Basics Relating To Hypnosis Therapy Temecula Clients Should Know

By Stephen Wilson


Hypnosis or hypnotherapy is a treatment modality that is offered by inducing a state of trance. It has been promoted widely as being effective for the management of varied chronic medical conditions. There is, however, no scientific basis to support mist of the claims that have been made. Still, a good number of people have reported improving after undergoing the treatment. If they wish to undergo hypnosis therapy Temecula residents need to understand some important fundamentals beforehand.

One of the conditions that is managed using this method is irritable bowel syndrome (or IBS). This is a problem that mainly affects the digestive tract and is characterized by symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, nausea and diarrhea or constipation. It may also lead to some systemic symptoms such as stress, depression and anxiety. Hypnotherapy is usually used alongside other therapies when prescribed for IBS.

Hypnotherapy is increasingly being used for weight loss. The therapist makes suggestions to the client that are aimed at influencing their lifestyle. For instance, they may ask them to imagine themselves having lost half of their body weight and achieving a better shape. This mental picture stays with the client long after they have left the clinic and inspires them to work harder towards their target.

Hypnotherapy is showing a lot of promise in the management of anxiety disorders as well as conditions that are likely to cause anxiety. Relaxation, the first step in the treatment, is an effective way of helping anxious persons to concur their fears. One form of anxiety that appears to respond particularly well is post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD. Pregnancy and labor are equally responsive.

There are many other conditions for which the treatment is being tried. Minor skin conditions such as those that are exacerbated by stress are among the commonest indications where it is offered alongside other treatments. By relieving the stress, it is believed that the symptoms will also subside. Other indications include fibromyalgia, phobias, insomnia and asthma among others.

The therapists will first take a detailed history of your condition and then subject you to a physical examination so have an idea of what you are suffering from. The next important step is to explain to you what they intend to do and the number of sessions which will be needed in your specific case. Adults will show a positive response after four to ten sessions while children will exhibit the same after one or two sessions.

The hypnotherapist teaches you how to relax your body when you experienced symptoms associated with a particular disease. There will be changes in your blood pressure, heart rate as well as your brain activity. He will then make suggestions that will take you into a state of trance. More suggestions aimed at raising your threshold for pain or overcoming fear are then made repeatedly. One session typically lasts for 30 minutes to one hour.

Hypnotherapist is largely safe and is slowly but steadily being accepted into mainstream medicine. Some of the professionals that offer it include medical doctors, dentists and psychologists. In some countries, there are professionals who train specifically in this field and are known as hypnotherapists. Ensure that the therapist that you chose to administer the treatment is licensed to do so. Before going for the treatment, also see to it that a proper diagnosis of your problem is made.
