Our area of specialty and uniqueness is in assessing and remedying the EMOTIONAL COMPONENT of an illness or ailment.
Why is the emotional component so important to address, and why have we decided to specialise in this area?
Harvard Medical School published research in The Lancet Medical Journal in 2005, together with The American Centres for Disease Control, in which they stated that up to 85% of ailments are stress- or emotion-induced and maintained. Shortly after this research was published, The American Institute of Stress confirmed their findings that indeed this figure was closer to 90%.
A non-specific diagnosis can only command a non-specific solution.
‘Stress’ is a convenient catch-all label which unfortunately gives no specific clues as to where treatment should be targeted. Our work at THE Clinic is the result of decades of work in the field of the mind-body connection by a collection of leaders in this field, formally known as psycho-neuro-immunology.
Distilling and thoroughly testing much of what has been reported, we at THE Clinic are certain that the answer to remedying a major part of any illness – mental, emotional or physical – lies in the dissolution of the major protagonist, i.e. the (mostly unconscious) stress and emotions present at the time of shock, trauma, conflict, negativity or stress emerged. In many cases, it is the ongoing stress and emotional conflict that incubates and intensifies physical and psychological illness. In dealing with the stress and emotional conflict, we are dealing with the very thing that supports and maintains the symptoms.
Emotional health and stress are getting more and more ‘air time’ within the medical profession.
The wider medical community are now embracing this long-ignored aspect of the cause of illness, with many leading Doctors and Specialists embracing the philosophy, science and practise of what is available through THE Clinic. We train, align and partner with other health professionals and organisations who appreciate and are keen to provide their clients, patients and members with an integrated, holistic approach to health and wellbeing, one that places appropriate importance on the role emotions play in health.
To this end, we work to educate, inform and guide patients away from illness and towards wellness, our definition of wellness being based on, but not limited to, enjoying a sense of peace, purpose, balance and authenticity in oneself. Living ones life from this perspective makes for more possible and is what most of us are longing to experience at the deepest level of our being.
We major in facilitating and helping individuals with all manner of ailments, illness, conditions, symptoms and dis-ease to experience a renewed sense of wellbeing on a mental, physical, emotional and spiritual level; this is what we do.
A different, private approach that is achieving permanent results.
We rarely, if at all, use labels; our approach to treating physiological and psychological illness is drug-, touch- and supplement-free. There is no requirement to become emotional, to re-visit or re-live uncomfortable life events; there is no need to re-visit ones childhood or have a discussion with any close family members. Our methodology allows our patients to create meaningful and lasting change in the privacy of their own minds and hearts – the very places where the underlying disharmony resides.
