Hypnosis: Chronic Pain Relief
Use hypnosis to dial down your body's perception of pain.
Do you suffer from chronic pain?
Is it stopping you from living the life you want?
Chronic pain is a debilitating and common condition, affecting between one and two in every five adults.
In many cases, pain is an important signal that lets us know when something is wrong in the body so that we can attend to it and make it right. However, in the case of chronic pain, these signals persist well beyond their usefulness. Even once we have done everything possible to diagnose and treat the source of pain, still it repeatedly reminds us that "something's wrong!"
But we don't feel the same degree of pain all the time, do we?
There's a malleable nature to pain. You've probably noticed there are times when your pain diminishes significantly. Have you ever been so thoroughly absorbed in something that you forgot all about your pain? There's only so much your brain can consciously attend to at a time, so when your brain is completely distracted with something else, it no longer perceives pain.
This should be a source of great hope! The way we perceive pain has far more to do with what's going on in our minds than with what's happening in our bodies. And our minds are remarkably malleable. By changing the way our brains process the perception of pain, we can exert a surprising amount of influence on our day-to-day experience of chronic pain.
Hypnosis can help!
In light of the above, you may not be surprised to learn that hypnosis has shown some impressive results in helping to alleviate chronic pain. A 2020 research paper reported that for adults with chronic pain, hypnosis conferred a "medium to large" improvement in pain intensity that was maintained for up to 12 months post-treatment.
My Chronic Pain hypnosis session will help you dial down the experience of pain at a subconscious level.
As you relax and listen repeatedly to your session, you'll notice that you:
Experience greater physical comfort, and manage discomfort more effectively.
Feel more mentally calm and relaxed.
Sleep more soundly at night.
Feel motivated to do more of the things you enjoy.
Feel so much better in general.
Listen to the Chronic Pain hypnosis session now and get back to doing the things you love.

The Most Valuable Contributor to Success: YOU!
It is important to recognize the significance of the role you play in accomplishing your goals. Hypnosis is neither procedure nor prescription that is done to you. In fact, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis in that you are an active participant in the process. The hypnotherapist should be viewed as a catalyst or guide. You are an integral part in reinforcing positive messages and fulfilling goals through your actions.
Success in attaining your goals depends on you. Success in hypnosis works similarly to success in looking after your health. For instance, if a doctor prescribes blood pressure medication to a patient, that medication will work best only if the patient takes the pill as prescribed, quits smoking, reduces stress, and eats a low sodium diet. Otherwise, the blood pressure medication is ?swimming against the tide? so to speak with not much of a chance. It is like this when using hypnosis. Success depends on many variables including personal attitude, motivation, cooperation, and follow through with reinforcing practices.
What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a technique used to induce a heightened awareness and ability to focus in the subconscious mind. The hypnotic state can occur naturally in our everyday lives. For instance, if you've ever found yourself so engrossed in a book that you stopped noticing what was happening around you, then you've experienced a mild hypnotic state. Your awareness and focus were turned inward, toward your book. Hypnosis induced with the guidance of a professional can help you attain even deeper awareness and focus toward the messages of your choosing. Of course, the goal in hypnosis is to focus on positive messages that are goal-oriented and solution-based.
Who can be hypnotized?
Most people can be hypnotized to varying degrees. A deeper hypnotic state may be achieved with practice. But, great work can be accomplished even in a light hypnotic state. Anyone with a desire and a willingness to concentrate can experience hypnosis.
What age range is appropriate for hypnosis?
Persons 7 years and older.
Will I be asleep?
No. During a hypnosis session, you will be aware of what's happening. Actually, your senses may be even more acute than usual.
Will I lose control?
No. Your awareness is heightened during a hypnosis session so that you stay focused on your goals. So, hypnosis actually helps you gain control. No one has control over anyone's thoughts and behavior besides his or her own.
What does it feel like to be hypnotized?
Each person's experience is unique, but many report feeling very relaxed and comfortable. Most people report being able to hear and recall the entire session.
Could I get stuck in hypnosis?
No. No one is able to remain in a hypnotic state indefinitely. You would naturally either fall asleep or come back into your conscious waking state.
What if I have medical problems?
Hypnosis is often used to help with the healing process and/or pain management.
What is hypnosis?
All hypnosis is really self-hypnosis in that it is your mind doing all the work. The practitioner is a catalyst or guide. Homework after a session will involve the practice of self-hypnosis to reinforce progress toward goals.
