Please note: This does not constitute medical advice nor is it a substitute for it. You must have been diagnosed by a medical professional who has prescribed or advised pain relief. As an OldPain2Go Practitioner, I will work with you to help you access the part of your mind that deals with your own healing processes and help you ask for it to review your pain messages. It is a non-medical intervention of self work.
Q. Does it work?
A. Yes it can with a client who is positively wanting to be pain-free.
Q. Is this a Pain Management technique?
A. No. Pain management is about ongoing effort and rarely leaves you free of pain.
Q. What can I expect?
A. One of three things: Zero Pain, Reduced Pain or, No Change.
Q. Does it work on any pain?
A. It may work regardless of the original cause, providing there isn’t a need for it to be retained. If there is still a reason to keep the pain then the unconscious will not release it
Q. Do I need the pain until that part is completely healed?
A. No. Pain is a message that once it has alerted you to the problem, and you have done all you can, it is no longer needed. Think of a fire alarm, it gets switched off and reset to be alert when the fire is out, even if it has caused damage!
Q. I am on really strong painkillers, can an OldPain2Go® Practitioner help me remove this pain?
A. Yes, they may. Just think about this for a moment, if you are prescribed strong pain tablets or injections that is the medical profession saying that the pain is not necessary! Pain killers do not stop the pain message being sent out they simply interefere with it reaching the part of the body it is intended for. OldPain2Go is directed at asking for messages to be stopped, if it is safe to do so.
Q. I have a lifelong condition will the pain go.
A. Yes it may. The old pain message has done its job and alerted you and the medical profession to the problem. That old message can be deleted and allow new pain to arrive as is needed to alert you to a new problem or a worsening condition.
Q. I have a deteriorating condition, how will it work on that?
A. On deteriorating conditions, you are likely to have regular assessments by your medical practitioner to review the problem area. OldPain2Go® would act like pressing the fire alarm reset button. Your body is aware of the damage caused by the old fire and can reset the alarm to stop ringing and it will automatically ring again to tell you of a new danger.
Q. Why does my pain get worse and require ever stronger pain relief?
A. When pain is first triggered it forms a neural pathway in your brain, which fades quickly if the pain is short term. However, if the pain continues it builds up an increasingly stronger neural connection almost like a neural motorway. This is the same way we learn to run things automatically. Unfortunately, we are learning the wrong thing. Pain does not have an end date stamped on it, and it may “forget” to re-evaluate or turn off.
Q. I have put up with this pain for many years, how could it go in just minutes?
A. The longer you have had the pain the more likely it is that it no longer serves a purpose – you are aware of it – nothing can be done (medically) and your doctor prescribes pain relief. These are all signs that the old pain message is redundant. All that is required is for you to convince your unconscious of it.
Q. How often do I need treatment?
A. Typically this is a once only treatment for that old pain. It works by asking for the old pain messages to be deleted, therefore, the old pain message should not return, just as a deleted answer phone message cannot be played again and the tape is cleared to accept new messages. A second session would usually only be wanted if the first session didn’t produce a result you are satisfied with or the Practioner feels there may be further opportunities for improvement.
Q. I have many different sources of pain, do I need a separate session for each one?
A. We may help you deal with all issues at the same time or tackle the most problematic pain issue first and then ask for the others issues to do likewise. Do make us aware in advance so as to allow sufficient time. Sessions cost may vary given time factor involved.
Q. I have Fibromyalgia, will it work for me?
A. It is not a medical treatment or a cure for any illness or ailment, it is simply a reassessment of the unconscious processes that decides on the need for pain and the level of it. It has worked for people with Fibromyalgia. However, having Fibromyalgia is a condition where the message is usually still required, even though, or perhaps because, you are trying to ignore the pain or work through it. Please read here for Steven Blakes’s personal explanation of how its believed the illness starts and what you need to do to be released from it. If you do not have an interest in reading this fully or finding out how to put yourself on the road to recovery, then quite simply OldPain2Go is not for you. We can only help people willing to do what is necessary to recover, we do have an answer, it might not necessarily be the answer you wanted or agree with (but the National Fibromyalgia association makes statements that seem to agree with Steven’s own experiences).
