Why I do this

My name is Philip Western.

I came to somatics and hypnotherapy after a serious illness left me bedridden. It turned out to be ME-CFS – an incurable fatigue disorder.

I say “incurable” because that’s what the doctor told me, he said “learn to live with this, because there’s nothing you can do. Oh, and don’t bother trying any of those alternative therapies, because they’re all just selling snake oil.”

When people in white coats tell you it’s all over – it has a pretty strong nocebo affect (the negative version of a placebo) – and I got much worse for a while.

Eventually I decided I wasn’t going down without a fight, so I tried every alternative therapy out there – suspending my rational, critical instinct almost completely.

I tried every supplement, every type of meditiation, every cutting-edge new technique.

To my surprise, a lot of that stuff worked. But the standout therapies for me were hypnotherapy and somatic experiencing.

I then started using these techniques to help others with serious fatigue, and they got great results too.

That led me to think: “if hypnotherapy and somatics can help people who are this ill, what could it do for the rest of the world – those suffering with anxiety, depression, addictions, insomnia, gut disorders, pain etc.

It turned out to be wildly, almost unbelievably effective. The kind of effective that is actually hard to accept until you’ve seen it, which is why I’ve started building a library of video testimonials. I say “started” because unfortunately a lot of problems are personal and not everyone is willing to go public.

So if you’ve read this far down, you’ve likely got something making your life worse, whether physical or mental, and you’re wondering if this can help.

I’ve taken the doubt out of this process by creating a free discovery chat – so you can see if this is for you.

The one thing I can say is that this process has blown a lot of people’s minds – so don’t let your scepticism hold you back. If I had let my scepticism win out, I’d still be stuck in bed 24/7.
