Back to What We Treat

The perception of pain

What we perceive and interpret as pain, is hugely influenced by our subconscious mind. Because of this, the pain that many people experience as a sensation, even chronic pain, is merely a perception, it is a manifestation of the subconscious mind for which the pain has a role, function, and purpose. Though it may seem counter-intuitive for our subconscious mind to create pain or illness in us, the function of the pain is almost always there to protect us in some way.

Whether or not the pain or other symptoms we are experiencing occurs psychosomatically is affected by a variety of influences and factors. These include our beliefs, thoughts, feelings, actions, and life events or outcomes. The feelings and the events we experience will often take us back to our original beliefs, forming looping patterns of thought and behaviour, further compounding the pain, or perception of pain we are experiencing. The roots of chronic pain and illness often lie in some unresolved issues, usually from our distant past or early childhood. It is common for people not to remember or indeed associate an event with the physical symptoms they are now experiencing. However, under hypnosis, the subconscious mind holds the clues and answers to why, and for what purpose the symptoms were formed.

The pioneering English anatomist and psychiatrist, Henry Maudsley quoted ‘The sorrow that has no vent in tears may make other organs weep’. Maudsley was particularly interested in the link between body and mind and was considered an authority in his day. The fact that Maudsley made this quote in 1895 is a testament to his profound observations while working as a psychiatrist in what is now the Maudsley hospital, London. Roll forward to today and medical professionals believe up to 70% of patients could have psychologically induced symptoms, requiring specialist therapy and mental health support to treat the underlying causes, often routed in childhood trauma and other deep trauma.

Sometimes the mind creates the pain or illness we are experiencing not to protect us, but as a form of self-punishment, or as a means of positioning us (getting attention), acting as our own judge and jailer. Whatever the function of the pain or illness, the mind has created the issue because it believes it is what we want.

COACHD Rapid Transformational Therapy™(RTT™) and Hypnotherapy can produce dramatic healing effects for a whole range of medical issues, illnesses, autoimmune diseases and pain, often within a single or limited number of sessions. COACHD therapies have a profound effect on your physical and emotional health and well-being and can reduce or negate the need for further medication and drugs.

You make your beliefs and then your beliefs make you

A very long time ago, our lives used to be a lot more stressful. There was no such thing as thriving, there was only surviving. It was a case of eat or be eaten, and often, we were the ones getting eaten.

In order to survive, our brains were filled with negative emotions and our bodies were fuelled by the chemistry this created. After all, you didn’t survive a natural disaster, ferocious attack, deadly disease, or starvation simply by being optimistic. And even though things are a lot better for us now, our brains really haven’t changed at all.

Often, we’ll say things like, “Ugh, if that person talks to me again, I’ll die” or “I literally cannot survive another meeting at work.” And though you may see this as harmless hyperbole, I mean ‘obviously, you don’t really think you’ll die if that person talks to you, do you?’ your subconscious mind already feels otherwise. It is crucial to understand that the brain has no sense of humour, and only picks up on words it hears and the pictures that those words (your thoughts) create - it thinks they’re real and it acts upon the information it’s being given, the information you’re giving it – you know ‘the stressy dying thing’.

Our clients struggle with a variety of issues and conditions, including anxiety, depression, addictions, fears, phobias, migraines, skin problems, anorexia, and obesity, to name a few. Most often we find that even though the symptoms of these conditions are perceived as real and can have a serious impact on the client’s health and well-being, the cause of the pain, issue or illness is psychosomatic - caused or aggravated by a mental factor such as internal conflict or stress.

70% of physiological issues are 100% psychosomatic

As an example: A client who is a university graduate suffers from chronic headaches. She’s waitressing, and for a long time, her father has given her a hard time about her choice of job, saying “she’s done nothing” with her education. Because of this, and to stop hearing the constant criticism, she unconsciously starts developing headaches, that prevent her from pursuing the career her father wants for her. The headaches give our client a real excuse, they prevent her from pursuing that career because she would not be able to cope with the pressure of the job and her migraines. The prior criticism, or at least potentially so, turns into, “My poor daughter. She trained to be a lawyer or a doctor, but now she’s got these headaches!”

This alternative outcome is what we call the Role, Function, Purpose, and Intention of the presenting problem, in this case, the migraine. When the symptom of an issue, like the migraine in this example, has an intended purpose that benefits the patient (i.e., escaping criticism), then it isn’t going to correct itself until we’ve helped them change the belief that caused the issue and symptom to form.

Your mind doesn't care about being happy

We imagine that our mind’s job is to make us happy, and yet it really isn’t. Our mind's job is to ensure we survive against what were once terrible odds. And one of the ways we survived was in the way our mind responded to the things we said to ourselves, such as ‘That would kill me, or I’d die if that happened.’ Upon hearing this, our mind would go into red alert, doing whatever was necessary to prevent the fateful event from occurring. Roll forward to today, and nothing has changed, our mind still thinks and acts the same as was the case during tougher times, when hardship was a daily event and death was far more likely. Therefore, it is up to us to tell ourselves a different story if we want our mind and body to give us an outcome that is befitting of better circumstances.

