Mind and body dynamics
"medical hypnosis"

I have often said to doctor “what can I do to help your patient?”

In my old profession of Pharmacy I would frequently hear the statement “doctor said, I just have to live with it!” or it may have been the words “just stress, nothing wrong with you – again just live with it or relieve it” Or it may be – “find someone to help your stress!” I reckon I can do just that and improve you quality of life – even learning to cope with pain and discomfort, lessening to the point where you can ignore it. Remember pain is a sign that something isn’t right inside, so you are still aware of your limitations.

It means reinforcing the help my client is already receiving from other professionals – such a common occurrence, which I term “complementary health and healing.”

My belief is that there is really a lot I have to offer in this field that is generally not well known, or appreciated.

WHAT SORT OF PRESENTING PROBLEMS CAN BENEFIT BY THE HYPNOTIC APPROACH?

As many people believe that Hypnosis is just for quitting smoking habit, beating such binges as drinking and, or comfort eating, nail biting plus many other habits, fears and phobias which are the most common presenting problems, especially heights or reptiles; there are many other issues that can benefit from my help.

In fact I have over the years witnessed many people where it’s  more than just the client’s progress but lessening the need to visit doctor so often, even by learning preventive measures that reduce the national health spending in the longer term that would otherwise have needed  lots of medical expense.

THESE ARE THE OBVIOUS BENEFITS TO HEALTH THAT ARE WIDELY KNOWN.

I emphasize strongly, only where it is in the realm of my field, otherwise I refer on to appropriate therapy.

THE LESSER KNOWN WHERE HYPNOTIC INTERVENTION IS USEFUL

What about –

The white coat syndrome – fear of doctor’s visit especially for the blood pressure check – does it not go up by a worry thought and can you learn to have a measure of control?

Fear of medical and dental procedures especially epidural or just injections generally.

When preparation for an operation with a more relaxed and confident attitude is needed to learn to cope much more easily plus encouraging a more speedy recovery.

Relaxed breathing and other techniques can help the sufferer of asthma and other ailments.

While there are lots of documented reports some I have not experienced in my practice as yet e.g. – mind power to assist the healing, recovery from burns.

Among the skin complaints Psoriasis is the one I’ve helped sufferers with both the hypnotic approach and suggestion of natural measures such as wise/safe use of sunlight – even a holiday and sea water many know about!

Frequently nervous tension is involved with tummy and bowel complaints including the common ones – flatulence, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and indigestion.

WITH MY WORK BY RELIEVING FEAR AND WORRY THAT EXACERBATE MANY AILMENTS THEN THE BODY IS GIVEN A BETTER CHANCE TO BE RECEPTIVE TO MEDICAL HELP.

A HEALTHY POSITIVE ATTITUDE IS SO IMPORTANT – SO OFTEN PEOPLE FOCUS ON SICKNESS RATHER THAN WELLNESS.
