How the effects of a trauma that lasted a life time could be cleared in minutes…The Hudson Mind Proc
I recently met with a gentleman for his first session; he came along with the aim of resolving a continuous swirl of negative emotions, an ongoing feeling of anxiety – reported by him as an increased heart rate, sweating and feelings of panic, difficulty sleeping and low energy levels.
This gentleman was not aware of the cause of his symptoms, however he been searching through the latest literature and research in order to better understand what was happening to him. Despite having reservations about what would actually help, he knew that he would keep searching until he found his answer.
After a telephone call to discuss how a session works, we arranged to have a consultation on Skype where I offered to help him work on his symptoms.
In the session I guided him through the Hudson Mind Process© (HMP). By this I mean I helped him to learn how his mind works, how to identify the language patterns that can cause or compound dis-ease, and how to change them in a way which leads him towards a more resourceful place.
An important part of learning how the mind works in The HMP© is to introduce him to his ‘Screen’. This is the below conscious area that the mind uses to inform the nervous system as to what is going on. The HMP© describes this influencer of the nervous system as ‘The Screen’, as coined by Matt Hudson. The current literature would refer to this influencer as the ‘Cyclic Mental Workspace’ (Meijer and Korf 2013).
Meijer and Korf (2013) propose a 3-Dimentional toroidal mental workspace with a flow of quantum and isoenergetic information, with the capacity to display holographic representations of information in 2-D form (holograms). They also propose that these representations may holographically project into one another. The HMP© refers to these holographic representations as Emotional Memory Images© (EMI).
As I asked him some simple questions about his symptoms, his eyes immediately accessed a spot high up and to the right of centre, once this location was accessed; there was an immediate and swift uprising of emotion. I pointed this out to him but he was as yet unaware of what he was doing.
As we moved on to different contexts during the conversation, his emotions settled and we began chatting jovially again. Later, as I asked another question about his current problem, his eyes immediately and unconsciously darted up to the same location as before. This time however, as he noticed himself doing this, he chuckled and began to become intrigued as to what was happening.
We explored this, and even with conscious effort and maximal concentration, he was unable to coherently talk about, think about, or express anything relating to his current problem without accessing that same ‘spot’. As he did become more aware of accessing that same spot, he also noticed that he began to experience an increase in heart rate, an increase in sweatiness of his hands, a feeling of anxiety, and an upward surge of negative emotion – all of the symptoms he was currently having difficulty with. A look of amazement, intrigue, and slight confusion spread across his face.
So what was happening?
At some point in his past, he had experienced a traumatic event that had caused significant negative emotion, anxiety and fear. At that point in time, his mind stored information about that event on his ‘screen’, otherwise known as his Cyclic Mental Workspace.
This information, although initially stored out of his conscious awareness, was still having a significant impact on his nervous system, as his brain was still producing the same biochemical responses that came with the initial event.
But how could this be?
Renowned psychiatrist and researcher Bessel Van der Kolk (2014) noted in his fascinating book “The Body Keeps The Score”, how in brain scans of patients suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a patient will experience a deactivation in a part of the brain called Broca’s area (important for speech), and a dramatic increase in activation of an area known as Brodmann 19, when given prompts about their traumatic experience.
Brodmann 19 is an area of the brain in the visual cortex that registers images when they first enter the brain. Van der Kolk (2014) was surprised to find this… Why is an area of the brain that relates to the registering of visual stimulus lighting up in patients so long after the original experience of the trauma?
Hudson proposes it is the aforementioned holographic Emotional Memory Images© stored on the below conscious ‘Screen’ or ‘Cyclic Mental Workspace’ that causes the brain to respond as if the trauma were occurring in the present.
As the gentleman became more and more intrigued by ‘that spot’, he began to notice that in that spot there was a small movie like clip of the traumatic incident running – he had gained a solid connection to his screen. Having done this, I was able to continue with the HMP© and help the client disrupt that connection, by using a technique designed to remove the ‘movie clip’ from his screen.
Following the disruption of this movie clip on screen, there was an immediate, wonderful, and profound change in his physiology. His face softened, his posture relaxed, and his entire physiology settled.
On the completion of the HMP©, the client was unable to reproduce any feelings of anxiety, he was unable to reproduce any of his earlier symptoms, and he simply had a graceful smile from ear to ear. A very happy client.
When repeatedly asked about his prior symptoms, there was no movement towards ‘that spot’ which for the previous 45 minutes he was unable to look away from, and he could now talk calmly and coherently – his screen was clear.
It will be exciting to find out who this gentleman becomes in the coming weeks with his trauma cleared and a clear workspace ahead.
