Mind Body Medicine
What is Mind Body Medicine?
How does mind/ body medicine work?
Your thoughts, emotions, and past traumas are intimately involved with what happens within your physical body.
How can this be? Think of a lemon. In your mind, see, smell and taste the lemon, then notice what happens. Does your mouth start to water? Do you pucker just a bit?
If you really like lemons, you may perceive this as a pleasant experience, think about how good your morning lemon water makes you feel, and you may again feel that sensation in your body.
If you dislike lemons, this may be an unpleasant experience, and you may even think back to the time your older cousin made you eat a whole lemon or else…
As you have life experiences, those that are accompanied by intense emotions are the ones that you remember most. However, even those you don’t consciously remember may get encoded in the chemistry of your body. Each time something approximates the feeling of the experience, your body responds the same way, and patterns are formed. Some of these patterns are helpful and make it easier to go through daily life, but others may actually block the ability to move forward in life, get what you want, or recover from an illness.
Studies have shown that the more negative experiences you have during the first eighteen years of life (Adverse Childhood Events, or ACEs), the more likely you are to have mental health problems like anxiety, depression, and post traumatic stress disorder. This isn’t too surprising. However, researchers discovered that there was also an increase in physical disorders, including autoimmune illness, headaches, fibromyalgia, sleep disorders, and possibly some cancers.
Techniques used in Mind Body Medicine
Might you have “issues in your tissues” and if so, is there anything you can do about it?
The answer is a definite YES! Energy psychology is an emerging field that focuses on the relationship between bioenergy systems, neuro and electro physiological processes, and mental functions involving thoughts, emotions, sensations, and behavior. Energy psychology focuses on what you want, not what happened in the past, and helps clear out some of the blocks to healing. Think of it as getting the bugs out of your biocomputer.
- Neuromodulation Technique (NMT) – uses a series of scripts, called pathways, to identify and correct misinformation in the autonomic nervous system that is contributing to illness. It is great for chronic issues and allergies.
- Abundance Alignment Technique – define and align yourself to the frequency of what you want to accomplish. It’s like tuning to the radio station that’s broadcasting your favorite song.
- Thought Field Therapy – the original tapping technique. Highly effective for anxiety, phobias, anger issues and single traumas
- EVOX – Perception Reframing. A computer aided voice recognition technology that allows you to look at old issues in a different light. Perception is everything, if you will recall the lemon analogy.
- PSYCH-K – repatterns the erroneous beliefs about yourself that may keep you from moving forward in life.
These techniques aren’t invasive, and you only have to discuss what you are comfortable with, since what we are looking for in a session isn’t necessarily what happened, but how you want to feel instead. These techniques are not a substitute for regular psychotherapy and Dr. Coker is not a psychologist.
