Hypnotic Migraine Relief

July 31, 2010 in Articles, Health, Hypnotherapy by Noel

Hypnosis is not just an entertainer’s trick to please and amuse crowds. Hyp­no­ther­apists are helping migraineurs ease their pain. Sometimes they are even able to relieve other migraine symptoms like vomiting and sens­itivity to light and sound, too.

The hypnotist’s goal is to relax patients into a trancelike state in order to access their sub­con­scious mind. A good therapist will then place gentle sug­gestions in the sub­con­scious that will help migraineurs deal with their pain by changing how they perceive it.

Rather than focusing on pain per­ception, some hyp­no­ther­apists work with patients to learn to identify and avoid their personal migraine triggers. This can be doubly effective for migraineurs who smoke if it is one of their triggers. Hyp­no­therapy has been a recognized smoking ces­sation technique for decade.

Some patients enjoy this type of therapy so much, since it usually very relaxing, that they decide, either on their own or with the aid of a therapist, to learn self-​​hypnosis.

Hyp­no­therapy is an excellent option for patients who do not respond to tra­di­tional migraine therapies. It is a great alternative for those who are either sensitive to migraine med­ic­ations or are unable to take them for medical reasons. Hyp­no­therapy is highly recom­mended for migraineur women trying to avoid med­ic­ations during a pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Hypnosis is not magic. Patients are not under a spell or in the thrall of the person who puts them into the trance. Hyp­no­therapy is an inter­active process between therapist and patient.
