Pain Relief
Long before ether and other
anesthetics were
discovered, a Scottish surgeon successfully used hypnosis on his
patients before operating on them. The result was that he
reduced the mortality rate from 75% to 5%. Unfortunately
hypnosis was replaced with drugs which worked faster (although
with far more possible serious side effects).
The Mind and Body are closely
connected and it is important that they communicate effectively
in order to achieve maximum health.
Controlled
experimental studies have proved that people using hypnotherapy
to help them to overcome illnesses recover more quickly than
others using placebo or no additional traditional treatment.
Sometimes there is no physical
reason why a person should be in pain - doctors will tell their
patients there is nothing wrong but the patient continues to
experience headaches, migraine, muscular cramp, menstrual pain,
etc.
I'd like to share my personal
experience with you if you're willing to read on.
For many years I suffered from
debilitating migraine attacks which would keep me in a dark
bedroom for as long as 3 days, without food - the tiniest sips
of water were often thrown up shortly after daring to take a
sip.
The migraines were so bad that
my specialist recommended the strongest drug available
(eventually) - at that time they cost £23 per tablet - or would
have done if I had to pay privately for them. I was
allowed only 6 tablets a month but my migraines were far more
frequent than that.
I had only just trained as a
Hypnotherapist but didn't think at that time to work out for
myself why these migraines were happening.
One night I decided to use
ideomotor techniques to communicate with my subconscious mind.
I guess I'm a good hypnotic subject because it seemed to work
instantly.
It turned out that I used a
headache as an excuse to get out of some naughty behavior when I
was 6 or 7. It worked at the time - so I used that excuse
again and guess what - (be careful what you wish for).
Once the cause of my migraine
was discovered I was able to rationalize it in my own mind.
After that I experienced 2 minor migraine attacks within 3 years
(both in situations that I wanted to avoid). Since then
(touch wood) - 4 years later I have been totally free from that
awful nightmare.
