Oct. 2007

It's October 1 and this is the 1st E-Zine to be released from The Center For Faster Healing With Hypnosis. We hope you enjoy it.

In this month's issue you can read about the top 2 questions we get asked at Ask About Medical Hypnosis as well as read about some upcoming informational lectures on Medical Hypnosis:

• What is Medical Support Hypnotherapy?
• Why Do I Have to Get My Doctor Involved?
• Upcoming Lectures and Workshops

What is Medical Support Hypnotherapy?
In short, it is the application of hypnosis to medical problems. We commonly think of hypnosis begin used to help people stop biting their nails, or to gain greater confidence, or to lose their fear of flying. But the very same principles and techniques of hypnosis can be used to help people heal medical conditions, make life style changes recommended by their doctor, or to undergo challenging medical tests.

For example, people who are claustrophobic have a difficult time dealing with MRI tests because it involves reclining in a small metal tube for some length of time. Sometimes they may even panic at the mere thought of having to do an MRI test. After a couple of hypnosis sessions and practicing simple self-hypnosis techniques at home, such a person can have an MRI completely without difficulty. Another similar example is a person who is afraid of the dentist can be helped immensely with hypnosis.

People preparing for surgery can use hypnotic techniques to spend less time in the hospital, use less drugs, have minimal bleeding, and overall heal faster than those not using hypnosis.

The power of the mind to heal the body is immense. Medical issues such as warts, allergies, asthma, IBS, Fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and many more can all be helped with hypnosis. Major surgery with a hypnotic trance as the only form of anesthesia has been successfully done with people who can not tolerate drugs or chemicals. Feel free to browse through the pages of Center For Faster Healing With Hypnosis for more information.

It should be noted that Medical Support Hypnotherapy is NOT the practice of medicine and we only see clients for medical issues who have been given an OK by their medical doctor. We work as an adjunct to the medical care that you receive from your doctor.

Why Do I Have to Get My Doctor Involved?
Suppose, for example, you come to us with a complaint of migraine headaches and we use hypnosis to give you relief from those headaches without asking you to see your doctor first. And suppose that, unbeknownst to us, those headaches are a symptom of a rapidly growing brain tumor. What we have done, then, is to take away your only symptoms of a major, serious, and life threatening medical condition. That would not be a good situation for you. And it wouldn't not be good for us because we would be practicing medicine without a license. Therefore, we always require our clients to see their doctor first, and if their doctor agrees that hypnosis would help, we will gladly work as an adjunct to the care that you receive from your doctor.

For those of you who have doctors who may be less inclined, for whatever reason, to consider prescribing hypnotherapy, we can set it up for your doctor to have a physician to physician consultation with Dr. Robert Sapien, M.D., creator of the International Registry of Medical Support Hypnotherapists, of which we are a member. He will gladly discuss the benefits of Medical Support Hypnotherapy with your doctor.
