Hi, my name is Patrick, founder of MindEase Hypnotherapy.  

2018 had been an eventful year for me. Not only I turned 48, I left the familiar IT industry, not once, but twice when I suddenly ended my almost seven years stint with my last permanent job at the beginning of the year, and the subsequent contract job barely lasted for four months in later part of the year.  I rejoined the IT workforce in 2019, but it didn’t work out well either.  Triggered by some noxious office culture, I was constantly in fear at work, lost all my drive, and had an absolutely bleak outlook towards my life and future.  Desperate to get me up again, I sought professional counseling help as well as medical advice and confirmed my suspicion with two psychiatrist doctors.  I was suffering from a Major Depressive Disorder (i.e. Depression) that could trace the onset back in 2015/6 when my work back then had reached a boiling point after few years of repeated suppression of my emotions.

Not wanting to rely on anti-depressant medication, I began my search for other healing alternatives, and come across hypnotherapy as the shortest path to achieve recovery.  I began to see not one but two hypnotherapists around the same time.  One was using a solution-focused forward-looking approach to chart out an ideal positive future, whereas the other was using 5-PATH® Hypnotherapy to help me uncover the root cause of my low mood, which could trace back to series of childhood incidents that I had forgotten long ago.  

There is a Chinese saying “心病终须心药医” meaning only psychic treatment can heal psychic illnesses. Another Chinese saying goes “解铃还须系铃人” meaning one must untie the heart knot that one made before.  That is exactly what hypnotherapy is all about, since all hypnosis is indeed self-hypnosis.  It is via hypnosis that the body requests the healing towards wellness and wholeness again (first mentally, then manifested physically).

To achieve our goal/ dream, or to effect a positive change, the fastest way is to work directly with our mind, or more specifically, our powerful subconscious mind.  And to get into the subconscious mind, the best method is none other than through hypnosis.

Having suffered from severe depression before, I always count the blessing to have found the right solution that supported my recovery and bounce back.  It was through the therapy sessions that I rediscovered myself, saw a clear pattern in my life events, and realised my life purpose – to help & support others to fulfill their dreams while we have a human experience on earth. 

Therefore, I decided to take up a professional certified hypnosis course so that I could learn & use hypnosis properly to help those needy people – to bring them hope, show it that there is nothing wrong with them, they are always lovable, and most importantly there is a way out.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.  Immediately after I finished my full-time professional hypnosis course and became a certified Master Hypnotist, I also enrolled and completed my Access Bars Practitioner training.  The Access Bars run sessions that I received from my fellow practitioner classmate really released the last limiting thoughts if any I might have on myself, and opened myself up to the infinite possibilities – on how I could harness Access Bars® and complement it with 5-PATH® Hypnotherapy as well as 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® to produce even more significant benefits to my future client.  Like one of the key Access Consciousness statements, “How does it get any better than this?”  I was supercharged up, and in December, MindEase had shifted into its new office with full services ready for its customers.

My Guiding Principles

With many years of professional training and corporate experience, having worked in various organisations requiring utmost integrity, I have developed strong work ethics.  Being a customer myself, I am a true believer of the Golden Rule “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”, guided by and practise below principles when serving my clients.
