ANGER & AGGRESSION

            
John's Story

John knew that his outbursts of Aggression were having a detrimental effect on his marriage and fortunately he was, firstly able to admit it, secondly he sought help, and then subsequently, he had the problem resolved.
 
Significant benefits he gained from Private Subconscious Therapy were his feelings of Depression, Aggression, Guilt, Jealousy, Low Self Esteem and Irritability.
 
His bad habits such as Gambling, Smoking and Overeating also substantially subsided.
 
He now leads a calmer life as he is naturally supposed to.

"I used to have a foul mouth, couldn't control my temper and this greatly affected my marriage. My Diabetes has even improved significantly and just more interested in life. Thanks Darren."

A Leopard can't change its spots,
But People Can Change, and their Feelings Can Change,
By fixing their Unresolved Emotion

 

Anger Management or Anger Resolving?

Why just learn to manage Anger when you can resolve it instead?
 
With Private Subconscious Therapy, the aim is to resolve deep seated problems like built up anger, by way of resolving the original cause, the Unresolved Emotion. Once this "Feeling Cause" is resolved, PST clients don't experience aggressive outbursts as much because they gain a much calmer life and can control their feelings such as Anger more easily.
 
The Ugly side of Anger
 
Anger is a powerful emotion. If deep seated anger isn't resolved, it can have destructive results for both you and the people around you. Unresolved anger can lead to arguments, physical fights, physical abuse, assault and self-harm.

The Physical Effects
 
When a person get's Angry, the body's 'Fight or Flight' response is triggered. Other emotions that trigger this response include Fear, Excitement and Anxiety. The adrenal glands flood the body with stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol. The autonomic nervous system sends blood away from the gut and towards the muscles, in preparation for physical exertion, and the Digestive System and immune system are not working anywhere near their full capacity. Heart rate, blood pressure and respiration increase, the body temperature rises and the skin perspires.
 
 
Health Problems
 
The constant flood of stress chemicals and associated metabolic changes that accompany recurrent anger can eventually cause harm to many different systems of the body. Some of the health problems that have been linked to anger include:

  • Headaches/Migraines
  • Digestion problems
  • Insomnia
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Muscle Tension
  • Back, Neck & Shoulder Pain
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Skin Problems
  • Heart Attack
  • Stroke

Anger Statistics

  • Approximately 45% of us regularly lose our temper at work
  • Over a third of men are unhappy at work.
  • Over half of the people working in an office have had office rage.
  • 65% of people express anger over the phone, 26% in writing and 9% face to face.
  • Over 60% of drivers claim to have been involved in road rage incidents
  • Nearly 50% of people have been the victims of bullying at work.
  • In the year 2006-07, there were 1038 violent assaults on trains, trams and buses in Melbourne.
  • More worrying still, violent offenders have increased by 5.3 per cent on 2004-05.
  • Violent crime accounts for 16 per cent of all offences resulting in jail terms - the highest off all offences.

ANXIETY
PANIC ATTACKS
OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER

          
Bron's Story
 
"Before I had Private Subconscious Therapy, I was already dead inside.
 
No one understood me which caused me to constantly hide. My stepfather abused me for 6 years, and every day I was in tears. For 18 years, my life was a disaster.
 
Defensive attitude and inconsolable tears very quickly became my master.
 
But after seeing Darren, my blessings are too incredible to explain. His approach was second to none and the real me I have gained.
 
My Bi-Polar has lifted dramatically and I no longer feel dead inside. As a mum of 5, my kids used to call me "Angry Mum" & "Sad Mum". All they call me now is "Happy Mum"
 
Thank you so much Darren for unlocking my Barricaded Emotions
".

BACK, NECK & SHOULDER PAIN
MUSCLE TENSION
          

Physical? or Emotional Pain ?
 
Lots of people are physical within their work, sport or at home. However, Private Subconscious Therapy has helped many people to ease their physical pain because of the Emotional Cause that promotes it. Muscle Tension is often linked to Stress. Once the Unresolved Emotion has been resolved, and the Fight or Flight system rebalanced, it's only natural that physical symptoms improve.

Emotional Causes
 
A large percentage of back pain complaints are not caused by a physical problem. Psychological back pain is one of the most common forms of back and spine pain. The mind and body interact constantly and are jointly responsible for all conditions of health and disease. Discounting the mind's ability to cause and cure pain is the crucial mistake made by both patients and doctors alike.
 
