Mind Body Chronic Pain Recovery in East London and West Essex

UK Member of The Association for the Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms https://www.symptomatic.me/ Committed to keeping abreast with the Scientific Evidence of this most important work in Health Psychology today.

With my own unique set of skills and competence as a qualified Hypnotherapist, CBT Life Coach, NLP Master Practitioner and Counsellor I will integrate these models into one nuts and bolts package where you finally feel ready to just get on and enjoy the rest of your life.

What makes my programme different?
From the moment you sign up to my relief programme, you will feel fully supported. I only work with a small caseload at a time for this reason. You will receive my welcome resources, educational resources, and I will also sign you up for 6 weeks of free use of the Curable App. This is a fantastic resource which is committed totally to recovery from Mind Body Disorder. Throughout your programme, my role is to impart my knowledge and skill set so that you will feel encouraged to keep going through your own personal mental, psycho-physiological and emotional journey, even if this means two steps forward and one step back. I really do I understand how isolating and desperate you can feel at times, especially if you feel that no one else has your specific symptoms or is going through your particular emotional challenges.

My aim for you is that by the end of your programme, you will be completely back to your normal, engaging in your desired activities whether that is basic goals such as to be able to sit for hours, fly on a plane, participate in sports and hobbies you are passionate about, lifting and playing with your kids or more extreme long term goals. We will address your mental health and well-being at a pace that feels right for you so that you will see the same situation differently, and that’s a good thing.

Just as everyones life journey is different, so is your mind -body recovery journey

By raising your awareness of how your mind affects your body, you will be in a much better and richer place to understand how you can help yourself feel fully empowered to manage and take control of your symptoms now and for the rest of your life.

Proud to be one of the very first UK therapists to qualify in the field of Tension Myoneural Syndrome (TMS) Stress Illness back in 2011 via SIRPA.

Still sceptical or on the fence? Honestly that’s OK – Let’s clear up some misconceptions:

Education is power, let’s start here, your chronic pain is real, there is nothing imaginary about it, some people become resistant initially to this work believing they are being told ‘your pain is all in your head’ so let’s set the record straight: The first thing to know is when you are feeling your pain it is your body’s way of communicating with you, your pain is real, it is telling you that right now you need to be distracted away from what is too painful to focus on emotionally. Yes, it is true to say that all pain comes from the brain, and once you have ruled out cancer, a tumour or fracture, it is not a structural hurt that needs to be operated on or repaired by seeing a physiotherapist or other ‘body part specialist’. Many people initially link their pain to an accident or fall of some sort without making the emotional connection until months or sometimes years down the line. Ask yourself this question ‘ What was going on in my life around the time of my injury or my pain/symptom developing. See the bigger picture, look for emotional stresses perhaps in your relationships, family concerns, conflict at work, money concerns or any other life challenging event. Your mind and body are simply trying to protect you by giving you an ongoing chronic pain focus and distraction.

Chronic Pain not Acute Pain I only treat chronic pain with a mind-body approach; acute pain, such as a small burn, a pulled muscle or a sprain, will heal naturally in just a few short weeks. Our bodies know how to heal; even the largest bone in the body, the femur, takes just around 6 weeks to heal.

So if your injury could and should heal, what stops it?
Your lingering chronic pain is, in fact, coming from your suppressed and repressed emotions, such as fear, anger, worry, frustration, sadness, etc. Did you know that 95% or your thoughts and feelings are subconscious, you are not aware of them, these suppressed and repressed emotions may be long held onto, possibly triggered from as far back as your childhood adversity experiences. You have, in fact, without realising it, developed unhealthy neural pathways of learnt behaviour whereby your suppressed emotions now trigger reactions of high alert in your body.

We now know through research that most childhood adversity shows up decades later in your 30’s 40’s and 50’s. Empower yourself to understand how your early years affect you today, take the ACE Score Test and find out how high levels of trauma that you experienced as a child mean you are far more likely to develop chronic pain and autoimmune conditions as an adult.

 Simply put, our mind and body are connected: What we think we feel, and this affects our behaviour. Did you know we have over 80,000 thoughts a day? Imagine how much more relaxed you would feel without all of those high-alert thoughts of rage, anger, fear, panic, worry and sadness. Imagine where you would be without all your fearful thoughts. As a CBT Hypno-Psychotherpist I am fully equipped to support you with this.

How long is this recovery going to take? Often, by the time patients contact me, there is an intensity and an urgency that they just want the discomfort gone. In the Western world, we are so familiar with giving our power away, taking a painkiller for the pain to ease up or seeing a GP or specialist who has trained to focus on a particular body part; in other words, we have grown up to think that we need someone else or something else to fix us.; In truth it will, to a point, be dependent on how much work, awareness and understanding you are willing to do on yourself without putting undue pressure on yourself because this, in fact, may actually cause more symptoms. That’s why working with the right professional such as myself, is so crucial and far more effective than if you were to try to recover on  your own

Life can be challenging
When we feel emotional, this energy in motion (emotion) literally gets bottled up inside of us. These emotions filter through to our body from our mind and then have to come out somehow. How do they come out? They show up in our body as physical symptoms.

It is said that it is not what happens to us in life but how we process those events that cause the problem. That is why working with your personality is so important. Imagine becoming a calmer, more confident version of yourself with my support.

Work with me online: Prefer to staying the comfort of your own home or if you’re too much in pain to commute.  Choosing to work with me online is no problem, I offer the same fully comprehensive programme online nationwide and internationally  via a secure online  Telehealth platform called Doxy.me

My passion is to literally give people their lives back. This is reflected in all of the lovely positive testimonials and reviews that are left for me on both Google and Yell.com.

What this means for you is that when it comes to supporting you, rather than a group recovery programme, I offer bespoke one-on-one support where you have my complete attention to focus on your personal recovery journey, 

Whether you are right at the beginning of your awareness of Mind-Body Disorder  or  whether you ‘get it’ but feel you just need someone with specialist therapeutic knowledge to guide you through, you’ve landed on the right page. 

Not all emotional healing is linear, and rest assured, we will go at a pace that feels right for you without putting too much pressure on yourself to recover overnight, so it really is safe for you to let go of your fear. 

This is a human condition; we all show up differently daily, and there are many things that can impact our nervous system, so be kind to yourself if you are experiencing periods of stress in your life.

A Therapeutic Approach is important, do note that not all trained UK Stress Illness Practitioners are qualified as mental health therapists.
Typically, my patients will tell me they have spent years feeling powerless, helpless, not validated, victimised, and codependent. Scapegoated, Ostrecised. Have allowed themselves to be violated in some way with no boundaries of self-care or self-love and have developed unhealthy coping strategies of disassociating, avoiding, suppressing and repressing emotions. Let’s work on that together. It’s time to reclaim your power and shift from a state of high alert to rest and repair
