Rich Clark Subconscious & Inner Change Where insight becomes integration.

What if your anxiety isn't just overthinking?

You may understand perfectly well that you're safe — while another part of your mind continues behaving as though something is wrong.

“That's just who I am.”

But what if it isn't?

A conversation about what you've been experiencing and whether my approach may be appropriate for you.

You understand it. But knowing doesn't always change it.

You replay conversations.

You know you're probably overthinking them — but the mind keeps returning to what was said, what you should have said, or what somebody might have meant.

You anticipate problems.

Things that haven't happened yet can occupy as much emotional space as things that are actually happening now.

You tell yourself to relax.

Your conscious mind understands the instruction. Your body does not necessarily follow it.

You get reassurance.

For a while you may feel better — until another question, possibility or uncertainty takes its place.

You make the decision.

Then you start wondering whether you've made the wrong one.

You start calling it “me.”

When a response has been present for long enough, it can begin to feel less like a pattern and more like a personality.

This can be one of the most frustrating aspects of anxiety: your conscious understanding and your automatic emotional response don't always seem to agree.

You consciously know:

“I'm safe.”

But another part of you responds: “Something might go wrong.”

You consciously decide:

“I'm not going to worry about this anymore.”

But your attention immediately begins searching for the next possible problem.

Conscious understanding matters. But sometimes there is something else worth understanding too.

What might be happening underneath?

My work doesn't begin by assuming that anxiety is simply an irrational thought that needs correcting.

Instead, I'm interested in the patterns underneath the reaction.

What is the reaction trying to accomplish?

What has your mind learned to anticipate?

What beliefs or emotional associations may be operating automatically?

When might those patterns have developed?

And are they still serving you now?

Sometimes a response that makes little sense in the present becomes more understandable when we explore what the subconscious mind may have learned to protect us from.

The aim isn't to fight your mind. It's to understand the pattern well enough for change to become possible.

How I work

We don't assume the answer. We find out.

I'm Rich Clark, a hypnotherapist working with subconscious and inner change.

My approach combines therapeutic conversation with subconscious work to explore patterns beneath the presenting problem.

That might include beliefs, emotional associations, learned responses, protective behaviours or experiences from earlier periods of life.

Rather than deciding beforehand what your anxiety “must” mean, we explore your individual experience.

Sometimes the connection is obvious. Sometimes it isn't.

We don't assume the answer. We find out.

Is this approach likely to suit you?

Part of a consultation is deciding whether working together actually makes sense. I would rather be clear about that than try to make therapy sound appropriate for everybody.

This may be for you if…

  • Your reactions sometimes seem stronger than the present situation warrants.
  • You've tried reasoning with yourself, but the same patterns keep returning.
  • You're curious about what may be happening underneath the anxiety rather than only suppressing the symptoms.
  • You're prepared to explore your experiences and actively engage with therapeutic work.

It may not be for you if…

  • You're looking for an instant cure.
  • You want a guaranteed outcome.
  • You're looking for one technique that is supposed to work for everybody.
  • You want somebody else to do the work of change for you.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a branch off Hypnotherapy that identifies and focuses on changing your negative or unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours.  The idea is that thoughts, feelings and our current behaviours are interrelated. The CBT therapy helps  

  • Detect negative or distorted thinking patterns that cause you distress when triggered. 
  • Develop solving skills for your problems that come up in difficult situations
  • You learn coping strategies for practical use
  • You create achievable goals with work towards them 

 

CBT is effective for conditions you suffer or feel debilitated with like anxiety, depression, PTSD, fears and phobias as it creates tools and strategies that you will use between sessions and after therapy sessions.  

It has a more structured focus on goal setting and achievement than talk therapy alone such as life coaching etc.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis: I guide you into a relaxed safe space online into a mind trance state which allows suggestibility and to become more receptive to suggestions implanted within your subconscious mind.

The subconscious is 5% of the mind but controls 95% of the conscious mind. 

This in turn via the Hypnosis sessions alters your mind to the outcome of actions outside of the trance state, by reframing or reprogramming the triggers of clients with issues such as Anxiety, Motivation, Depression, Negative Thought patterns, Relationships etc. 

During my Hypnosis sessions I guide you into a trance-like state while you are always still maintaining full awareness. You always will remain in control and cannot be made to do things against your will.  

In this state you become open and aware of your thoughts, memories, regressions which then I help with guidance get reframed or reprogrammed so now you are now not triggered by issues while out of trance state in your day to day lives.
