People often associate hypnotism with mind control, similar to those being performed by magicians on stage. But this does not actually reflect the reality of what hypnotherapy is. Hypnotherapy is a type of therapy for treating several illnesses including fibromyalgia. Does hypnotherapy for fibromyalgia work?
What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is the process in which a trained hypnotherapist teaches a patient to stay in a state of deep relaxation. It refers to a state of more than just being relaxed, closer to an altered state of consciousness. In this state, patients may be more susceptible to suggestions. This gives them a much deeper access to their subconscious mind. During this state, hypnotherapists train people to control the physical responses of their body.
If you have fibro from an emotional disturbance or trauma, try Havening Technique, which is a type of hypnotherapy or at least a m8ndset alteration. It worked for me from the 1st session. The burning heat in my affected area was calmed almost within an hour of the process. Now, I’m not saying it’s a cure but it did make life more manageable for me and has worked for some cases of PTSD.
