Medical Uses for Hypnosis
| It
should go without saying that any tool that alleviates stress should have
a place in the treatment of medical ailments, but often this simple link
is overlooked both by those in the health professions and the patients or
clients themselves. The fact is that stress causes many of the illnesses
we struggle with in the first place, it definitely contributes to the
worsening of conditions, and it is also a by-product, if you will, of
being ill. Besides addressing this basic and very important component of
illness and disease, hypnosis has many other more direct applications in
helping people return to health through the use of visualization,
regression to the cause of the condition, learning to actually control
body processes, and other techniques.

Of course, it would take a much larger space to include a full list, but I think you can begin to see the broad scope of application for this wonderful modality. Often, when conventional treatment alone is not having the desired result, harnessing the patient’s own internal resources through the use of hypnosis will bring about the desired breakthrough. Healing is best accomplished by addressing the whole being: body, mind and spirit. Hypnosis is a direct link to accessing these other dimensions of self and should be considered in any case where there seems to be a lack of responsiveness to the standard approach.
