Take Control of Your Pain Naturally
Pain can be overwhelming, affecting every part of your life; from work and relationships to your emotional well-being. If you’re struggling with chronic back pain, arthritis, migraines & headaches, fibromyalgia, tinnitus or post-surgical discomfort, hypnotherapy offers a proven, natural way to help you regain control and find relief.
How Can Hypnotherapy Help?
Hypnotherapy has helped countless individuals manage their pain effectively. Hypnotherapy is a scientifically backed technique that uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help reframe your perception of pain. It works by influencing the way your brain processes pain signals, reducing discomfort and promoting relaxation. Many people find that hypnotherapy helps them reduce their reliance on pain medications while improving their overall quality of life.
Here’s the thing.....pain isn’t just physical, it’s also connected to our emotions and stress levels as well as our social environment. Hypnotherapy works on multiple levels to help you manage pain effectively through:
✔ Altering Pain Perception: Hypnotherapy helps your brain reduce the intensity of pain signals, making discomfort more manageable.
✔ Deep Relaxation: Hypnosis calms your nervous system, lowering stress levels and helping to ease muscle tension that contributes to pain.
✔ Emotional Healing: Anxiety, frustration and depression can make pain worse. Hypnotherapy addresses these emotions, helping you develop a more positive mindset.
✔ Cognitive Reframing: By shifting your thoughts and beliefs about pain, hypnotherapy helps you regain control rather than feeling like a victim of your condition.
This was Janet’s story (Grannie to 4 in the UK)
I visited my dentist with a very painful and loud clicking of my jaw when I was eating, so much so, that I had resorted to only drinking soup! My dental specialist diagnosed me as suffering from TMJD (Temporo-Mandibular Joint Dosorder). He recommended and showed me jaw exercises which I followed regularly but they didn’t relieve the awful pain. I visited a physiotherapist, on several occasions, who was an expert in this field but sadly the very painful manipulations only relieved it slightly and after a short time, I was back to square one.
Now, this is where Claire came in on the scene. When it was explained to me how the treatment worked, I was really quite sceptical. How could something so painless and on the face of it, so simple, be so transforming?
It must be 18 months now since my visit to Claire, and as yet, I still have no pain, but I would be heading straight back to her door if needed!
And for those of you who appreciate the science….it’s backed by extensive research.
Here is just a small fraction of the studies:
1. Meta-analysis of Hypnotherapy for Pain Relief (2016):
Adachi, T., Fujino, H., Nakae, A., Mashimo, T., & Sasaki, J. (2014). A meta-analysis of hypnosis for chronic pain problems: A comparison between hypnosis, standard care, and other psychological interventions. Clinical Journal of Pain, 30(6), 500–507.
This meta-analysis reviewed 18 studies and concluded that hypnotherapy significantly reduced pain intensity, especially in cases of fibromyalgia, headaches, and musculoskeletal pain.
2. Systematic Review on Hypnotherapy and Chronic Pain (2014):
Youssef, A. M., Macefield, V. G., & Henderson, L. A. (2014). Pain modulation by hypnosis: A resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging study. European Journal of Pain, 18(9), 1295–1305. Although this particular study focuses more on the neurophysiological mechanisms of pain modulation during hypnosis (using fMRI), it supports the claim that hypnotherapy can alter pain perception and improve chronic pain conditions.
3. Randomized Controlled Trial for Fibromyalgia (2017):
Zech, N., Hansen, E., Bernardy, K., & Häuser, W. (2017). Efficacy, acceptability and safety of guided imagery/hypnosis in fibromyalgia – A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. European Journal of Pain, 21(2), 217–227.
This meta-analysis reviewed randomized controlled trials and found that guided imagery and hypnosis significantly reduced pain and improved psychological outcomes in patients with fibromyalgia.
4. Hypnotherapy for Postoperative Pain (2018):
Montgomery, G. H., Schnur, J. B., & Kravits, K. (2013). Hypnosis for cancer care: Over 200 years young. CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, 63(1), 31–44.
This review includes multiple randomized controlled trials demonstrating that hypnotherapy administered before surgery significantly reduces postoperative pain, anxiety, and need for analgesics.
5. Lang, E. V., & Rosen, M. P. (2018). Cost analysis of adjunct hypnosis with sedation during outpatient interventional radiologic procedures. Pain Medicine, 19(3), 508–515.
This trial showed that hypnotherapy reduced pain, medication use, and procedural time during surgical interventions.
