Chronic Pain

‘One in 5 people will experience  chronic pain throughout their life which affects their health, family and their day to day living’ (Bupa).

If your are in the Albury, Wodonga & The  Riverina region hypnosis may be able to reduce your suffering and improve your quality of life. Many studies have shown the positive effects hypnosis can have by reducing the many forms of pain. Hypnotherapy can reduce the intensity and level of suffering that pain causes so you can become more comfortable, relaxed and to be able to do more of the things you enjoy with less of the suffering that chronic pain had caused. Many in the Albury Wodonga area struggle to access services for chronic pain issues and disorders, with may travelling to try and get treatment.

Albury and Wodonga has an increased prescription pain medication crisis, causing addiction issues and less doctors are prescribing medications due to addiction.

Most pain is treated with medication when you visit a GP. Many of these medications are narcotics which may temporarily relieve pain but quickly the body builds a tolerance, requiring more of the medication over time.

This can lead to complicated health issues and serious long term side effects including which can have negative impacts on all areas of your health. Also many are unaware of how addictive these medications can be until they have been on them for a long time. Hypnotherapy can also assist in reducing the effects of withdrawals.

How does hypnosis help you with chronic pain?

Hypnosis can help in a variety of ways in managing and reducing chronic pain. Aside from the natural relaxing effects hypnosis provides (which also aid in pain reduction) specific strategies can be employed to teach you to reduce and manage your pain intensity. These are all based on the most recent research on how pain affects the mind and body and the interventions which target this, quickly and effectively. Most people begin to get relief in 1 to 3 sessions, with more complex issues needing up to 12. However, these people often go on to have reduced symptoms and some being even symptom free. Please note: hypnosis is not a cure, it is a management tool to reduce and manage the severity of chronic pain/

Some conditions affecting the Albury, Wodonga and Riverina area which I can help with are:

• Back pain
• Arthritis
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• Fibromyalgia
• Joint Pain
• Migraine
• Bruxism and TMJ dental conditions

The techniques and strategies employed use a combination of hypnosis, NLP, Mindfulness and all integrate the leading edge research into neuroplasticity which change and modify the way the brain and body perceive and interact with pain. There are no side effects and people begin to feel better from the first and second session onwards as we build for a greater future. These are taught to be used outside of sessions which give you the tools to continue empowering yourself and living the life you want to live
