Always happy to have more research - sadly, the headline gives the impression that there isn't already a lot of OLD research saying the same thing.

"New research CONFIRMS that hypnosis helps with pain and surgery recovery."

There. Fixed.

Two new studies suggest hypnotherapy may help with surgery pain and offer ‘best treatment’ for children’s stomach pain.

Isn't it great when research confirms what we already know? And often can offer a better explanation of WHY something works.....

Science matters.

Nonhormone options for hot flashes and other menopause symptoms are growing in popularity, especially for women who cannot take hormones due to health complications. Cognitive behavioral therapy and clinical hypnosis are common nonhormone treatment options.

A former student in my Hypnobabies class a few years ago recently published an excellent article on hypnosis for childbirth.

One of my favorite things about the class was helping parents learn to advocate for themselves. I love doctors and science -- and it was something of a shock to realize that a lot of our hospital standard practices around childbirth are not necessarily based on evidence. Hypnobabies was as much about keeping calm as keeping comfortable -- a cycle of wellness!

I was doing a deep dive online for an upcoming presentation on how hypnosis helps change even deeply ingrained patterns. (One of mine is letting a quick question pull me down into the rabbit hole of research.)

So now I need to know - how many of you have heard of a language called "Polari?" Seriously, I'd love to know!

It's described as a cant or slang language from Britain. Apparently it's the source of the word "zhoosh" or "zhush" which is the only one in the examples that I've actually heard (meaning to spiff up, stylise).

Consider this also an invitation to share any cool unexpected knowledge you've gotten recently that is unrelated to your original quest....

Have you seen The Rubber Hand?

This mind-magic experiment shows that the mind interprets sensation. That's why hypnosis works for pain, fear and habit -- we just have to match the right technique to the right person.

If you're curious how this could help you, check out the Voss Wellness page or call to book a consultation session.

I love this version, by Magic for Humans:

Found this in my email folder today. It's a few years old but boy did it brighten my day:

"Stephanie literally saved my life! I was battling severe insomnia after a miscarriage that had been crippling me with anxiety. I would get anxious in the evening knowing I needed to sleep, but I was so afraid of not sleeping that I developed a fear so strong that I didn't know how to handle this. I'd go weeks without proper sleep which brought me to depression and honestly I wasn't thinking correctly at all...

"I tried sleeping pills ... doctors ... I tried it all until finally I realized I might need to be hypnotized. WELL! did I pick the right lady to go to for this! I sure did! Stephanie saved me, she literally hypnotized me just enough to ultimately love myself. The happiness and serenity I feel at night now is monumental! She completely shifted my brain to change the way I think and I will forever be grateful.

"Although I was [wary of] spending a good chunk of change on this BOY AM I SURE GLAD I DID. AN INVESTMENT TO LAST A LIFETIME. Highly recommend for anxiety,insomnia, poor habits and self hate. She will fix you ... trust me. Thank you Stephanie!! Also her voice is so calming .. you will sink down into your couch cushions while listening to her sweet voice."

Stacey sent this back in 2018 and gave me permission to share, but I don't think I ever did.

I was thinking, there is nothing like a little appreciation to brighten your day! And then that kind review inspired me to give my own THANK YOU for good help. And the day got even brighter!

So my subtle hypnotic suggestion to you today is this: Give yourself a boost. Send a thank you note out of the blue. Share it in the comments here, too, if you like.

Let's get a love-fest going!

I have training in gut-directed hypnotherapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Some studies show it is more effective than special diets or medication

The mind-body connection is powerful — and can be centered on the “enteric brain,” which is the gut.

No side effects -- aside from also learning stress management techniques that can help in all sorts of circumstances.

Science is revealing that pain is a protector, not a detector. Understanding this is the first step towards managing it, says doctor and author Monty Lyman

My teacher Patrick Singleton helped me with a cat allergy (after I'd used his training to help others). Science can help us understand how allergies can be a result of associative conditioning -- which happens in the mind!

I love working with phobias and allergies. It's basically the same technique whether your mind or body are over-reacting to a benign situation or substance.

Cool huh?

Today's session was a boost for a now NON-SMOKER! At over 75, they'd been stuck at home with not much to do for the whole pandemic, puffing away at nearly 2 packs a day -- even while suffering from COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), which makes it hard to breathe. In fact, they weren't able to keep the oxygen tank, which helps, in the bedroom -- because it has to stay away from fire.

Seven (7) Days Free so far - and today we worked on knocking out those last few cravings.

A few days in, they visited the doctor who immediately said, "You quit smoking!" What gave it away? They no longer smelled like smoke.

Here's to a fresh start on a lovely spring day. To tools to keep calm and motivated no matter what happens around you. And to smiling whenever you see other people inhale -- because you know you'll never have to hurt yourself like that again.
