What Is PSYCH-K®? Why getting in state stops working, and what changes the pattern

What is PSYCH-K®? It is a modality for rapidly changing the subconscious beliefs that drive the automatic responses getting in the way of the results we consciously want.

If you're like me, you know what you want in your life. You've got changes you want to make. You've got strategies, you've got discipline, you're motivated, but you can still be getting less than awesome results in some areas. And it's not through lack of trying. It's just that part of us keeps getting in the way.

And that's where PSYCH-K® comes in, because PSYCH-K® is about rapidly changing those subconscious beliefs that drive those automatic responses that do get in the way. These are the patterns that we run because of the triggers in our life. And that's important, because the whole idea of getting in state, or trying to simply push through something that we're subconsciously resisting, that's a huge problem.

I mean, we know what to do. We can get in state, and we can often push through, but there are times when we find ourselves either procrastinating or acting in a way that sabotages the results we want. And it's unconscious. We make these decisions and we do these things that don't serve the outcome. And it's not for lack of wanting the results, because we do want them consciously. It's just that part of us is resisting it.

And it comes down to two things that are running beneath the surface: triggers and patterns. So a trigger is the spark. It could be anything. Internal, like a thought or a feeling, or external, like a tone of voice or someone's behaviour or an action. Something, anything that pulls the trigger in us and sets off a subconscious reaction. Now the pattern that fires runs automatically from that trigger. It is the automatic sequence of sorts, of feelings and behaviours, actions like procrastination, like pulling back or self-sabotage.

Now that plays out on repeat, unfortunately. And most of these patterns were developed before we were even seven years old. Back then, they were created to protect us. And that's what patterns are there for. But when you run a sub-seven-year-old pattern, a survival program, as a conscious adult, it sabotages the very result that you're trying to solve. And often it's an irrational thing that we're protecting ourselves from. So it means we are acting like a child in moments where we definitely want to be acting like a conscious adult.

And we've all got triggers and patterns. I know I have. And these patterns for me have shown up across so much of my life. My body, my relationships, my business, my money, my wellbeing, on and on, you name it. Many triggers, many patterns. Now, so much of what shaped these patterns wasn't consciously chosen by us: the experiences, the environments, the relationships. Those moments continue to create subconscious beliefs about who we are and how we need to respond to things. But the ones that are from our childhood continue to influence our responses. They impact the outcomes that we're experiencing until we do something about them.

Now, I've been chasing changes like this in my life for more than half my life, and I'm over 50 now. I've done daily deep meditation, I've done hypnosis, EFT, talk therapy, physiological and philosophical strategies for state change. I know there's more that I can do and you can do. And all of this for me was to push through the resistance I was experiencing and change the outcomes, the results that I consciously want, right? But I wasn't seeing in my life. Now, don't get me wrong. Some of these modalities are great and they can be great, but for me, many of them simply didn't hold up under fire. Like Mike Tyson said, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. And that's the same with getting in state. It all goes to shit when a trigger fires and your pattern runs.

That's what I love most about PSYCH-K®. It's the speed and permanence of change. And for me, these things are a necessity. It gives me real, testable, tangible results in minutes.

Now, before I go any further, I want to give proper credit to PSYCH-K®. It is a modality that's a user-friendly way to change the software, rewrite the software of your mind, your being, and change how you respond in the world when those triggers fire. And they will fire. And I have deep gratitude to Robert Williams, the originator of PSYCH-K®, and to Dr Bruce Lipton, who introduced me to this through his awesome work.

Now, I've never experienced anything like this modality before. And the beautiful thing about this is that the changes can happen without having to relive the grief or the pain or the trauma that established the pattern and the trigger in the first place. It's simply about focusing on the issue at hand, what we actually are experiencing, and what we'd like to experience instead.

So PSYCH-K® can be done in person, or via the phone or Zoom. In my experience, phone and Zoom work as good, if not better, than in person, not simply because of the convenience. Now, I'm talking about real, measurable, transformational results within a session. And this is absolutely not a judgment on talk therapies or other modalities where the business model might be to keep you locked in for months or years. But if you're like me, you may get hooked on the changes that you experience and find yourself wanting more and more sessions to keep peeling the onion skin layers back, finding more patterns and triggers and solving them. And that's the beauty of it.

Personally, I'm time poor and I'm impatient. So the idea of months of talk therapy to solve a problem does not inspire me or interest me in the slightest. And that is why this modality is what I found to be the most effective in my life, because it comes down to this.

Most of what shaped my life, I'm talking about all the trauma, triggers, patterns, everything that I experienced, wasn't my fault. It wasn't my parents' fault or their parents' fault. It wasn't the cultures that they each grew up in, the societies. But each of those influence the triggers and patterns that I have. That lineage is a real thing. And it's how I choose now to respond to these, to what drives me, that is completely up to me. That part is my responsibility.

So I'm by no means asking you to blindly accept this as the one and only solution or the reason you should do it. But what I am doing is using PSYCH-K® myself with my own Psych Hack Experiments. And I'm documenting what happens here. I'm identifying the beliefs that I want to change in myself, or a new answer that I want to internalise in my life. And then I get to observe what happens when I do it, and document it. I love it.

If that sounds interesting to you, or you've got questions that I haven't covered in this or my other videos, then book yourself a discovery call and we can have a chat. Or you can just follow along with my experiments and see how this work impacts my life for real.

Until next time, be unapologetically awesome. Bye for now.
