Potential Hazards

The Silent Mind Technique™ is a non-invasive, non-drug, trauma healing method. However, a number of complications can occur during the treatment and you need to be prepared for them in case they arise.

1. Negative feelings when "new" voices/thoughts arise between sessions. Most people have between 10 and 25 voices although they are often only aware of a few of them (non voice hearers have the same amount as voice hearers - they are just not aware of them). We start by eliminating the voices that you are aware of but it is a bit like getting rid of the rowdy drunks from a bar. Once they are gone, you notice the quieter ones you were not aware of before. Consequently, seemingly "new" voices can arise between sessions and feelings of despair can accompany them if you are not prepared ahead of time.

2. Feelings of loss once the voices have gone. At a deep, subconscious level, we feel we need the voices in order to survive. Once the voices have gone, feelings of loss can sometimes arise. We can usually deal with this related trauma very quickly.

3. Change in relationships. The same prenatal trauma that causes voices also causes dysfunctional attraction both to friends and partners. Once the underlying trauma is healed, the dysfunctional element in people's relationship may disappear. This can sometimes be disturbing for clients and/or their partners. We have a range of techniques to help clients deal with this if should it arise.
However, we cannot guarantee that your relationships and the way you view the world will not change as a result of this treatment.

4. Feeling tired, 'spacey' or very peaceful after a session.
After a session, clients sometimes report feeling tired, 'spacey' or very peaceful. This is a consequence of healing deep trauma. It is good therefore not to plan to rush away after a session. Ideally it is best to take a few minutes after the session to relax and re-adjust after the treatment before heading off.
