Hypnosis Can Help With Your Pain and Struggles

by Dillon Patterson Article Publisher

When you hear the word “hypnosis,” your brain might conjure up the image of a magician at a carnival sideshow swinging a pocket watch in front of someone’s face and saying, “you’re getting very, very sleepy.”

Unlike magic show hypnosis, medical hypnosis is a holistic treatment that focuses on supporting and restoring the mind.

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is hypnosis that is guided by a clinical hypnotherapist. Hypnotherapy is a widely accepted tool in psychology. It is characterized by a heightened state of calmness that helps an individual quiet their emotional mind while increasing their focus.

By inducing a trance-like state, a therapist can help a patient begin the recovery process. With professional guidance, individuals can focus on their pains and struggles, which allow them to implement changes or regain control of their life in targeted areas.

What Does Hypnotherapy Treat?

Hypnotherapy has been used as a treatment for a variety of conditions, such as:

•        Addiction

•        Anxiety

•        Chronic stress

•        Depression

•        Pain management

•        PTSD (posttraumatic stress disorder)

•        Sleep management

•        Weight loss

 

Additionally, hypnosis can help reduce phobias, improve digestive issues, and manage negative thoughts and behaviours. Hypnosis is a powerful tool to help you gain mastery over your own mind. Just as negative thoughts can make a body sick, promoting positive and nurturing thoughts (via hypnosis) can help heal your mind.

Preparing for Hypnotherapy

Before starting your hypnosis sessions, your healthcare professional may recommend that you eliminate certain unhealthy routines or behaviours that might interfere with the treatment process. These harmful habits may include: lack of quality sleep, alcohol or drug abuse, excessive caffeine intake, and living a sedentary existence. A practitioner might also give some simple tips, like unplugging electronics before bed to allow for more restful and brain rejuvenating sleep.

What Happens During a Session?

A hypnosis session is typically conducted in a quiet, relaxed environment. A clinician will make sure the patient is comfortable and then begin the session.

The therapist will ask the patient to reflect on troubling events from the past or current challenges. By changing a negative thought or experience to a positive one, a practitioner can help guide the patient along a path of recovery.

Unlike the frequently inaccurate ways hypnotherapy is portrayed in movies and TV, a patient is never unwillingly forced into unconsciousness or some abstract dream state. A patient is awake and in control of their thought process the entire session. The patient can hear the therapist’s direction and can choose whether or not to implement those suggestions.
