Addressing underlying cause vs. symptom
Our society is built around the idea of treating symptoms. This is good for some doctors and drug companies, but it’s bad for society as a whole, because it costs a lot of money. So many people are still unhappy and sick because of this. Even after many trips to the doctor or therapist, diets, medications, and a lot of wasted willpower, they can’t get better.
Almost all of our clients’ emotional or behavioral problems, such as anxiety, grief, panic, and unwanted habits, are just signs and symptoms of a deeper problem that has been ignored. Many of these good people were frustrated by trying different ways to improve their life, from self-help books and prayer to talk therapists and doctors. Some of them even gave up, since nothing they did made a difference for very long. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be so hard.
As professional hypnotists, we have a very simple philosophy: when we fix the real problem, the symptoms go away faster and easier than most people think is possible.
Treating symptoms is like trimming weeds. A lot of the time, the real problem is an unhealthy belief or way of thinking that leads to bad feelings and actions. Focusing on the symptoms may help you feel better for a short time, but the weeds keep growing back. Unless you deal with the cause, you remain dependent on the treatment.
Once you change how you think, you feel better and do better.
Why keep trimming your mental “weeds” when you can eliminate them completely? We can help you finally overcome your stubborn issues.
We are not licensed mental health practitioners, therapists, or psychologists and do not conduct psychotherapy. You may read our scope of practice and hypnotism services here.
