Advantages Of The Hypnotherapy Albuquerque Patients Are Trying

By Angela Taylor


The number of Americans addicted to prescription drugs has reached epic proportions. While these drugs are life savers for patients with debilitating pain, others use them to treat the symptoms of illness or disease long after the health issue has been resolved. There are other people, sensitive to the risks, who avoid drugs and turn to more natural methods like the hypnotherapy Albuquerque therapists use for promoting 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.

A session begins with a discussions between the therapist and the patient about expectations. Once the expectations are defined, the therapist relaxes the patient using the most appropriate techniques. The patient is guided through each session using verbal images that encourage the patient to release repressed negativity. Returning the patient to a state of awareness and discussing the experience ends each session.

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.

One study that has had surprising results involves the loss of weight and hypnosis. The study was comprised of three groups. The first had the benefit of weight loss counseling only. The second set of individuals were hypnotized in order to reduce stress only. The final group was also hypnotized, but the focus for them was calorie reduction. The three groups lost the same amount of body weight, two to three percent, over the ninety day period. After a year and a half only the group that was hypnotized to reduce stress saw a significant weight reduction.

It seems to have taken the problem of prescription drug addiction to get to the level of an epidemic for America to wake up to the crisis. It is going to take effort on the part of the medical community and those caught up in the disease of addiction to embrace alternative solutions to drugs. It certainly seems to be worth the time and money necessary to study the benefits of non-invasive techniques like hypnotherapy and acupuncture.