Although the causes of back pain are usually physical, it is important to know that Emotional Stress can play a major role in how severe pain is and how long it lasts.
 
All Emotion lodges in the body. If you understand a little how the Fight or Flight mechanism works, then you will understand how there will be some sort of Muscle Tension and Physical Stress on the body?
 
When our F/F is out of balance, we are in a state of constant readiness. We are stressed, nervous, anxious and tense to some degree, (some more than others). We can be on edge or irritated at the slightest of things and meanwhile it is having a negative effect on our physical well-being.

Psychosomatic Pain (The Mind/Body connection)
 
There is an enormous amount of psychosomatic pain conditions in today's stressful society. Unfortunately the majority of these conditions are often misunderstood by modern medical science.
 
Doctors play an important role in society, but many often view themselves as engineers of the human body and think that the body can be fined tuned like a machine.
 
Of course, the truth is that the body is just part of the complex organism called the human being. The individual is much more than just their physical body. In reality, the human entity is comprised of the body, the mind and the spirit.
 
The essence of being human is not contained in any one of these parts, but instead in the interactions between them.

Physical Causes
  • Injury, wear and tear and the normal ageing process are by far the most common causes of back pain.
  • Poor posture and Slouching
  • Lack of Exercise
  • Bending forward constantly while working (Trades people and Labourers)

 

  • Lifting and carrying loads the wrong way
  • Sleeping on a bad mattress
  • Sitting in a chair that doesn't provide enough back support
  • Standing or bending down for long periods

 

Back Pain Statistics
  • Approximately 80 % of people will have an experience with back pain at some time in their life.
  • Back pain seems to baffle the medical profession and subsequently they often offer drugs and surgery.
  • Approximately 50 percent of all working people suffer back pain symptoms for at least some of the time during any given year.
  • Approximately 30 percent of people have had a back problem in the past five years that has been severe enough for them to seek professional help.

LACK OF CONFIDENCE & LOW SELF ESTEEM

          
Damien's Story
 
"Before Private Subconscious Therapy, I lacked confidence that much, that I used to have a very hard time looking someone in the eye during a conversation.
 
I felt Inferior and Different.
 
I was always putting myself down and talking negatively about anything and everything. I found myself avoiding social occasions because I felt scared of crowds and close contact with people.
 
In my younger days I escaped reality by smoking marijuana and drinking too much alcohol. The alcohol gave me confidence, but only temporarily.
 
Of all people, I was one that shouldn't have touched marijuana, as it only made me more Paranoid and Depressed.
 
But that was all before I had PST.
 
These days, I don't drink much, I don't smoke and I can now easily see other people who have a Low Self Esteem like I used to, and I feel for them. Thanks so much for your help, I feel great.

Greg's Story

 
"I can't believe your therapy actually worked. I thoroughly recommend it.
 
I have noticed definite changes in my Self Confidence. I am handling difficult situations so much easier, whereas before I used to hide behind myself.
 
I used to find it very difficult in social situations, but after PST my Depression has completely resolved, and my Energy levels have risen dramatically.
 
Many thanks for your help.

Many people suffering Lack of Confidence and Low Self Esteem also suffer from;
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Sleep Problems
  • Headaches/Migraines
  • Racing Mind
  • Stress
  • Feelings of Sadness/Hopelessness

  info is from the website www.parentlink.act.gov.au

  • Anger or Fear
  • Lack of Concentration
  • Memory problems
  • Feeling Unwanted
  • Inability to enjoy normal things
  • Not Socialising

 

What is self-esteem ?
  • Self-esteem is about valuing who you are. It is about liking yourself. It is not conceit or boastfulness, but about believing in yourself and what you can do in the world.
  • Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself as a person and knowing that there are things that you can do well.
  • Part of self-esteem is feeling that you have a place in the world where you belong-that you are part of a family where you matter. It is knowing about your roots and having confidence in your future.
    This can be a problem for children who have come from other countries and lost touch with their 'roots'.
    It can also be a problem for children who have been part of a family break-up, if they are split off from part of their family and the history of that part of the family.
  • Self-esteem is about what matters to you. If you want to be good at sport but everyone tells you that you are good at art, it will not help your self-esteem very much. If you get encouragement and help in something you want to do, and you succeed, your self-esteem will grow.

