Self-Hypnosis and Pain Management
Our approach to pain management is a little different from others in our field as we believe that our job is not to 'fix' the pain at the moment but to give you the ability to manage the pain you have, when you have it. We see no advantage to you coming to us every time you are in pain, and a much better approach is to teach you how to 'turn down' the pain when it occurs.
Please be aware that our pain management self-hypnosis approach has been specifically developed for Physiological (from the body) pain caused by an underlying physical condition, and that Psychological (from the mind) pain is very different, and often has its roots in mental or emotional trauma which need to be addressed before the pain can be relieved.
Pain Management Self-Hypnosis Sessions
Because our approach to pain management techniques are more about self-hypnosis than Clinical Hypnosis our sessions are structured differently.
You will still be given the pre-Hypnosis overview as we know that this will help when it comes to learning how to hypnotise yourself, however there is little time spent of the pre-Induction investigation as it is usually clear as to the nature of the pain.
We will take you into hypnosis several times so you are aware of what it feels like, and then we will teach you how to hypnotise yourself to relieve the pain. Now, normally when people talk about self-hypnosis it is a long process, however what we teach will get you into a deep state of hypnosis within a few seconds, and you will be able to begin managing the pain within 1-minute, yes it really is that fast.
The best thing about self-hypnosis for pain relief is the fact that the more you use it, the better and longer lasting it becomes.

Pain, whether long term (chronic) or short term (acute) can be debilitating and has a real and measurable impact on quality of life. Hypnosis has been shown to be very effective in the management and relief of pain, and is particularly useful when other options (such as medication) are unavailable or unsuitable.
