 National Institute of Health statistics indicate that when in need of a physician, the majority of patients now also seek alternative or complementary practitioners as well.

prescription pillsThere are many of us who don’t want to swallow a pill to mask physical or emotional symptoms.  There are those who are apprehensive of needles or claustrophobic MRIs.  Some are just looking for more natural, non-invasive approaches to managing chronic pain. Even folks who must have surgery find recovery time is faster quicker, experiencing less post-op pain when using hypnosis.  Most people utilize hypnosis as a complement, rather than an alternative, to allopathic medicine. They achieve positive results in learning to better manage chronic pain to better manage their improved quality of life.

First, in order to work with a Hypnotist for pain management, make sure you have an OK from your medical doctor.  A Hypnotist cannot work with you unless s/he is assured in writing that your doctor is aware you are concurrently seeing a hypnotist.  This policy, endorsed by the National Guild of Hypnotists, protects the general public and more specifically, becomes a safeguard for our clients.  For example, if someone walked into my hypnosis office complaining of headaches, would it be prudent for me to hypnotically minimize client’s headache if it were truly the body’s message signaling a more serious condition?  Absolutely not!

Hypnotic Healing is a Mind/Body approach to self-healing when responsibly used.  After all, your body is designed as a self-healing mechanism, isn’t it?  It is programmed to heal bruises and cuts and so on.  And since all hypnosis is self-hypnosis, you must conclude you are in control of your physical body much more than you realize.

Most people utilize hypnosis as a complement, rather than an alternative, to allopathic medicine.
Psychoneuroimmunology and psychoneurophysiology are the core of Mind/Body Healing.  A certified Hypnotist will guide you toward tapping into your own inner healer to produce pain management strategies that work!  As a man thinketh, so shall it be!  This statement is the heart of Emotional Self Management (ESM).  A well-trained Hypnotist can guide you through ESM techniques as well as influence your hypnotic experience using Thought Field Therapies (TFT) . . . more on this in upcoming articles.
