A good visualization from hypnosis for abdominal pain

Hypnosis for abdominal pain works very effectively. Especially when it comes to chronic abdominal pain. It is already used in many hospitals and is the number one therapy when children experience chronic abdominal pain. I too had a young man suffering from this the other day and this is what I did....

Hypnosis for abdominal pain

When you experience abdominal pain it can have several causes. If it persists then of course the first step is to go to the doctor. He may already find something and then you can go on your merry way.

When the doctor finds nothing then you arereferred to the hospital and pictures are taken. Then at some point when they can't find anything at all, hypnotherapy comes around the corner.

Hypnotherapy for abdominal pain

Hypnotherapy is the No. 1 treatment method for children with chronic abdominal pain. The "normal" course of hypnotherapy for this type of complaint consists of a course of about 6 sessions or 1 session and then continuing with CDs. In more than 80% of children this works perfectly.

Personally, I always think that things can be done faster, and so the other day I had a boy in my practice who had been having abdominal pain for months. A very bright boy, was in grammar school, was 12 years old and doing very well in school. Indeed, he was doing very well because he had not been to school for weeks. His stomach was bothering him way too much.

After an introductory talk, we got into hypnosis. He went into hypnosis very well and in a deep state of hypnosis I used the EV technique. This technique allows you to release emotions without feeling them.

I was convinced this would work well for him and it did. After 1 treatment, the pain was gone.

The sequel

We kept in touch and it turned out that the pain was partially returning and shifting to his head. I had also taught him how to do it himself and subconsciously he did, because when we wanted to schedule a follow-up I got an email that it was no longer necessary and his mother posted this message in one of the facebook groups:

Guys, just a quick note to give Edwin Selij a feather! He has achieved fantastic results with my son Frank. Frank just turned 12 and is in first grade. Has had huge stomach pains for months, causing him to miss almost half the school year. First 's a few hours, later whole days and from mid-January no school for 8 weeks.

Everything doctored. Regular, family doctor, hospital, pediatrician, trials, alternative, psychic, etc. etc. etc. Until the pediatrician said to us: Very often abdominal pain in children is psychological. 4 out of 5 times we find no physical obstacles/causes. You could then possibly consider hypnotherapy, which all hospitals do, etc.

At that point, I just didn't tell the pediatrician that I had heard of hypnotherapy. So bizarre that you help clients every day, but then really just don't think about it with your own child....

Well, now that we had hypnosis already in mind, we thought it would be a good idea not to wait for all the research results and let Frank take weeks off, but to make a quick phone call to Wormerveer. Hypnotizing one's own child with real complaints, I just can't do that. Comes too close.

Well - 1 session. Edwin, I wasn't there, but from Frank's story I gathered that it included the EV technique. We got back a different child less than 1.5 hours later. The pain was about 60% less for several weeks, but more importantly, Frank also gained more and more confidence in his own power to help himself further. Thus, the pain became less and less. And now, now 3 weeks on, we have actually decided that a 2nd session is not necessary. He hasn't been bothered by anything for a few days now!

ISN'T THAT FANTASTIC? We had been fairly distraught since September.
Thanks Edwin!

Hypnosis for chronic abdominal pain

Hypnosis works very powerfully and often in as little as 1 session. Surely it is great when you can help people in that way. What else I taught him is the following.

In hypnosis I said to him, 'Imagine the abdominal pain as a churning river and every time that river gets wild then turn it into a calm stream. Can you do that? He nodded yes.

That's what I taught his unconscious and that, along with the EV technique, has worked wonders.
