How Can These Therapies Help You?
We all go through periods of stress in our lives and can quickly feel overwhelmed if our usual coping methods aren't enough. Therapy lends a supportive hand that not only brings welcome relief to the distress but encourages healing at a deeper level, changing the way you handle distress in the future.
Theta Healing was founded by Vianna Stibal, a naturapath who almost by accident stumbled on a way to heal her cancer! After her recovery from cancer she continued to develop and refine Theta Healing further in order to teach it to others.
Theta Healing has several applications but the main one is in belief clearing, this aspect is more profound and more completely life transformative than can be grasped at first glance.
(If you would like to know more about how beliefs shape our lives please email me for an article if you aren't already signed up for my newsletter)
Theta Healing can rapidly cut to the core of, and transform problems no matter how insurmountable they may seem.
How Does It Work?
Theta Healing has been described as the place where quantum physics and metaphysics meet. As far as the practitioner is concerned we need to hold a belief in a higher power, spirit or God - whatever you may want to call that. The client does not necesarily have to hold this belief, thankfully, or I may have been a little reluctant to train in it! The belief in this is important from the practitioners point of view as it is who we asking for the healing to take place from. The quantum physics part is in the "witnessing" of the change taking place.
As far as the science bit goes, in quantum or particle physics it was discovered that all energy exists in particle or waveform (all matter is composed of energy - E=mc²(!)- it is merely a matter of how slow or fast the energy is vibrating). Energy exists as a wave until it is observed/witnessed then it changes into a particle (i.e. forms matter).
In Theta, and also in visualisation, it is the mental witnessing of the change that heals the problem and this can also be used to install new positive beliefs and feelings. Dr David Hamilton explains this beautifully in his book "How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body".
Think about any aspect of your life that you are less than happy about. There will be a belief structure holding that in place. Pull out the relevant beliefs and the problem dissolves. I have found that clearing certain core beliefs is like pulling out the threads that hold a problem together. The issue then collapses or becomes easy to deal with.
The skill needed in Theta Healing is in getting to the core belief of any problem. I use a combination of the techniques below in order to facilitate this.
EFT was founded in 1992 by Gary Craig; it very quickly grew in popularity in the US, being mainly used by Psychotherapists and Clinical Hypnotherapists.
EFT is remarkably effective because it does one thing - and it does it very well! - it dissolves negative feelings. It achieves this by dealing with emotion at the source - an energy disturbance in the body.
When we clear negative thoughts and uncomfortable feelings what we are frequently left with is increased mental clarity and a greater sense of confidence and peace.
How is EFT applied?
EFT is applied by tapping specific accupressure points on the face, upper body and hands. It is performed through clothes whilst comfortably seated. Though powerful when it comes to uncovering deep seated emotions and issues it is also remarkably safe and gentle in that your privacy can be respected if wished and distress will be minimised as much as possible.

EmoTrance
EmoTrance is a revolutionary new approach to energy psychology invented by Dr Silvia Hartman. It enables you to understand where your emotions are coming from as you are clearing them.
As you are talking about a problem you will be asked about the "felt sense" of the issues and feelings you are describing, this felt sense is what you feel or "see" in the body (a little like describing nervousness as "butterflies in the stomach").
Through gentle coaching you will soften and clear these "stuck" feelings, this is a remarkably powerful process that can elegantly clear through layer upon layer of buried feelings without having to deal with the memories or undergo painful emotional catharsis.
EmoTrance is also a highly effective medium for installing high energy states of confidence and self worth.
As I have also trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Ericksonian Hypnotherapy I bring elements of these approaches into sessions, mainly regression techniques from Hypnotherapy. In order to facilate thorough clearing of issues often regression to events that have given rise to problems that are occuring now is necessary.
This can be this life or past lives.
NLP techniques are mainly used to install positive and resourceful new states in order to have a new way of being to move forward to. This is especially important if a certain way of being or behaving has become habitual.
How many sessions are needed?
After one session most people will notice a difference in the way they feel. However most problems have several layers and different branches to them.
On average it takes about three sessions to notice a significant difference to a specific problem. This difference is usually permanent; if more emotions and distress comes up this is because a different aspect or layer is now surfacing.
When comparing energy healing work with traditional therapy to treat a problem such as, for instance, a traumatic event it takes on average about three sessions and has an 80% success rate. When using one of the more effective "talk" therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy it takes about ten sessions and has a 40 - 50% success rate. (These kind of studies can be found on Gary Craig's Emofree site)
Please feel free to email or telephone me to discuss any of the above. We can usually only tell how deep an issue is in an actual session and of course it is always up to you to decide whether or not you wish to experience more sessions or feel comfortable working with me. I am quite happy to recomend other therapies and therapists as I understand the level of courage and trust needed to open up to someone and how important it is to feel safe. This sense of safety is often undefinable and can be dependant upon how well you simply "click" with a therapist.
