Clinical hypnotherapy is an interesting adjunct to medical practice.
I am a family doctor and a certified hypnotherapist.
In the past years I have been implementing clinical hypnosis as an adjunct to my medical practice.
I truly believe that medications are not the only answer to all the aches and pains suffered by people in this world.
History has shown us that medications may have various side-effects and should only be used when the potential benefits outweigh the associated risks.
Clinical hypnotherapy offers an interesting alternative to pharmacological solutions in chronic debilitating problems.
The fundamental principal of clinical hypnotherapy is that most answers and solutions to chronic problems lie within the subconscious mind of every individual.
Clinical hypnotherapy is not the universal solution to all medical problems, far from it.
For instance, if I had a car accident and suffered multiple bone fractures, I would certainly want the best orthopedist available to take care of my broken bones.
The real question here is: what alternative is there in the case of chronic pain or problems when traditional medicine has nothing more to offer? Clinical hypnotherapy has been widely studied in such problems as irritable bowel syndrome, asthma, eczema and insomnia and has provided effective, permanent solutions to such debilitating problems.
Over the years, clinical hypnotherapy has provided interesting solutions to rather unsolvable medical problems.
Many great clinical hypnotherapists are neither doctors, dentists nor psychologists and yet they have left their mark in clinical hypnotherapy.
Many great clinical hypnotherapists, both those working today and those since passed on, have influenced my practice and made a great impression on me.
I want to share with you here how some of the great hypnotherapists have influenced my practice and convinced me that most solutions to important health problems lis within every human being's subconscious mind.
Paul Durbin has been a clinical hypnotherapist in a hospital setting for many decades and taught me the wisdom that you have to work with the client's strength.
For example, he jokes about "cheating to make his clients win" as he gives the example of observing their responses to simple suggestions.
Hence, upon doing the script of heavy and light hands scenario where a person with the eyes closed receives the suggestion of having a hand heavier than the other one, he observes the client's natural position to begin with.
This way, if a person has already a hand that tends to go down even before the exercise starts, that will be the one hand which gets the suggestion of being heavier.
Does this make clinical hypnotherapy a deception, lying to the client? Not at all! Clinical hypnotherapy is just a simple way of empowering people to believe in their own strength which is the absolute truth.
If fast acting chemical solutions were not so readily available, most problems would be solved by one's personal inner strength.
The side effects of such a way of getting rid of chronic problems could only be positive, such as increased self-confidence and a stronger sense that the answer lies within one's own power.
The power of hypnosis is as vast as the human imagination.
