Why should I consider hypnotherapy?

The mind and emotions play dynamic roles in health.  Research shows that negative emotion such as stress is damaging, and that positive thought processes enhance health and healing.
 

• Anxiety and stress – The tools and processes of hypnotherapy can be very useful for managing the anxieties, fears and challenges associated with the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

• Nausea – Suggestion and guided imagery can dissipate some or all of the physical or anticipated discomfort related to chemotherapy. Recorded discs can be used to enhance the overall process.

• Hot Flashes – Suggestion can be beneficial in diminishing or eliminating hot flashes.

• Pain – The management of pain is the most well-known and long-standing use of hypnosis in medicine.  Since the 1850s, hypnosis has been used with highly responsive people as the sole anesthesia during surgery.

• Surgery – Suggestion and recorded discs can be used to prepare for surgery, optimizing response to surgery and anesthesia.  Recovery can be expedited.