Q. What if there is still a reason to keep the pain?
A. Quite simply the unconscious will not switch it off, because it would be unsafe to do so. The same reason you don’t take the battery out of a smoke alarm.
Q. What reasons or circumstances will stop it from working?
A. Providing you are of sound mind and rational – not under the influence of mind-altering drugs and alcohol, it may work for you – except where there is more reason to keep the pain than to lose it. Whilst you will gain a better quality of life from being pain-free there are things you may also lose, such as; state benefits, sympathy, help, support, and reasons to not go to places – or do things you don’t want. Whilst consciously you may deny that any of these influence you, it is your unconscious that decides on the balance of being in pain, or pain-free. The simple test is to answer this question out loud, “Do you want to be free of this pain?” If your answer is a solid and loud yes, then it will most likely work for you. If you hesitated or thought of reasons or excuses then it might not work. However we may be able to help you with that, please do bring this to to our. It is most important you are honest and open with us.
Q. Surely if it numbs an area that would be dangerous if a new injury occurred?
A. Yes, it would, but it doesn’t numb the area, it just turns off the old pain message allowing new pain to come as and when necessary. Holding on to old pain is similar to the problem of numbing an area, it means new pain might not be noticed and acted upon.
Q. Why would it only reduce the pain instead of stopping it?
A. This is usually a restriction placed there by your thoughts and beliefs. If you think being pain-free would lead to causing more damage or that you would forget you had a problem – that would cause it to only reduce the pain instead of turning it off. Sometimes people see X Rays or scan results, so convince themselves they could not possibly be pain-free with that amount of damage. Hopefully, we can talk you out of that!
Q. Could I bring the old pain back?
A. We will instruct you on use of language and internal thoughts. If you keep looking for the pain you have lost it could convince your unconscious to give you pain again. Also, our exaggerations can intensify pain or make it seem too much of a problem to remove. Take the phrase “this pain is killing me” and you can see that is never true but it will affect how you feel.
Q. My pain comes from a very traumatic event, does that make it harder to get rid of?
A. Yes, it may, but not necessarily. Sometimes the pain is a message to not do that thing again. This is why if we fall off something we are told to get back on right away so that we don’t develop a safety program that will continue to hurt us, in order to protect us from greater harm. Speak to us as we have the skills to help you over that trauma. While we apply a range of other techniques for this, OldPain2Go® also works on emotional pain so you must guide us to the solution for you. Please pre-warn us in advance if you believe you have strong emotional issues that may complicate the issue. Do note that addressing such emotional issues may involve multiple sessions as it can be a different ball game altogether.
Q. Is it Hypnosis?
A. No. The process is the simple setting-up of a yes signal and a direct discussion you will have with your own unconscious under the guidance of the Practitioner, no trance state is needed.
Q. Is it SAFE?
A. Yes totally. It works by the same internally processing of your unconscious that keeps you alive, runs your heart, your lungs and every other cell in your body. We just make it aware of that the pain is more of a problem than helping you. Your unconscious then makes the best choice for you, and it has kept you alive all these years.
Q. Why isn’t it well known?
A. People don’t really seek out the help they don’t know exists and are therefore cynical in trying it. It sounds and feels unbelievable long after you have become pain-free. It’s a bit of a vicious circle when people don’t take the opportunity because it seems like no-one else has! Clients and even other practitioners hoped it would work but didn’t really believe it could until they saw it happen, and had the same results themselves.
Q. Are there published medical results?
A. No, and it is unlikely to ever have them. Measurement of old pain is subjective to the individual. Even if there were a way, currently this work is done by individuals who cannot set up multi-million-pound research facilities.
