Pain control and pain management
Chronic pain is pain that you’ve had for more than 12 weeks, and usually continues long after the original injury has healed. Pain-killers are often prescribed for chronic pain, but these often don’t help much, can have unwanted side-effects, and whatever help they do give may decrease over time. If you’ve tried everything else – what about hypnotherapy?

Pain management and control online hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy for pain management and control can help to control and reduce chronic pain.
Is it for you?
- You must have been diagnosed by a medical professional and they have prescribed or advised pain medication or pain management.
- You want to be pain-free and there’s no benefit in keeping the pain.
- You’ll need to be willing to stop doing whatever is causing the problem (and the cause might not be what you’re expecting)
- You will put into practice any aftercare advice.
- After the session, you will seek your medical professional’s advice on any issues regarding medication & ongoing diagnosis
What is the point of pain?
We all need the sensation of pain to keep us safe. It’s a powerful warning that something is wrong, and that we need to stop doing whatever we’re doing, RIGHT NOW, to stop any further damage.
But sometimes that pain hangs on, even when the right action has been taken and any necessary healing has taken place. Often there’s no physical reason for it; and if there was a physical reason for it – once you’ve done everything you can to address it, why do you still need that pain? What purpose is it serving, other than as a reminder about something you know about already? If you’ve been prescribed painkillers by your doctor to control your pain, then clearly the pain message is not needed.
By now, you might think that further pain control is impossible, that there’s nothing else you can do, and you just have to live with pain. This is when most people come to hypnotherapy.
If you’ve tried everything else for pain control, why not try hypnotherapy? It won’t do any harm, and, by now, you probably feel you haven’t much to lose. Apart from your pain, of course..
Pain and your unconscious mind
Hypnotherapy works directly with your unconscious mind to reduce and delete any of those old pain messages that are simply not needed any more. I don’t make it happen – I just act as a guide. You and your unconscious will make it happen if we all agree the pain is not helpful any more, and you do all the work.
The pain control methodology I use is very relaxing, and i think you’ll find it interesting. We’ll first talk about your pain, and what you want from your pain control hypnotherapy. Your unconscious mind will ultimately decide whether the unwanted pain serves no positive purpose. Once it understands and agrees that the pain really isn’t helpful any more, the pain might change or reduce.
Pain control: easy techniques, self-hypnosis and hypnotherapy can all help
I can also teach you self-hypnosis to control any remaining pain, and some easy techniques that can also help to manage it. If your doctor is suggesting painkillers, whatever that pain is telling you can’t be that important. Pain control hypnotherapy can help you reduce outdated unnecessary pain, or maybe even help you to let it go, so you can get on with life.
