is temporary.
For example many times insomnia is treated with sleeping pills, anxiety with anxiolytics etc, but as soon as you stop medication the symptoms return because the root causes of these problems are not dealt with.
Psychosomatic and emotional problems is generally treated with medications and psychotherapy.
Psychiatric medications are used extensively for serious mental disorder like bipolar, schizophrenia etc with good success but these are not as effective for problems like phobia, insomnia, OCD etc. Also a lot of people want to avoid these medication because of their side effects.
Psychotherapy remains the mainstay treatment for psychosomatic and emotional issues. There are many different types of psychotherapy like CBT, REBT, behaviour therapy etc and these therapies work for most issues.
Only problem with psychotherapy is it take really long. On average it takes about 12 to 20 sessions minimum, maximum it can go on for months and years. Because of this long duration many patients drop out halfway making therapy ineffective.
At Acme Mind Clinic we take care of both these problems
- Though therapy as done by a doctor we do not use any medicine
- And our integrated therapy generally takes 3 to 5 sessions.
We are able to do this so quickly because we are incorporating another scientifically approved therapeutic intervention with psychotherapy. its known as hypnotherapy (Don’t let the word “hypno” scare you. It is approved by American medical association and British medical association as scientifically valid form of therapy )
why we use hypnotherapy?
The causes of our emotional and/or psychosomatic problems, many times, are some painful and distressing event in past. and every time something reminds us of these events, it hurts. To avoid this pain our mind buries the memories deep, so it’s not easily accessible.
Let’s make it more clear
Suppose someone has an abscess, or breaks a bone; would he allow anyone to just cut and drain that abscess or manipulate and fix that broken bone? Even though that’s exactly what needs to be done. Most people won’t allow it.. because it hurts so bad. Only way it can be done, comfortably and safely, is by using some kind of numbing agent /anaesthesia so it doesn’t hurt that bad.
In the same way manipulating emotionally painful memories hurts as much physical pain, therefore your mind keeps blocking the access to these memories. (and that’s why normal psychotherapy takes so long) We use hypnotherapy here. The calming and relaxing effect of hypnosis acts as numbing agent it reduces the discomfort considerably so that the therapy is done in a safe and comfortable way. Also with hypnosis your imagination and focus is greatly enhanced which makes changing those negative memories, emotion and habits much easier.
So At Acme We Change Thought and Emotion… Quickly And Comfortably.
