Important Facts On Hypnotherapy Orange CA Residents Need To Know

By Joyce Gibson


Hypnotherapy is one of the modalities of alternative medicine that have been with us for centuries. Even with the advances that have taken place in mainstream medicine, the therapy has continued to be a commonly used option for many short term and long term medical conditions. The main mechanism of this technique is induction of a state of trance in the patient momentarily. If they wish to benefit from hypnotherapy orange CA residents must understand a number of things.

One of the conditions commonly managed using this method is what is termed irritable bowel syndrome, IBD. This is a chronic condition that is characterized by abdominal symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea and pain as well as psychological symptoms such as depression, anxiety and stress. The condition presents a major challenge to mainstream medicine due to the absence of an identifiable cause.

The therapy is said to be effective in reducing body weight. This is done by influencing dietary habits of the clients. Suggestions are made to a client so that they deter them from eating certain (harmful) foods and instead opt for more desirable options. Favorable foods are those that have low caloric values. A similar principle has been employed in helping smokers quit the habit.

Hypnotherapy has shown great promise in the management of anxiety and conditions that are likely to predispose to anxiety. Such may include pregnancy and labor. Proponents argue that hypnotizing mothers that are in labor greatly reduces the pain associated with the process even in the absence of medication.

There are a number of other conditions for which the therapy may be used. For instance, it has been found to be effective in the management of minor skin infections that are caused by psychological stress. Other conditions that are also aggravated by psychological stress can be managed in similar fashion with or without other treatments. These include sleep disorders, phobias, asthma and fibromyalgia among others.

The main activity during the first session is for the therapist and the client to get to know each other. The therapist takes a clinical history of the condition that requires treatment before formulating a therapy plan. They then explain to the client what is to be done and the duration that will be required. The average time needed for therapy is between four to ten sessions.

Hypnotherapy is mainly based on relaxation techniques. When the client relaxes fully, their blood pressure and pulse rate are significantly lowered. This relaxed state helps reduce pain and anxiety y as well as other emotional states. The therapist will make a number of suggestions when he patient is in a state of trance with the objective of influencing their subconscious mind.

Hypnotherapy is generally a safe procedure with very few side effects if any. Most of the persons that administer it are healthcare professionals who may include doctors, dentists and psychologists among others. Hypnotherapists are persons that have special training to offer the therapy. Ensure your your provider is licensed to provide the service.
