Advantages Of The Hypnotherapy Albuquerque Patients Are Trying

By Angela Taylor


Addiction to prescription drugs has become an epidemic in this country. While there will always be people with chronic pain who can't function without strong medications, others use pills as quick fixes to try and dull the symptoms of illness and injury. There are other people who understand the dangers and risks. These individuals are much more likely to try the hypnotherapy Albuquerque specialists use to promote wellness.

Some people whose only experience with hypnotherapy, or hypnosis, has been in a nightclub, may be skeptical about the value of this technique. Experts say that truly hypnotizing people involves guiding them into a state of relaxation and then presenting suggestions to them. This is not dangerous, and you can't get stuck. You won't do anything against your will, and you won't be asleep.

At the beginning of a session, the therapist and patient discuss what their goals are for the hypnosis. After the goals have been defined, the therapist relaxes the patient using a number of techniques. Verbal images are used to prompt the patient and encourage the release of negative thoughts. The therapist brings the patient back to awareness as the session ends, and they discuss the experience.

Hypnosis is beneficial in a number of ways. It appears to be effective for debilitating conditions such as stress, depression, and chronic pain. Scientists have been studying the technique for adult and childhood IBS. Hypnosis can increase blood concentration during orthopedic surgery.

This technique has actually been used to help breast cancer survivors suffering from hot flashes caused by drugs used to prevent the recurrence of the disease. In a study, women who were hypnotized, and received instructions on hypnotizing themselves, experienced a seventy percent decrease in the number and severity of their hot flashes. Women who are hypnotized for a biopsy seem to need less sedation and experience less pain and nausea after the procedure.

Smokers who are trying to quit often turn to patches and drugs. They also have the option of hypnosis. The effectiveness of acupuncture and hypnosis to reduce nicotine dependency is currently being studied, and the results are promising.

There is an interesting study that has been done regarding weight loss and hypnosis. One group got diet advice only, The second group was hypnotized to reduce stress, and the third group was hypnotized for reducing calorie intake. All three groups lost two to three percent of their body weight during a three month period. Only the group that received hypnosis for stress saw significant weight reduction after a year and a half.

America is only now waking up to the realization that a large segment of its population is addicted to prescription drugs. Unless there is serious change on the part of the medical community, the problem will only continue to grow. Studying the benefits of alternative techniques like hypnotherapy were certainly worth the time and money it takes.
