So, why Hypnosis?
Why not? It's the least invasive treatment available in the world today.
- You get to be an active part in healing yourself and creating change in your life.
- There are no drugs there are NO side effects.
- There is no need to re-live and dissect every painful event of your life.
- Best of all, it gets AMAZING results.
In January of 2003 the AMA Journal of Medicine reported that 66% of Americans utilize "complementary medicine", most paying "out of pocket". The NIH (National Institutes of Health) has even added an entire division to discerning the efficacy of alternative and complementary therapies.
Hypnosis is not hocus pocus, or occult mysticism. It is a remarkable way to access the subconscious mind and create change in your life.
Hypnosis is very helpful with many issues:
* Smoking Cessation * Weight Loss
* Fibromyalgia * Irritable Bowel Syndrome
* Multiple Sclerosis * Concentration and Learning
* Stress Reduction * Uncontrollable Fears
* Trouble sleeping * Memory Improvement
* Headaches and Migraines * Exercise Motivation
* Fear of enclosed spaces * Asthma
* Immune System Boosting * Nail Biting
* Fear of Needles * Fear of Medical Procedures
* Wound Healing
Hypnosis often acheives remarkable results, even when every other method fails.
I first became interested in Hypnosis in the late 80s when I realized that the biggest reason some people didn't heal well after surgery was that they were holding some form of emotion at the sugery site. I began looking for a simple, effective way to release pent up emotion without going deeply into the realm of psychology. So, I did a little research. I liked what I found and continued to look around. I experienced hypnosis for the first time in 94, and was amazed at what it could do. I continued my sporadic research, and finally found Katherine Zimmerman in early 2004. I finished my training in 2005, and have begun offering hypnosis to interested clients.
Chronic pain changes everything about your life.
Ordinarily, when we receive a pain stimulus, our body produces endorphins to help fight the pain. Recent studies have shown that in patients with Chronic Pain, the body reduces the amount of pain fighting endorphins it produces, eventually producing none at all. This reaction to chronic pain has often been confused with developing a "drug tolerance", and as a result, long term chronic pain is often seriously undermedicated. Any client who wishes to use Hypnosis as a way to control Chronic Pain must have a medical referral.
Depression can easily set in when you live with chronic pain. While many of my clients see me for Chronic Pain, Hypnosis can also help significantly with Fibromyaliga, and IBS. With both conditions, the success rate is 85% or more. The work is interesting and rewarding, and I'm really enjoying it.
Remember that EVERY DRUG on the market has a price to pay in side effects. Side effects can range from mild to murderous depending on the drug and the disease. Sometimes the positive effects are worth it, sometimes they are not. What medications to take and when should be always be discussed with your Doctor.
If you have, or suspect you have a serious disease or other medical condition, please discuss all treatment options with your doctor. Hypnosis can significantly reduce chronic pain. However, it is NOT a replacement for proper medical diagnosis and care.
