RESOLVE CHRONIC PAIN WITH HYPNOSIS

Chronic pain persists for at least six months. It can be physical, mental or emotional, or combinations of all three. It might be associated with a wound or amputated limb, anxiety, depression, PTSD, cancer, atrophying muscles, alcoholic excessiveness, taking opioids as a last resort, or cultural and sociological factors. It can be caused by a limitless array of experiences, messages and influences in our lives that, through repetition (or, sometimes, one powerful event) take hold as habits in our subconscious mind.
 
Hypnosis, which is a natural, safe, altered state of consciousness, enables us to bypass the conscious mind and connect completely with the subconscious mind, where our entire life is recorded. By working with the subconscious mind, we can gain a complete understanding of  everything that contributed to and reinforced chronic pain taking hold. Disconnecting the influence of  those “roots of the problems,” replacing them with new, positive expectations and beliefs, and reinforcing them in our subconscious mind enables them to become the new “free of chronic pain” habit. While doing that, it is important to think of chronic pain as something that needs to be resolved, but also as a symptom of what caused it to become habitual.
 
Experts in many fields strongly support the power of the mind-body connection to both create and cure habits, including chronic pain. Bruce Lipton, Ph.D, has devoted his life-long research toepigenetics: the study of genes created by things outside of the DNA sequence, which results in “your thoughts and perceptions having a direct and overwhelmingly significant affect on cells.Your mind can and does contribute to both the cause and healing of whatever ails you – including cancer.” Neuroscience recognizes that the subconscious mind controls 95% of our lives.
 
Dr. John E. Sarno dedicated his medical practice to working with people with back pain. He wrote two books about his findings and beliefs: Mind Over Back Pain” and “Healing Back Pain – The Mind-Body Connection. Through case histories and mind-body research, Dr Sarno describes  how patients recognize the emotional roots of their back pain and sever the connections between mental and physical pain. His program helped thousands of patients overcome their back conditions – without drugs or surgery.
 
Louise Hay, in her book You Can Heal Your Life. which “has sold over 38 million copies world-wide, suggests that pain is often associated with guilt. By releasing the guilt, one can release the pain.
 
Dr David Spiegel, M.D. ofthe Stanford University School of Medicine in Palo Alto, California noted: “It has taken us a century and a half to rediscover the fact that the mind has something to do with pain and can be a powerful tool in controlling it…It is now abundantly clear that we can retrain the brain to reduce pain.