That being said, we still tell ourselves some pretty crazy stuff, and sometimes, we subconsciously create roles and functions (mentioned earlier) for the pain we’re consequently experiencing. Our emotional pain is very often expressed through the body as a physical symptom. Thankfully, the solution to this problem is quite simple, only requiring us to train ourselves to think better thoughts.

Tell yourself a better story

Creating better thoughts means telling ourselves a better story.

Our brains are wired to chase familiar experiences and avoid unfamiliar ones as a means of reducing r isk and increasing our chances of survival. Trying something new is always harder, or risker than doing something you’ve always done.

This tendency towards the familiar can lead to some dangerous habits too. Have you ever experienced a toxic relationship? Often, that toxicity becomes so familiar, that suddenly it becomes your reality and the experience that you move towards, time and time again. In doing so, you also create a false narrative, telling yourself that this is how relationships are for you, and how they need to be, and you stay a part of that false narrative for as long as possible. Humans are hard-wired to recreate what is familiar to them, we prefer what we know, even if it’s bad for us.

So how do we change our story? How do we make thoughts like ‘I’m beautiful, I’m worthy, I’m capable, Pain has no place in me’ stick in our brains and become our familiar way of thinking?.

Well, you can start by getting up each and every morning and telling yourself, ‘I’m a good person. I have a purpose, I have meaning, and I have something to offer the world. I’m here for a reason.’ Whatever it is you most want to hear, say it to yourself, because your mind doesn’t know what’s coming, it’s just waiting for your next instruction, so why not make them the things that make you feel wonderful and pain-free? Keep in mind that the words you say to yourself and the pictures you create in your mind cause your body to have a physical response, usually of equal measure and proportion, so choosing your words wisely means they will work for you and not against you.

Sure it sounds almost too easy, but here’s the thing, you have to be consistent. If you’re going to tell yourself a better story and you want it to stick, you absolutely must tell yourself that story every day, always and forever - the mind learns through repetition.

There is actually nothing on the planet that will raise your self-esteem more than receiving someone's praise, but self-praise is even better. And because the mind likes repetition so much, when praising yourself every day, your mind thinks, ‘Here you go again with that praise. You say it every day, it must be true.’ Similarly, if you criticise yourself every day, your mind works the exact same way, accepting it to be the truth and helping build upon this blueprint as your preferred mode of being.

A massive part of your well-being relies on the story you’re telling yourself. Bad things will inevitably happen to you, as with everyone else, and when something bad does happen, you will inevitably attach meaning to that event. Blaming yourself, and self-criticism are harmful, but you can reverse these familiar responses and change your story from ‘I’m worthless’ to ‘I’m worthy’ and see the remarkable effect that has on your life and the pain you’ve been experiencing.

Knowing 'you are enough' changes everything

The thing we see most people struggling with is always a belief ‘I’m not enough’.

That feeling of not being enough is easily the biggest issue our clients face. In fact, without any consultation, we can confidently tell our clients that there are only three things that can be wrong with them. The first is, I’m not enough. The second is, I’m different, so I can’t connect. And the third is, I really want something, like freedom from pain or depression, but it isn’t available to me. A possible fourth belief is, even if there is help available to me, I don’t deserve it.

Ultimately what this feeling of not being enough comes down to is a lack of self-belief and the fear of rejection. From birth, we are hard-wired to find connection and avoid rejection. It’s the fear of rejection that is crippling and can cause many of the issues we treat in our clinic. We teach our clients that the only person who could truly reject them is them and that other people can only reject them if they choose to let the feeling in. ‘I am enough’ is a phrase we ask our clients to tell themselves repeatedly because when they know they are enough, and they truly believe it, everything is available to them.

Help is available to you!

We help our clients understand that their thoughts become reality, so they can actively work at changing that reality into something positive, uplifting, and healthy. We not only help our clients improve their emotional health but many aspects of their physical health too. Emotional pain is often expressed through the body, so we work on improving our client's patterns of thought so that their physical self is affected positively as a result.

If you’ve been routinely convincing yourself that you’re unworthy of a pain-free life, your mind will do everything it can to make that your reality. Depression, nerves, anxiety and confidence issues are good examples of this, they are your mind and body's response to the beliefs you hold about yourself and a way of protecting you from a fear of failure or judgement.

Repeated negative thoughts will demotivate you and give rise to an even more powerful ‘inner critic’. It will keep you exactly where you tell it you want to be. Although the mind resists change, it is quite brilliant at learning through repetition – tell it something enough times and in the right way and it happily recodes itself to the new instruction. That’s an aspect of the mind that COACHD takes full advantage of with our Rapid Transformational Therapy™(RTT™) and Hypnotherapy when treating clients who are suffering from physical symptoms, including pain and illness.

Every thought you think, every word you say to yourself and every picture you create in your mind, form a blueprint that your mind and body work to make your reality. And since your mind responds to the thoughts and words you tell it, then, by definition, it will protect them and make them your reality. Knowing this, you can see that your reality isn’t something external to you, it is whatever reality you create in your mind.
