Headache Pain Relief with Hypnotherapy
Posted on March 13, 2009 - Filed Under Arts and Entertainment
In this article a leading British hypno-psychotherapist explains how hypnosis can be used to effectively treat both cluster and tension headaches, leaving you free to enjoy your life.
For so many of us, headaches are something that we experience from time to time.
Usually they just fade away after a fairly brief period and then they are gone, with no real damage done.
Chronic headaches, however, ones that recur with regularity can really interfere with our healthy functioning, affecting our relationships and work life and seriously compromising us in so many areas of our existence.
It’s essential to realise that any severe headache that lasts for 24 hours or longer – or one that is accompanied by a blurring of the vision or nausea and vomiting – means that you need to visit your doctor immediately.
Generally speaking, there are two different kinds of headache – tension and cluster. (Migraine is something different and will be dealt with in a separate article.) Speaking from a strictly medical perspective, the actual cause of both these types of headache is unknown.
Often though, tension headaches are exactly what the name suggests. They appear to be triggered by tension and stress, anxiety and emotional discomfort.
Food sensitivities can also play a part in the onset of this kind of headache, as can poor posture, bright light, menstrual periods and even the weather.
Painkillers such as aspirin, paracetamol and ibuprofen can often help with the milder kind of headache, but the body can easily become habituated to these pharmaceuticals, greatly reducing their effectiveness.
Also, withdrawal headaches can occur when these substances are withdrawn.
Cluster headaches also sometimes appear to be triggered by such things as alcohol, odours and changes in temperature. Of course, they can just as simply appear with no clear and apparent reason at all.
This particular kind of headache just doesn’t respond well to over the counter medication. Drugs available on a doctor’s prescription include Sumatriptan and Ergotamine, but these powerful pharmaceuticals, like most others, can have considerable side-effects.
How much better it would be if we were able to access our own inner ability to manage headaches, rather than having to depend on some external chemical substance for relief.
And it is here that modern hypnotherapy can be or real assistance and value.
With expertly delivered modern hypnotherapy your own subconscious mind can be taught to manage headaches without recourse to external medications and drugs. Through advanced transformational hypnotherapy you can learn to transform any headache into an insubstantial vapor that you can simply and easily exhale, leaving you free to continue on with a clear and untroubled mind.
In hypnosis you can learn to recognise the headache triggers before they occur – and then do something about them. You can learn to reverse the processs that generates the headache , and in so doing regain real control.
No headache really needs to be allowed to ruin your day or affect your enjoyment of it.
With advanced transformational hypnotherapy you can put an end to the pain and inconvenience of headaches and move on with your life.