 

Why is self-esteem important ?
  • There is in every culture a basic level of self-esteem that is needed in our family or culture.
  • Self-esteem helps people to feel that they can develop their own skills and contribute to their community.
  • Research suggests that when people have low self-esteem they don't feel confident about doing things for themselves or using their abilities and talents in the best way they can.
  • Low self-esteem is also likely to be linked to worse health outcomes such as stress, coronary heart disease and an increase in anti-social behaviours.

It is important to help develop children's self-esteem from the time they are born to give them a good foundation and help prevent poorer health outcomes for them later in adult life. Children of all cultures need to have a place in the family and need to know they are loved because of the special people they are.

Bi-Polar Resolved (Manic Depressive illness) (Click Here to see the video of Bron's Story)

Damien's Story
 

30 years of Depression Resolved
 
"When I was 8, my parents split up, and I think that was the cause of my Depression.
 
I remember feeling unloved, so lonely and insecure and too many moments of sadness. Through life, I vented out my built up anger on the people I cared for and even my work colleagues, and for no reason.
 
I found comfort in escaping and listening to music from an early age and later on in life, I got into drugs and alcohol which I now know was just another way of escaping from reality.
 
My last really bad bout of Depression was at my sisters 40th birthday, a celebration with all of my family whom are all very close. Everybody was having a ball but I was just putting on a brave face for my sister. I felt like dying that night....... I had nearly given up hope.
 
Thankfully I came across Private Subconscious Therapy soon after, which has turned my life around. I just don't get that down anymore.
 
Sure I still get a bit stressed with the bills coming in, and experience a bit of a demanding life because I'm raising a family, but I can handle the bumps in the road better. I'm thinking clearer and good things just happen to me now. Thanks PST

DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS          

How the imbalance of the Fight or Flight system causes digestive problems

When our Fight or Flight mechanism is permanently and partially out of balance, the Digestive System along with the Immune System, aren't working to anywhere near their full capacities. Energy is drawn away from these organs to energise the muscles in readiness for a Fight or Flight. Private Subconscious Therapy rebalances the Fight and Flight system, (the Autonomic Nervous System) which in turn eases any digestive problems that may be present. The Emotional Cause is resolved, so the symptoms fade away.

Causes of Digestive Problems
 
(Remember, With PST you don't have to know what the cause is, to get better)
 
Stresses of all kinds, physical, emotional and mental, are primary causes of poor digestion.

  • Poor Diet
  • Unresolved Emotions
  • Stress
  • Muscle Tension
  • Anxiety
  • Excessive Drug and Alcohol use
  • Fight/Flight Imbalance

 
Some Digestive Problems

  • Constipation
  • Irritable Bowell Syndrome
  • Diarrhea
  • Bloating
  • Gas
  • Crohn's Disease
  • Ulcerative Colitis
  • Bad Breath

 
Bowel Movement Problems
 

Constipation is passage of only small amounts of hard, dry stools, usually fewer than three times a week. People who are constipated may find it difficult and painful to have a bowel movement. Other symptoms of constipation include feeling bloated, uncomfortable, and sluggish.
 
 
Diarrhea

Loose, watery stools occurring more than three times in one day - is a common problem that usually lasts a day or two and goes away on its own without any special treatment. However, prolonged diarrhea can be a sign of other problems. Diarrhea can cause dehydration, which means the body lacks enough fluid to function properly. Dehydration is particularly dangerous in children and the elderly, and it must be treated promptly to avoid serious health problems.
 
 
Colostomy
 

Some diseases, such as bowel cancer, may require the surgical removal of diseased portions of bowel. The bowel may have to be rerouted through an artificially created hole in the abdomen so that faeces can still leave the body. This hole is called a stoma. A colostomy is an operation that connects the colon to the abdominal wall, while an ileostomy connects the last part of the small intestine (ileum) to the abdominal wall. The stoma may be permanent in the case of bowel cancer or serious injury, or it can be a temporary measure while the bowel recovers from events such as infection, inflammation or stab wounds.
 
Some of the conditions that may require colostomy or ileostomy include: Bowel infections, Bowel inflammation, Diverticulitis, Crohn's disease, Ulcerative colitis, Blocked bowel, Bowel cancer, Familial adenomatous polyposis (a precancerous condition) or serious injury to the bowel.
 
Constipation
 
Constipation is the passing of hard, dry stools. The most common causes of constipation include a change in routine, not enough fibre in the daily diet, not enough fluids and lack of exercise. In some cases, constipation is caused by more serious illnesses and events, including tumours and systemic diseases.
 
