We Can Help With ... Medical Conditions

For many medical conditions, stress and lifestyle are either causes or contributors to the severity. Depending on the nature of the condition, hypnotherapy can help alleviate the symptoms.

Before considering hypnotherapy treatments for any medical issue, you should first consult your GP.

The brain communicates with the body through impulses in nerves and the use of hormones and chemicals. The subconscious mind, as outlined in How it Works, can influence these messages, either positively to alleviate pain or negatively to increase the effect of symptoms.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), for example, is not a disease but a functional disorder in which the nerves and muscles of the bowel are extra-sensitive. The subconscious mind can dictate some of the messages between the brain and these nerves and muscles. Hypnotherapy can help to ensure that the subconscious mind sends signals that alleviate the pain and discomfort, rather than adding to it.

On a similar note, a stressed mind can cause medical conditions. So using Hypnotherapy and NLP & EFT from Transformation Hypnotherapy & NLP to reduce stress can lead to improvements in health, particularly if the therapy is focused on particular types of subconscious messages or a medical condition.

Hypnotherapy can also be used for pain relief, but only after a professional diagnosis of the cause of the pain has been given. By controlling the messages submitted by the subconscious mind, you can learn to;

  • Alleviate the feelings of pain, either from an ongoing medical condition or post-operative.
  • Reduce or remove the need for anaesthesia, especially for dental work or where there is a fear of needles or an allergy to the medication.
