Hypnosis for Pain Relief


At one point or another each of us has experienced pain.Though few people actually welcome it, few would deny that it has an essential role to play in our survival. After all, without pain, we simply wouldn't be aware that tissue damage is taking place somewhere in our body and that we need to do something - fast.In any approach to pain, of course, we need to first check with a qualified doctor or other medical practitioner. It is essential that we get a proper medical evaluation of our situation and the correct treatment for any disease or injury that we may have suffered.But what if we have already done this? But what if we have already received and understood the message pain brings, done all we - and the doctor - can do and yet still the pain exists?This is the predicament faced by millions of us on a daily basis. And living with this kind of pain seriously affects the quality of life for anyone forced to experience and endure it.Generally speaking, pain may be divided into two distinct types: Acute pain and chronic pain.Acute pain is useful and indeed, essential. It informs us of what needs attention and this is the reason for its existence. It's a signal relayed from the wounded area to the brain alerting us to take action.But chronic pain is altogether different. With pain of this kind, we have already received the message and still it persists. It is ongoing and relentless. It's as if we seem to be just stuck with it.Indeed, the chronic pain generated by conditions such as rheumatism, back and shoulder pain, arthritis, migraine headaches, post surgical pain, cancer (and sometimes its treatment), fybromyalgia etc serves no useful purpose. It is unneeded for our survival.Put simply, chronic pain is useless pain.When pain outlives its usefulness it needs to be muted or silenced.Perhaps the most surprising thing is that we almost always look to ourselves last in any attempt to control our chronic pain. Yet it is within our self and our own mind that real pain relief and truly effective pain control can be found.Because we are so accustomed to looking outside of ourselves for help with pain, we seem to have a learned mind-set of helplessness when it comes to chronic pain. We have been conditioned to accept that something or someone external to ourselves is responsible for making pain go away.Understanding that we have it within our self to control pain is a major step forward in releasing its truly debilitating grip on our life.And this is the wonderful power of using hypnosis and self-hypnosis for pain relief.With properly applied hypnosis we are empowered to instruct our own mind to dramatically reduce - and in many cases totally eliminate - any pain we may be experiencing.No drugs, no apparatus, no TEMS machines are needed. Indeed, hypnosis is so powerful that it can be, and sometimes is, used instead of local or general anaesthetic in order to completely eliminate pain even in major surgery.All that's required is your mind's own innate capacities and abilities.If you or someone you care about suffers from chronic pain, there really is something you can do about it.By working with an experienced and fully qualified transformational hypnotherapist, you can learn how to control even long-standing chronic pain.Using the power of your own mind you can indeed learn to control pain - and regain control of your life.