Bad Breath
 
Bad Breath isn't caused by lack of teeth cleaning alone.
If a person's digestive system is constipated, the food waste isn't passed when it should be, which can in turn create an odour from the mouth.
 


The cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome is unknown,
but Private Subconscious Therapy has helped many people
By resolving the Emotional Cause.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome
 
Around one in five Australians experiences the unpleasant symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) at some time. These include abdominal pain, mucus in the stools, and alternating diarrhoea and constipation. Other terms for irritable bowel syndrome include 'spastic colon' and 'irritable colon'. It seems that people with IBS have sensitive bowels that are easily 'upset'. More women than men are prone to IBS, and symptoms tend to first occur in early adulthood.
 
Environmental factors such as changes of routine, emotional stress, infection and diet can trigger an attack. Research has shown that the neurotransmitter serotonin may be important in the symptoms of IBS, by altering the function of nerve cells in the bowel and causing changes in pain sensation and bowel function.
 
 
Symptoms of IBS
 
Some of the more common signs of irritable bowel syndrome include:

  • Abdominal pain or cramping that is often relieved by passing wind or faeces
  • Alternating diarhoea and constipation
  • A sensation that the bowels are not fully emptied after passing a motion
  • Abdominal bloating
  • Mucus present in the stools
  • Nausea

 
Main IBS categories
 
Irritable bowel syndrome can be subdivided into three major categories:

  • Constipation-predominant - the person tends to alternate constipation with normal stools. Symptoms of abdominal cramping or aching are commonly triggered by eating.
  • Diarrhea-predominant - the person tends to experience diarrhea first thing in the morning or after eating. The need to go to the toilet is typically urgent and cannot be delayed. Incontinence may be a problem.
  • Alternating constipation and diarrhea.

Faecal Incontinence
 
People with faecal incontinence have difficulty controlling their bowel. Faecal incontinence affects as many as one in 100 people. It is more common as you get older, but a lot of younger people are also affected. There are many different causes and the condition should be investigated by your doctor.
 
 
Crohn's Disease
 
Crohn's disease is an ongoing disorder that causes inflammation of the digestive tract, also referred to as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Crohn's disease can affect any area of the GI tract, from the mouth to the anus, but it most commonly affects the lower part of the small intestine, called the ileum. The swelling extends deep into the lining of the affected organ. The swelling can cause pain and can make the intestines empty frequently, resulting in diarrhea.
 
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease, the general name for diseases that cause swelling in the intestines. Because the symptoms of Crohn's disease are similar to other intestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis, it can be difficult to diagnose. Ulcerative colitis causes inflammation and ulcers in the top layer of the lining of the large intestine. In Crohn's disease, all layers of the intestine may be involved, and normal healthy bowel can be found between sections of diseased bowel.
 
Crohn's disease affects men and women equally and seems to run in some families. About 20 percent of people with Crohn's disease have a blood relative with some form of inflammatory bowel disease, most often a brother or sister and sometimes a parent or child. Crohn's disease can occur in people of all age groups, but it is more often diagnosed in people between the ages of 20 and 30.
 
People of Jewish heritage have an increased risk of developing Crohn's disease, and African Americans are at decreased risk for developing Crohn's disease.

LOW ENERGY & FATIGUE
          

Gaining Your Energy Back
 
The three most common things that people gain after their Private Subconscious Therapy treatment are Calmness, Concentration and More Energy.
 
They have more energy because their Fight or Flight mechanism has been rebalanced, and Homeostasis has returned. When an imbalance is present, energy is almost constantly being used up by means of Anxiety, Anger, Irritability, Headaches and Lack of Sleep, to name a few. It's not a wonder people can often feel tired.
Have a look at the symptoms below and if you find yourself experiencing a few of them, there is a very strong chance that your F/F is out of balance.

Jane's Story

Jane had Private Subconscious Therapy because she was holding onto some Emotional Stresses from her youth.
 
She didn't go into detail because she felt uncomfortable talking about it and he didn't have to, because PST respects the client's privacy.
 
Her physical problems such as Muscle Tension and Teeth Grinding were using up valuable energy. After PST she had this to say.
 
"I have had lots of improvements since my 3rd session. My Muscle Tension & Teeth Grinding are gone.
 
My biggest concern was in the area of Disturbing Dreams which have nearly vanished completely.
 
