Do you suffer from chronic pain or pain due to surgery or pain due to injury, illness, or disease? It’s possible that hypnosis can help in the following three fundamental procedures: transform, alter, or displace your pain; directly address your pain and suggest that it decrease; and direct your attention away from your pain and experience the benefits of tranquil, peaceful imagery. These objectives can be achieved in numerous and varied ways. These sessions are designed to help you feel, think, and behave in certain ways. The following are ways that hypnosis can help with pain and will enable you to experience deep relaxation to reduce stress and anxiety; to transform your pain into a “visible” form; to own your pain and control it; to visualize yourself as healed and strong; to concentrate on the painful part of your body and heal it; to numb the part of your body that is painful; and to visualize and focus on positive images that direct your attention away from pain. The hypnosis session will be tailored to your specific cause of pain. Pain is a necessary and important condition within the body’s system to mobilize you to protect that part of your body and to seek medical help. What is your pain trying to tell you? Always consult a medical professional before deciding what kind of pain control technique to use. The doctor may refer you to physical therapy, acupuncture or acupressure, or to recommend behavior modification, or psychotherapy. In addition discovering why and how the problem originated and to try to determine what may be contributing to it such as physical exertion, stress, anxiety, fear or poor self image.
