Hypnotherapy and Pain
Hypnotherapy has gained recognition as an effective tool for pain management, particularly for chronic pain conditions. It works by altering the way the brain processes pain signals, helping individuals experience less discomfort and gain better control over their pain. Hypnotherapy is not a substitute for traditional care approaches such as medication but can help and support these to work better for you. Here's how hypnotherapy is used in pain management:
Changing perception of pain
Hypnotherapy can help the brain's perception of pain. During a hypnotherapy session, a variety of approaches can be offered to help the person focus away from the pain or reinterpret the sensation, reducing the intensity of pain felt.
Relaxation and Stress Reduction
Hypnosis induces a deep state of relaxation, which can lower stress and anxiety levels. Since stress often makes pain feel worse, reducing stress through hypnotherapy can lead to reduce pain levels.
Natural Hormone (Endorphins) Release
Hypnosis can stimulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. This can help the body to manage pain naturally.
Hypnotherapy is Complementary and Versatile
Hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy so it can be offered alongside other pain management strategies, such as Physiotherapy, Medication, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This helps you manage your pain in a holistic way that works for you.
Some approaches offered during Hypnotherapy for Pain
Guided Imagery & Anchors - The mind is very powerful so visualisation can help to increase internal positivity, and the use of anchors (mind body link techniques) can help reduce pain intensity.
Direct and Indirect Suggestion – This involves communication with your conscious and unconscious minds. Suggestion interventions can help to build internal confidence, positivity and inner calm. This can all help to change your inner perception and allow you to accept some ‘happier’ times and feelings.
Hypnotic Analgesia: This technique involves creating a sensation of numbness or detachment from the painful area, reducing the perception of pain.
Transforming Thinking - Using both Hypnotherapy and NLP approaches can help to alter the way you view and feel your pain. This can have a positive effect on your overall mind body and spiritual quality of life.
Mindfulness and Self-Hypnosis – Hypnotherapy workd well and enhaces mindfulness approaches. Self-hypnosis and mediation approaches that suit you can be worked into the session to give you greater empowerment over your situation.
Hypnotherapy is not a ‘miracle cure’. It can take several sessions for your mind to accept different ways to complement and manage your pain. Some people find benefits after one two or three sessions, with periodic booster sessions.