I now have More Energy than I used to and my concentration and headaches have improved significantly. Thank you
."
 
Jane, Ingham.

Greg's Story
 

"I can't believe your therapy actually worked.
 
I thoroughly recommend it.
 
I have noticed definite changes in my Self Confidence.
 
I am handling difficult situations so much easier whereas before I used to hide behind myself.
 
My Depression has completely resolved and my Energy levels risen dramatically.
 
Many thanks for your help
."

Causes of Low Energy and Fatigue (Remember, With PST you don't have to know what the cause is, to get better)

  • Anxiety
  • Stress (Physical, Mental & Emotional)
  • Anger
  • Irritability
  • Racing Mind
  • Sleep problems
  • Muscle Tension
  • Poor Diet
  • Workaholic Behavior
  • Lack of Exercise
  • Lack of Concentration
  • Creativity Blocks (Sexual, Artistic, Study, Sport)
  • Memory problems
  • Eye Strain
  • Depression
  • Back, Neck or Shoulder Pain
  • Smoking/ Excess Alcohol

These discomforts use up Energy, but once the Fight/Flight system has been rebalanced by resolving the Emotional Cause, negative feelings fade away. More energy is gained and people don't feel as tired, because their Subconscious Mind isn't constantly trying to put them back into balance all the time.

The Fight or Flight System
          


  
Diagram of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)

What is the Fight or Flight ?
 
The "fight or flight response" is our body's primitive and automatic, inborn response. It prepares the body to "fight" or "flee" from what we perceive as attack, harm or threat to our survival.
 
Whether we experience excessive stress, from internal worry or external circumstance, our "fight or flight" response is triggered. This response is hard-wired into our brains and represents a genetic wisdom designed to protect us from bodily harm. This response actually corresponds to an area of our brain called the hypothalamus, which-when stimulated-initiates a sequence of nerve cell firing and chemical release, that prepares our body for running or fighting.
 
 
"Homeostasis" is the name given to the Balanced State of our Fight or Flight system.
 
 
How the Fight or Flight system works
 
When we experience a Threat, Fear or Stress:
     The Sympathetic division of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) reacts and;

  • The brain uses Nerve pathways to initiate reactions in the body
  • Heart rate accelerates
  • Blood Pressure increases
  • Blood vessels are constricted
  • Breathing becomes heavier
  • Blood supply to the Skin is dampened
  • Salivary Glands produces less saliva
  • Kidney decreases urine secretion
  • Pupils dilate to take in as much light as possible
  • Blood is sent away from the gut, causing Muscle Tension in preparation for physical exertion
  • This inhibits the Digestive System

 

  • Perspiration increases
  • The adrenal glands flood the body with Stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol
  • The Immune System is cut right down
  • Bladder relaxes and the Sphincter is closed
  • The Mind races
  • Liver produces more glucose
  • There is Trouble Focusing on small tasks (the brain is directed to focus only on the big picture in order to determine where the threat is coming from) There is a lack of focused Concentration

 

Do you have any trouble with the above physical Symptoms ?
 
When the Fight or Flight is active, there is a huge Chemical, Energy and Physical imbalance in the body, but this is appropriate for the particular time. Then, once the threat or stress has gone, the Para-Sympathetic division of the ANS reacts and rebalances the F/F system (along with all the organs affected) and brings us back to Homeostasis.

However, sometimes the Subconscious perceives that there is still a threat there, whether it's minor or major, so there can then be a permanent and partial imbalance on the Fight or Flight, causing physical symptoms and discomforts in the body, such as the organs listed above.

Feelings that can occur when the Fight or Flight is active
  • Fear
  • Anxiety
  • Nervousness
  • Anger
  • Rage
  • Unworthiness
  • Hurt

 

  • Lack of Trust
  • Aggression
  • Jealousy
  • Sadness
  • Guilt
  • Insecurity
  • Abandonment

 

  • Lack of Confidence
  • Loss of Love
  • Betrayal
  • Rejection
  • Loneliness

 

Many of these Feelings and physical Symptoms can still be present
when there is a partial imbalance on the Fight or Flight system.

The good news is, because these uncomfortable feelings were a learnt response, they can be re-learnt.
And this is exactly what PST does.

HEADACHES/MIGRAINES

Are your Headaches a Physical or Emotional Origin ?
 
