Alleviating Pain
Hypnosis has been used by doctors as an alternative to anaesthetic and there are many documented cases of operations being carried out, with no other form of pain relief. However, caution needs to be exercised when treating pain with hypnosis. It is the body’s first line of defence and the alarm system to alert the mind, to potential problems within the body. By tampering with this, you risk leaving a disease undiagnosed and untreated.
Always ensure that a medical professional has investigated the root cause of your pain and provided their informed consent before using hypnosis to alleviate or mask pain.
Worry / Discomfort
In the unlikely event that you experience any discomfort or are worried about any aspect of hypnosis, seek professional medical advice before continuing to use this App. A professional will be able to allay any fears and confirm whether it is safe to proceed.
It may help to know, that hypnosis engages the imagination and although hypnosis can make ideas and suggestions feel very real, you are always in control of your imagination, and you can stop at any time.
You can never get stuck in hypnosis or your imagination, but it can be nice to day dream and time can pass when you enjoying pleasant thoughts.
Repressed Emotions
It is human nature to suppress painful or traumatic experiences and emotions. This is a protective mechanism designed to help the person recover faster. When first entering Hypnosis, the mind may release such latent emotions, bringing them to the surface. If this happens, allow yourself to recognise that this is part of a natural and valid healing process.You may have heard it being referred to as a “Cathartic release” and it is the mind’s way of creating closure. If you have any concerns, or the levels of emotions you experience are particularly uncomfortable, seek the advice of a suitably qualified hypnotist or psychologist who will guide you through any unresolved mental discomfort.
