HYPNO-ANALGESIA
Hypno-analgesia is a form of pain control that uses the power of suggestion to relieve pain. This form of pain management has been around for centuries. It can be used during childbirth, dental surgeries and to help reduce chronic pain symptoms.
In 2015, I underwent surgery on my right arm, severing a major nerve. As a result of this surgery, I was left with chronic nerve pain from my shoulder blades down to the tips of my fingers. I can only describe it as a burning sensation, like a radiating fire that never goes away. I took high doses of two types of pain medication, and they barely took the edge off. I was depressed and had a hard time sleeping. The pain medication made me feel tired and drained of energy.
Why am I telling you this?
Because in 2019, I started learning how positive suggestions affect the body. I started using hypnosis regularly and telling myself that I could heal my body and feel better. I was able to taper off my pain and depression medication. Today, I am proud to say that my pain is manageable because of hypnosis.
Everyone is different in how they react to hypnosis. In fact, we all go in and out of the hypnotic state all day long. Imagine standing in the shower and beginning to relax. Your mind may start to wander, and then perhaps you start to problem solve a solution to something that has been weighing on your mind all day long. This happens because you relax the mind and open up to suggestions and problem-solving abilities.
Hypnosis is just a state of the mind where one experiences increased focus, attention, concentration, and suggestibility.
So how does it work with pain relief?
Hypno-analgesia has been professionally researched in controlled experiments (See list of research articles below). Studies have shown that hypno-analgesia can help relieve chronic pain associated with headaches, backaches, fibromyalgia, carcinoma-related pain, jaw pain, and mixed disorder pain. It has been proven to reduce pain during childbirth, dental procedures, and in the treatment of burns.
It works by opening your subconscious mind to the suggestion that you are in control of your pain and not the other way around. However, not all pain is bad. Acute pain is how we know our bodies need attention. Hypno-analgesia lets the body know you have heard the warning and have taken steps to fix the problem.
Hypnosis is not a treatment itself. It is a modality that can be used with other treatments to help relieve pain and reduce other related conditions associated with pain.
If you or someone you know has chronic pain and would like help relieving the pain, send me a message. I would be happy to help.

Celebrating the Month of April through positive healing and growth.
April is finally here! The flowers are opening, bringing a time for positive healing and growth. This month I am celebrating healthier living and raising consciousness on how we can have a more balanced equilibrium through positive thoughts.
Too often, we do or don't do things out of fear. "put on your coat or you will catch a cold," "What if I don't like it?" I'm Afraid that person will reject me."
Sound familiar?
Image what life could be like if there was no more fear and only positive thoughts!
This month I wanted to take some time to talk about what that could look like.
When one goes through life, fearing things, increases their stress and anxiety levels and reduces their immune system. According to the American Journal of Managed Care, chronic fear can affect your physical, emotional, environmental, and spiritual health.
Chronic fear can manifest in the body as migraines, muscle aches, chronic pain, phobic anxiety, OCD, mood swings, paranoia, sleeplessness, and many other ways.
Fear can then become a vicious cycle to unwrap.
Fortunately, there are ways to bring one's body back to a more balanced equilibrium.
The first step is to realize that fear is not healthy and decide that you will no longer live your life out of fear. Take back your health and well-being by identifying those things that make you feel bad and begin to remove them from your life.
Stop letting your critical thinking rule your life.
After you have identified the cause of your health problems, then you can begin to turn them around.
So ask yourself a few questions when you begin to feel worried, stressed, or anxious.
Why do I feel this way, and is the reason based on actual facts?
Next, is there a positive way to look at the situation?
Then ask yourself, what is the probability or likelihood that the situation will happen?
If the answer is low, then what are other possible outcomes.
If it is high, then ask yourself, "Is this thought helpful or hurtful?"
Now, imagine yourself helping a friend with this problem. What would you say to your friend?
By letting go of the fear and identifying the problem, you can begin to identify solutions that work best for you. Then your body will thank you and start to feel better, happier, and healthier.
Another way to remove fear is through hypnosis.
Hypnosis can help change limiting beliefs and bring positive healing and growth. It works by taking a detour around the critical part of your mind allowing you to access your subconscious. Then you can change habits and beliefs, so they work for you instead of against you.
Sound too good to be true?
Studies have found that after only 6 sessions of hypnotherapy, 93% of clients have overcome a problem. (American Health Magazine, 2007)
Other studies have shown that hypnosis is effective in alleviating pain caused by migraines and chronic tension headaches. And as mentioned above, chronic fear can be a cause of migraines.
