Opinions about hypnosis for chronic pain?
I’ve been researching hypnosis for chronic severe pain. My father went and quit smoking for 15 years, he started back when my mom and brother started smoking. The articles I’ve read seem to think it works for some people. Anyone ever tried it?
Thanks for your professional opinion. I will try anything to get off pain meds. My pain is from a botched surgery on my wrist. I have been diagnosed with Complex regional pain syndrome. However I am under the care of a different type of specialist that thinks I may have tourniquet palsey, or nerve and tendon damage with muscle atrophy. Does this change anything.
As a certified hypnotist I can tell you that hypnosis works. It is like when you day dream; you let your conscious mind drift away, making space for your unconscious mind.
There is an area called critical mind that overlaps with your conscious and unconscious mind- in hypnosis, the critical mind is sort of by- passed in order to give you, in your case, suggestions to reduce, or even remove pain.
As I don’t know what is the reason for your chronical pain, I urge you to go to a doctor first. Pain is always a signal that cannot be ignored.
