1. Hypnosis 101- How does it Help in Pain Management? Hypnosis is the most misconceived concept and people think it's some kind of a magic that can let them lose control of their mind and make them do things that they won’t be able to recall. People picture it as an act where a hanging coin or suspended light moves back and forth, the person being hypnotized does all those things that he/she is told to do, well scratch that. Clinical hypnosis is a real thing which is effective and can be helpful in so many ways. Hypnosis isn’t a treatment in itself but it can surely make other treatments and therapies more effective, it’s a great psychological tool and medical researchers are studying and clarifying its various positive effects and benefits. Hypnosis can be amalgamated with the life coaching programand other treatments to provide a more integrated solution for the problem. What is Hypnosis? Hypnosis is a non-drug therapy that brings you in a trance-like state, it’s also referred to as hypnotherapy or hypnotic suggestion although the former term and hypnosis have significant differences yet they are used interchangeably. Hypnosis is a great treatment that can be integrated with your other therapies, as it helps you in coping up and managing different conditions like chronic pains, tension myositis syndromeand other mental issues. Hypnosis is a powerful therapy in which you get to use the power of your mind to help you make impactful changes, gain control over things, influence your body to behave in a particular manner and resist undesired behaviours. Hypnosis is done by a certified hypnotherapist or hypnotist, the expert will take you in deep relaxation state also known as a trance-like state where you let go of distractions and become more acceptable to suggestions that can help you to manage pain, anxiety, panic attacksand many other problems. Keep in mind, when I say that you’ll be more amenable to suggestions, it doesn’t mean you won't have any control over yourself and whatever is proposed to you, you’ll comply. Many of us have been in trance-like states even without being hypnotized, like when watching something on TV, reading a book, pondering over something or daydreaming. Hypnosis is a clinical treatment which has been used and abused on stage as part of entertainment, thus making it a questionable treatment. How Does Hypnosis Actually work? Hypnosis is done by an expert hypnotherapist, who makes you reach a stage of intense focus, concentration and attention. It’s done in a comfortable setting through guided and well-directed verbal recommendations, cues and propositions. When you’re in the trance-like state, the hypnotherapist will start making suggestions which are curated to achieve your treatment goals. This state makes it seem like a slumber state on the outlook but actually the person receiving it is fully aware of his/her surroundings. Due to this focused and engrossed state of mind, you are more receptive to suggestions and advice which you would probably have brushed off as something insignificant and

2. useless. TMS pain recovery program by Ralph, uses hypnosis as an important tool in their treatment. It still remains a mystery to most that hypnosis actually takes the person in a state of focus and has such powerful effects on the brain activity. It’s believed that when the person reaches the extreme attentive phase and seeds of suggestion are planted in the mind, they germinate and take root when the person is back in normal conditions. Another good reason for hypnosis to work is that, in a normal routine we have a lot of things, distractions and pressures on our mind. But during hypnosis, all those hurdles are alleviated from the mind and a clear pathway is constructed to absorb recommendations and advice. How does Hypnosis Help in Pain Management? Hypnosis is greatly effective in managing the effects of the pain on our mind and body rather than the sensation of the pain itself. Hypnosis is said to provide analgesia that makes the person more immune to pain, it makes the pain more bearable and keeps the mind of the person off from feeling the sensation of the pain. It’s kind of like training the mind and body to not concentrate much on the pain and helps in creating a barrier between the pain and its effects. Hypnosis also provide relief in many other psychological and physical problems like, insomnia, overeating, smoking addiction, pain caused by cancer, childbirth, irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, arthritis, headaches, backaches, panic attacks, phobias, post-traumatic stress and depression. Side Effects and Risks of Hypnosis Like medication and other treatments, some people achieve better results from hypnosis and some don’t achieve the desired results, but there is no harm in giving hypnosis a shot. More or less, hypnosis does impact positively on people with little to no side effects. When hypnosis is performed by a professional and trained personnel, done in a controlled environment keeping in mind the mental state and other variables, it's very safe and effective. Some people may have experienced drowsiness, headaches, situational anxiety, stress, dizziness or being delusional by generating false memories. Not everyone can have hypnosis, people with acute psychological disorders, memory loss or people who are suffering from substance abuse or alcohol must steer clear of this as it can cause them hallucinations, delusions and extreme anxiety and distress. Tethering it Together Hypnosis is a procedure many doctors aren’t really convinced with and don’t consider it as an effective way of influencing pain management. But the studies showing and proving the efficacy has many doctors change their perspective and approach. Many people feel the difference and find it helpful even after one session but it’s recommended to take at least 4-5 sessions. Due to the use of hypnosis in stage entertainment and people behaving like daring dancers and clucking chickens after a so-called hypnosis has made people sceptical about it, whereas it’s a legitimate therapeutic tool.
