Pain Relief With Hypnosis

Pain results in much suffering in adults and can cause depression and poor quality of life. The stats show that in the United States alone 100 million people suffer from some kind of Chronic Pain. But did you know that hypnosis can really help, with all sorts of painful conditions such as back pain and arthritis?

I get a regular referral of clients from a local G.P. and have had remarkable results. Recently a gentleman named Liam came to see me in severe pain. He was suffering from arthritis and was in pain from head to toe. After just one session he left feeling no pain whatsoever and is now a new man. Here is what Liam had to say about his experience: 

“I had a wonderful experience with Trevor recently. I was in a lot of pain for years and was asked to see about hypnosis by my rheumatology consultant and I have improved a great deal since having the hypnosis. I am taking far less tablets now and I am walking better. I have no joint stiffness or any pain. It’s a wonderful feeling. I have a lot more confidence now. I came away a new man. I would highly recommend Waterford Hypnosis. Trevor is a sincere and genuine person with a wonderful gift.”

Let’s talk a little bit about understanding 'pain'. What travels through the nerves when you get an injury, is not pain, it is 'activity in the nerves'. It is only when it gets to the brain, and the brain processes it, using emotions, beliefs and expectations, that it becomes an 'experience of pain'. It is important to recognise the difference between the 'painful signals' and the 'actual suffering'. For example stress and anxiety almost always intensify the power of any pain experience. Hypnosis can help a people relax so that they can experience comfort rather than pain and helps manage the fear and anxiety people feel related to pain. It also relaxes the nervous system, so it’s not as reactive to the pain, as well as redirecting your attention away from the sensation of pain. People have actually gone through fairly serious operations using hypnotherapy and not requiring any general and/or local anesthetic. This is an example of how powerful hypnosis is. 

Hypnosis is one of the most effective interventions for the reduction of pain and suffering. In recent years, it has become an increasingly more acceptable therapeutic intervention. Many studies (Ashton et al., 1997; Cadranel et al., 1994; Chaves & Dworkin, 1997; Hrezo, 1998; Lang, Joyce, Spiegel, Hamilton, & Lee, 1996; Marchioro et al., 2000; Patterson & Jensen, 2003; Van der Does, Van Dyck, & Spijker, 1988) have demonstrated that hypnosis in persons who experience pain or stress can reduce the need for pain medications. Remember all hypnosis is self hypnosis, it is very safe and you will only accept suggestions you want to accept regardless of the depth of hypnosis.

Hypnosis Works For Nail-biting

We have a new baby in the family and needless to say getting a few hours to spare to write a new hypnotic blog post has proved difficult. So when I sat down to write it I had to come up with a topic I had not yet covered. And then it popped into my head -'Nail Biting' This is a fairly common complaint and without fail every year I have a couple of clients that come to see me to solve this problem. According to the statistics and studies done on nail biting, 28-33% of children ages 7-10 years old, 44% of adolescents, 19-29% of young adults and 5% of older adults are nail biters. Nail-biting, like every other habit is formed over time as we go through life and we condition ourselves into our behaviors and habits. From the time we are born we are learning whether it be walking, talking, reading or writing, so that it becomes automatic and subconscious, i.e. without us even having to think about it. Unfortunately fears and habits like Nail-biting can also emerge. Fortunately, Hypnosis is a great way to stop any bad habits.and research results have indicated that suggestions preceded by hypnotic induction resulted in symptom improvement when it comes to Nail-biting1. 

The success of the treatment does very much depend on the client committing to the process (and believing it will work), following my instructions and completing the program. However the same can be said for any of the programs that I offer. I find with something like Nail-biting, that it can take a few sessions for the client to learn some techniques such as self hypnosis and anchoring a positive state to help eliminate the habit. With time the old neural pathways and triggers associated with the habit can be broken. 

A few words here again about the hypnotic state (something I frequently get asked!) - Remember that it is a natural state of mind that we all have experienced at one time or another, e.g. daydreaming. It is just a nice feeling of mental and physical relaxation; It is not sleep and you will not be 'unconscious' or 'asleep', in fact it is a state of heightened focus and creativity, where your mind is open and receptive to absorb new suggestions, ideas and concepts.My clients are always in control and can open their eyes any time they wish. Thankfully so far all of my clients have enjoyed the process so much that they didn't want to open their eyes, but go deeper into the process. In other words the process is completely safe - all hypnosis is 'self-hypnosis' and is very enjoyable. I have dozens of happy clients that can verify this! 

Here are a few of the testimonials I have recieved:

Fantastic, I can’t believe it, but I have not bitten my nails since. Am cutting my nails for the first time tonight. Its only great. Thanks a million. ill recommend you over and over again. - John, Tipperary

Thank you Trevor, the skin around my nails is healing well, almost immediately became concious of biting. I had bitten my nails for as long as I can remember, it was a deeply entrenched habit. - Renee, Tipperary

While the client is guided into the hypnotic state, guided imagery and visualization can be utilized to help. For example I would suggest the client see themselves in the future with their nails looking great, trimmed and neat, so that they can easily peel an orange…and then suggest ‘and how good does that feel’? Positive suggestions can be presented to the person and a new subconscious learning introduced. These are just a few of the many methods that I use to encourage the client to open up a pathway to really make the trance-formation and drop their habit. Like all my hypnosis programs, I just facilitate a process that I guide people though, sort of like a guide or instructor, leading and empowering them to achieve their goals. My Nail-biting program is 3 sessions and cost 195 euros. Call now and kick that habit out of your life, you don't want it, you don't need it, you don't have to have it!
