Hypnotherapy can help alleviate the affects of many kinds of physical and emotional issues. There are many ways in which hypnosis can be very helpful to aid in the relief of pain in the body and mind. There is SO much hypnotherapy can do as long as the person is open to believing it is possible.
In my experience, I have been able to assist in providing relief to people who suffer from serious emotional issues, such as serious traumatic events, PTSD, feelings of anxiety, grief, loss, unwanted urges, and undesirable habits... as well as, giving people permanent relief from physical issues such as migraines, arthritis pain, other types of physical pains. I have witnessed shocking outcomes - truely amazing healings!
*In my opinion, a person does not need to be re-traumatized by past events in order to get permanent emotional relief and I have had great success in the method I use. As a matter of fact, a person does not even need to disclose to me what has happened in order to helped by hypnotherapy.
While I cannot guarantee certain results, I can say my success rate is quite high.
Sometimes, if a person has not ever been hypnotised, they may have difficulty in relaxing in to a deep enough state of trance to fully benefit from the session. This is especially true if the person suffers from trust and/or anxiety issues. The good news is, if this happens, I will continue to work with a client to achieve the deep state required - for free - until we have success. Again, this may take a few sessions. Usually on the second or third session, the person is able to achieve the deep relaxed state we need. And usually, once we are successful achieving the deep state, the person is able to access this state of relaxation for sessions thereafter.
Hypnosis also may be helpful for:
- Pain control. Hypnosis may help with pain due to burns, cancer, childbirth, irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, jaw problems, dental procedures and headaches.
- Hot flashes. Hypnosis may ease hot flashes caused by menopause.
- Behavior change. Hypnosis has been used with some success to treat sleep problems, bed-wetting, smoking and overeating.
- Cancer treatment side effects. Hypnosis has been used to ease side effects from chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
- Mental health conditions. Hypnosis may help reduce anxiety associated with fears and phobias.
Hypnosis can be an effective way to cope with stress and anxiety. In particular, it may ease stress and anxiety before a medical procedure, such as a breast biopsy.
Hypnosis can be effective in helping people cope with pain, stress and anxiety. Keep in mind, though, that health care providers typically suggest other treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, for those conditions before or along with hypnosis.
Hypnosis may be effective as part of a larger treatment plan for quitting smoking or losing weight.
Hypnosis isn't right for everyone. Not all people are able to enter a state of hypnosis fully enough for it to work well. In general, the more quickly and easily people reach a state of relaxation and calm during a session, the more likely it is that they will benefit from hypnosis.
Risks: (NOTE: This is rare, however, I ask after each session how you are feeling. If any of the following occur, I immediately take care of the aftereffect.)
Hypnosis done by a trained health care provider is a safe, complementary and alternative medical treatment. Be aware, however, that hypnosis may not be safe for some people with severe mental illness.
Harmful reactions to hypnosis are rare, but they may include:
- Dizziness.
- Headache.
- Nausea.
- Drowsiness.
- Anxiety or distress.
- Sleep problems.
