CHRONIC PAIN

Pain is your body's normal reaction to an injury or illness, a warning that something is wrong. When your body heals, you usually stop hurting. But for many people, pain continues long after its cause is gone. When it lasts for 3 to 6 months or more, it's called chronic pain. When you hurt day after day, it can take a toll on your emotional and physical health.

 

Other feelings or symptoms you may experience:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Low mood

• Low self-esteem

• Lack of motivation

• Lethargy

 

How solution focused hypnotherapy can help

​

Chronic and persistent pain messages are transmitted through C Fibres in the body. Some of the pain sensations associated with these messages are throbbing, aching, burning, cold, soreness, itching, tingling and numbness. It is proven that the persistent pain messages transmitted by C Fibres can be overridden by what the brain would consider to be more important neurotransmitters. Included in these neurotransmitters are Serotonin, Noradrenaline, Endorphins and Enkephalins. When we produce a constant flow of these through Solution Focused Hypnotherapy we interrupt the pain message. In effect we gain control over the switchboard of your brain.