Private Subconscious Therapists believes that many people's Migraines and Headaches are of an Emotional cause. Once the Fight or Flight system has been rebalanced by resolving the Unresolved Emotion, a calmer outlook is gained, which in turn eases discomforts such as a Racing Mind, Irritability and Anger. This in turn lessens the likelihood of Headaches and Migraines occurring because the Subconscious isn't constantly trying to rebalance the F/F as it was before.

Current Statistics on Pain
 
An MBF Foundation study revealed that the annual cost of pain is a massive $34.3 billion per annum in Australia. This is nearly $11,000 for each of the estimated 3.2 million people that have to deal with almost daily persistent pain.
 
The study also found that people with persistent pain have to bear more than half of the costs burden themselves.
It also suggested that a big chunk of the $7 billion spent directly by the health system could be saved if pain was better managed.
 
One of the conditions that cause people to suffer persistent pain is recurrent Headache, and especially Migraine.

RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS          

Negative Relationship Patterns
 
Approximately half of the clients, who have Private Subconscious Therapy, are experiencing relationship concerns of some sort. The problems are either with family members, friends, work associates or people in positions of authority. Holding grudges isn't healthy, but many people do it. Sometimes even subconsciously and without consciously being aware of it, we can hold on to ill feelings from the past. We think we have forgiven, but we haven't really dealt with it on an inner level.
 
There are also people who are unable to see that, they themselves are the problem in a relationship, and blame everybody else for the negative things in their life.
 
Trevor had PST for his Sleep Deprivation after he saw the fantastic changes in his wife Bron who was suffering from Bi-Polar. Click on the links above to see how the changes from PST affected their relationship and their kids.

John's story
 
John was strong enough to recognize that he was the main reason behind his relationship problems in his marriage.
 
He had Private Subconscious Therapy to resolve his "Aggression " and "Fowl Mouth" and to save his marriage. He was carrying around a lot of built up Anger, and amongst other discomforts was also suffering from Depression .
 
Four months after his PST treatment, he dropped in to the office and he brought some photos of a brumby horse that he had broken in.
 
He was so proud, as he told the story about how he broke in the wild horse in such a short amount of time compared to what he used to. He explained how he felt so much calmer and knew that the horse felt his calmness too.
 
On the health side of things, his Diabetes and Ulcers and Back Pain also significantly improved.

Shaun's Story
 
Shaun was suffering from severe Depression until it was resolved through Private Subconscious Therapy.
 
His partner saw such a dramatic change in him, and then came herself for her Low Confidence , Anxiety and Skin Problems. It wasn't long before her sister, mother and brother-in-law had booked in for PST.
 
"Things are going quite well for both Shaun and I since we had the therapy.
 
PST was the first true step forward for Shaun's recovery from Depression .
 
He has More Energy and enthusiasm for life.
 
As for me, I am no longer fearful of having a Panic Attack .
 
Thank you for the role you have played in turning our life around
."

Couple Therapy

It's easy for one side of the relationship to see their partner suffering certain discomforts, but the hard part is for the sufferer to admit they have a problem. Once they have done this, they are well on their road to recovery. Unfortunately many people take their problems with them to the grave.
 
If your partner is suffering emotional problems in some way, and you want them to get help, a good way to approach it is to suggest couple therapy, instead of directly saying to them that they "Need Help!" Call Resolve PST for a chat. It's always easier for a professional to assess what needs to be done and to suggest something.
 
The partner of a PST client often comes for treatment, after noticing the Calmness and health benefits that their "Other half" has gained.

The individual who has PST isn't the only person who benefits.
Friends, work colleagues and loved ones are also affected.

SLEEP PROBLEMS          

Getting a good night's sleep

It's hard to get a good night's sleep, if your Fight or Flight mechanism is out of balance.
Stress and Sleep Deprivation affects our day to day focus and performance.
 
Many people who suffer from High Stress levels, Anxiety or Depression are prone to sleep problems, often going to bed, but unable to relax because of a Racing Mind.
 
Unfortunately 95% of people with Sleep Disorders remain undiagnosed and untreated. A Racing Mind, Sleep Problems and Headaches can be a strong sign that your Subconscious Mind is trying, constantly to put your F/F back into balance (Homeostasis).

Trevor's Story
 
Trevor came for PST after he noticed the changes in his wife.
 
He had a rough childhood, and it's not a wonder that he was holding onto some uncomfortable feelings such as built-up Anger and Irritability.
 
Amazingly, he was getting by on only 3 to 4 hours sleep per night before PST.
