Firstly the term "symptom" is used here to describe any challenge you are experiencing that is in contrast to what you want. Symptoms are often also called dysfunctions. Symptoms can range from behavioural problems, to anxiety, distress, depression or psychosomatic ailments. The form they take is as varied and individual as people themselvse. However, they all function based on the same rules. Most functional symptoms occur because of Fixed Ideas or Core Beliefs held in our Subconscious mind. These Core Beliefs are in essence pockets of Energy that fuel or drive a particular symptom or behaviour.

These Core Beliefs are mostly untrue; but like “knowings” they feel, really, real. So we don't notice their presence except through the presence of symptoms that of course are contrary to the state of wellbeing that we desire!  

Let me explain further. I mention "knowing" above because this is in stark contrast to "believing" something; in that a "knowing" is based on something factual and a "belief" can be totally untrue.  A “knowing” is something factual like knowing what hot is or that gravity keeps us on the ground.  A typical fixed idea or belief is not factual. For example “ I am not good with names” is a beleif held by many. People believe this therefore they have the experience of being "not good with names". This does not mean that they were born with a gene for "bad with names" and that they cannot be indeed very good with names!!!

Mostly, we are unaware of the existence of negating beliefs. Thus, we can feel overwhelmed, out of control & fearful or just at odds with ourselves . This is natural because we don’t know consciously what is really going on!  The thing which breeds most fear in humans is often this, "not understanding”. When we are feeling, acting  out, or experiencing  things in a manner that is “not what we want” but “seems out of our control“, then we are “suffering from the existence of  negative fixed-ideas or beleifs and the powerful effects of their energy-force.”  

Through Clincal Hypnosis we can discover these beleifs and using Transforming Therapy any fixed ideas that are driving unwanted behaviours, anxiety states and symptoms can be either radically weakened or totally eliminated.

These pockets of energy in our psyche remain until they are discovered and transformed. They can have a significant and distressing effect on us. But negative fixed ideas/ beleifs CAN BE CHANGED FOR THE BETTER, unlike factual realitys like the fact that “gravity keeps us on the ground”!.
