Zeke Andrews Hypnotherapy

I worked with John for 15 weeks. John was an African American diagnosed schizoaffective.

His symptoms were: delusional thoughts, disorganized speech, auditory and visual hallucinations.

In hypnosis, all of these symptoms would go away.

While working with him, he told me about a traumatic accident. His sister was killed in a drive-by shooting at the age of 16, she died within his hand. He was trying to guide her to safety.

His mind was attempting to process the traumatic event.

But the Feeling was so powerfully intense! The emotional brain stopped him from feeling. His rational mind started to create the illogical rationalization. His belief was verbalized as "I can't believe this.., I can't believe this.. "

The feeling was never processed, they were repressed. The denial started his delusional thinking.

That affected his cognition which lead to disorganized speech and hallucinations.

Well in hypnosis he was finally able to deal with the traumatic accident and after 15 weeks he became asymptomatic.

Our nervous system is sensitive to danger to keep us safe and protected. This stress is a normal physical response to an event or problem that makes us feel threatened or overwhelmed.

The same system that helps us avoid danger can be the same system that creates long term chronic stress that damages our mind and body.

I recently met with an individual that works as a product manager for a corporation. He had challenging deadlines, was short staffed, dealing with pressures from upper management with a home, fours kids and wife.

He came to see me for his frequent migraines but he also suffered with excessive worry, forgetfulness, muscle spasms, and as well as back pain. He signed on for 12 sessions for 1,000 dollars.

After the 4th session he reported that he had become asymptomatic. Life is meant to be lived and not endured. Refer me to your friend that suffers with frequent migraines. Ask them have they ever had a mental massage.

Depression and Anxiety interferes with concentration, motivation and many other normal everyday functioning. Stress may take the form of a complex disorder, involving many systems of the body, including the immune system, either as a cause or effect. It disrupts sleep and interferes with appetite, and in some cases, causes weight loss or weight gain. It involves mood and thoughts as well as the body, and it can cause pain both emotionally and physically.

Not everyone who is depressed experiences every symptom. Some people experience a few symptoms, while others experience many. Severity of symptoms vary amongst individuals, and also vary over time. Symptoms are:

Persistent sad, anxious, or empty mood

Feelings of hopelessness or pessimism

Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness

Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities that were once enjoyed, including s*x

Decreased energy, fatigue, being "slowed down"

Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions

Insomnia, early morning awakening or oversleeping

Appetite changes and/or weight loss, and/or weight gain

Thoughts of death or su***de, su***de attempts

Restlessness, irritability

Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment, such as headaches, digestive disorders and chronic pain.
