Trauma-Informed Hypnotherapy for Pain

$129.99 Standard

Trauma doesn’t just leave behind emotional pain--  it can also manifest as physical pain in the form of headaches, pelvic pain, back pain, fibromyalgia, and irritable bowel syndrome. These conditions often baffle doctors and leave clients feeling even more helpless and hopeless. Clinical hypnosis can be a highly effective tool for relieving pain in trauma survivors. Learn a trauma-informed approach you can use to safely elicit hypnosis; apply techniques to relieve pain and restore an internal sense of safety; and create a greater sense well-being and empowerment in your clients. You may even experience your own transformative trance with demonstrations and activities that show you how to: 

  • Safely guide clients into hypnotic states and effectively frame suggestions 
  • Use hypnotic techniques that increase feelings of safety and comfort in the body 
  • Create hypnotic suggestions to instill hope, relieve pain, and empower clients 
  • Resolve subconscious beliefs that may be maintaining pain responses
