Hypnosis For Healing The Body And The Mind

Hypnosis for Chronic Pain And Faster Recovery From Surgery

Hypnosis has been used for more than 200 years to help people overcome various issues including Anxiety,Depression, Trauma, Phobia, Stop Smoking, Weight Issues, Addiction or Pain Management to name just a few.  

In my first Hypnotherapy Course in Melbourne at the Academy Of Hypnotic Science  (the only Government Accredited Course in Victoria) one of my class mates was an older gentleman who had decided to study Hypnotherapy in retirement after a lifelong fascination with Hypnosis.  His original interest was sparked when his father, who was a Digger (Australian Service Man)  in World Wart II told him about when the Allied Forces were running out of medical supplies in Papua New Guinea and  they had flown in Hypnotists to use Hypnosis instead of Anesethesia when operating on troops in the field. His father was one of those operated on and was very grateful to have been in the care of a Hypnotist while the surgeons operated to remove shrapnel from his wounds.  

This story added to my already growing love for Hypnotherapy as a mode of helping people overcome issues that disrupt their lives and since going on to further studies and having been in practice for several years now I've seen first hand the remarkable things that can be achieved  between a client and a properly trained therapist using Hypnotism combined with psychotherapy and counselling.

This article from the New York Times "Using Hypnosis To Gain Control Over your Illness" outlines how hypnosis can prepare patients for medical procedure as well as speed the recovery of patients after surgery by reducing (in some cases eliminating) the need for anaesthetic drugs, they estimate it would save the health system $328 per procedure if hypnosis was used in conjunction with traditional medicine during surgeries. Patients are found to recover within hours rather than days and go home much sooner than would be expected with 'conventional' anaesthesia.

More people are enjoying the benefit of Hypnosis for Chronic Pain relief too, this is one of the most rewarding aspects of my practice, to see my clients visible relief and than joy at realising they no longer have to be a prisoner to pain.
