"CHANGE BY HYPNOSIS" |
Hypnosis may be the oldest pain reliever known to humans.
Prior to the discovery of ether and chloroform, it was the routinely used as anesthesia for major surgery by
several British and Scottish Physicians. In the US, in the early 1900’s the Mayo Brothers successfully used
hypnosis to reduce the amount of anesthesia (75 to 90% less than usual) in more than 17,000 deep
abdominal surgical procedures to eliminate “death by anesthesia”.
To understand how hypnosis reduces and eliminates pain, it helps to understand that pain is a complex
experience. Pain is a combination of body and mind factors, which includes experience, expectation,
attitude, and perception.
When we think “pain” we usually mean “acute pain”. A pin prick…a paper cut…a car door slammed on the
fingers…the sudden splash of scalding coffee or grease…the slash of a slipped paring knife…this kind of
sudden, unanticipated, intense tissue damage results in intense, immediate pain that stimulates immediate
withdrawal of the body part receiving the abuse.
Surgery, dental procedures, and giving birth are other examples of acute pain.
Even if the acute pain you experience is sheer agony, this type of pain has usually has a short duration, and,
afterward, it is replaced with a “slower” aching pain, which usually gradually disappears as healing takes
place.
Acute pain is defined as being related directly to tissue damage and lasts less than 3 to 6 months.
Chronic Pain is long term (more than six months) discomfort that may or may not have an identifiable
source, Arthritis, Chronic Back Pain, Fibromyalgia, and Neuropathic Pain (in which the nervous system
generates numbness, tingling, or stabbing pain without a determinable cause)– are a few familiar examples.
The longer pain lasts, the more susceptible it is to influences that complicate the situation. Physical
breakdown due to lack of exercise, tension, emotional state, perceptions, expectations, depression, anxiety,
and other secondary issues have a powerful effect on the individual pain experience.
Immediate pain is only a third of the Chronic Pain Experience: The reason these influences are so powerful
is because Chronic Pain is not just the present experience. It is influenced by memories of past pain and
fears of future pain.
The immediate pain stimuli are only the middle third of the whole feeling. And, that assumes that we have
separated pain from other emotional, psychological, time-related, even superstitious interpretations, like
guilt, penance, and destiny.
Nothing increases pain like the anticipation of pain in the near future, and when the memory of the same of
similar pain from the past is added, the future becomes even more frightening.
Hypnosis reduces pain from many directions and perspectives:
Scientific studies proving the effectiveness of hypnosis as a pain relievers go back hundreds of years, to
ancient sleep temples. They are still being done in research labs all over the world. Although the exact
mechanisms through which hypnosis works its “magic” still haven’t been completely defined, the results
continue to be reliable.
The most effective surgical success consists of a pre-operative preparation, an operative maintenance
phase, and a post-operative phase.
And, the most powerful function of hypnosis is that it can be used in conjunction with any other treatment
because it is totally natural and without any side effects. As the Mayo Clinic discovered a hundred years
ago, this means less medication is necessary, and therefore, fewer side effects are experienced, when
meds are used.
Two CD’s….”UltraRelaxation” and “Use Your Mind to Heal Faster” have had excellent results at reducing
discomfort and speeding healing for quite a number of people. (For more information on these CD's, Click

Hypnosis reduces pain from many directions and perspectives:
- Hypnotic relaxation automatically reduces pain by about a third because a large part of pain is
due to tension produced by your attempt to control the pain. As soon as you relax, pain
automatically lessens.
Hypnosis can displace pain or allow pain to be reinterpreted as pressure, giving you a greater
sense of control.
Hypnotic suggestions can relieve or reduce the symptoms.
Hypnosis can speed healing of wounds and broken bones.
Hypnosis can induce amnesia to eliminate the memory of past pain.
Hypnosis can numb or disassociate the part experiencing discomfort.
Hypnosis can create time distortion to lengthen the perceived time span of comfort and reduce
the perceived time span of discomfort.
Under hypnosis, Brain Scans show the brain interrupting the firing of the nervous system to
prevent pain impulses.
Hypnosis also has been shown to cause secretions of the body’s natural pain relievers.
