WELLBEING SILENT COUNSELLING

Beautiful healing without words. It's a simple soothing method that does not require people to talk about past traumas. It's very effective for helping with a full range of problems.

Silent Counselling was developed in Scotland by two energy psychologists, Marjorie and John Cooper. When a young woman came into their clinic in Dundee, who was so badly traumatised by the events of her life that she was not able to speak, she could only stammer and croak.

She had been sexually abused and prostituted from the age of 5 and in her teens, she'd turned to drugs and alcohol. By the time she was 18 and turned up in the clinic, she was also familiar with prison, but couldn't talk about any of it.

As they listened and tried to understand the small sounds that she was making, they decided to try muscle testing with her. They paired it with their knowledge of bio-energetic feedback - a little-known technique to get simple yes/no answers to closed questions, where the response is felt in the body.

They were shocked as they started to feel her able to release some of her negative emotions in that session.

This is where silent counselling was born, out of an urgent need to help her where no existing methods could reach.

It's so powerful you can get to the root cause to release any negative emotions that keep pulling you back, even ones where you don't remember the cause or can't consciously identify it. Blocked energy is released and restored to a balance flow through touch and deep breathing techniques.

Silent counselling gets truly incredible results very quickly you will be amazed.

Suzy at Rejuvenation Station has recently qualified in Silent Counselling and is already delighted with the results she is seeing for her clients. She had been aware of the results other practitioners were getting. She said “It is amazing, it’s helped people that had been going to counsellors and been on medication for years and not getting any better and feel they still deal with their trauma. After a few sessions they feel a big weight has been lifted as they have been able to get to the root cause and then been able to heal and move on from it. It’s also helped people that have suffered with pain for years and also addictions.”

Silent counselling can offer support for all sorts of issues from phobias of spiders or flying to trauma, grief and anxiety problems.

Suzy is available to visit you at home, arrange a private venue or even arrange a video call.

HYPNOBIRTHING Do you think you can influence your baby’s birth? Have you adopted an attitude of whatever will be will be, or are you determined to control every aspect and have a whole plan mapped out in your head?

Would it surprise you to know that you can massively influence your baby’s birth no matter what type of birth you have on the day? Birth planning is less about regimented control, and a lot more about preparing your mind and body. The process of planning helps you consider what is (or is not) important to you and gives you valuable information so that you’re able to discuss your options on the day.

You have options; this often comes as a surprise to many women, particularly second time mums who simply ‘did as they were told’ first time round. When you feel knowledgeable enough (you don’t have to be an expert!) to chat to your midwife or consultant you’ll feel far more involved and empowered in your baby’s birth. It’s your body, your baby, your birth.

In hypnobirthing we use the acronym BRAINS to help you navigate the right birth path for you and your baby.

B – Benefits. What are the benefits of a specific course of action for you and your baby?

R – Risks. What are the risks to you and your baby? A – Alternatives. What are the alternatives? What other options are there?

I – Instinct and intuition. How do you feel? What does your gut tell you?

N – Nothing. What would happen if you did nothing at all and just waited?

S – Smile. I suggest a smile because it helps foster an attitude of collaboration. Many women experience calm, relaxed births and when you smile you flood your body with feel good hormones that support greater physical and emotional comfort.

Using your BRAINS is not about confrontation, it’s about feeling empowered enough to make the right decision based on the facts and how you feel. The ‘do nothing’ part often confuses people, surely if medical intervention or assistance is being suggested there is ‘always’ a need? Not necessarily; sometimes options are presented to help speed up the birth, but if you and your baby are both doing well why would it need to be accelerated?

Plenty to think about!

In a world that’s all about speed and efficiency remember that you only get to birth this baby once, and you have choices! Wishing you the best birth possible!
