Welcome to Peak States Therapies Ltd and the Silent Mind Technique™

Peak States Therapies Ltd is the clinical arm of the Canadian based Institute for the Study of Peak States (ISPS). While investigating the relationship between positive states of mental health and trauma, ISPS discovered the underlying cause of voice hearing in schizophrenia sufferers and obsessive thoughts in the general population. We are now offering the Silent Mind Technique™ at our offices in Scotland to voice hearers who wish to rid themselves of this debilitating problem. We are also working to introduce it to health services around the world.

Research in recent years has increasingly pointed to the key role of prenatal stress factors in increasing the risk of schizophrenia. It had been assumed, however, that these were impossible to address as the brain's development must have been affected in some irreparable way and that in any case this was just one contributing factor. What Grant McFetridge at ISPS has discovered is that in essence the voice-hearing component of this condition is a prenatal post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that can be successfully treated with non-drug trauma healing methods. Consequently, he and the ISPS research team have developed the Silent Mind Technique™ - a range of psychotherapeutic procedures that heal developmental traumas and thereby greatly reduce or eliminate voices entirely. This can also lead to a reduction in other symptoms associated with schizophrenia such as paranoia.

What is fascinating about this discovery is that almost everybody has the problem - fortunately most people have a suppression mechanism that reduces the ‘voices’ to the level of distracting thoughts. The Silent Mind Technique™, while being of particular benefit to voice hearers, can therefore also be of benefit to the general population. This is ground-breaking work and promises a revolution in the treatment of schizophrenia and obsessive thoughts. Our aim is to bring this discovery to the world as soon as possible by training health care professionals in these techniques. Until this is accomplished and the methodology more widely accepted, we are offering the treatment on a charge for results basis.

We are happy to demonstrate the effectiveness of our treatment to researchers, medical practitioners and anybody else interested in assessing the methodology and helping to get this introduced into health services as soon as possible. For the 1% of people diagnosed with schizophrenia this is an imperative. Please note, we are only addressing the voice-hearing component of schizophrenia with our methods and while this can help with other aspects of the condition it does not necessarily treat the range of other symptoms attributed to the disease.

We are also investigating the role of prenatal trauma in other conditions such as autism, multiple sclerosis and addictions.
