Pain relief with hypnosis

In what ways can you all combat pain with hypnosis? I am frequently asked that question and I always answer, "A lot. But then how many?

Pain relief with hypnosis

There are quite a few ways to indeed resolve pain. Certainly you can do a lot with hypnosis. For example, with a formal induction you can numb the pain, you can go back to the moment to where it started and transform it or in a conversation resolve it.

All of these things are possible and are also very easy to learn. Take a look below at a video made during the Nijmegen four-day event how easy it is.

Simple right?

You may think it can't be done so easily or that you need a particular gift to be able to do it. Nothing could be further from the truth. They are fairly simple techniques that anyone can learn and so can you.

First of all, all techniques consist of certain principles. With pain, we dissect 4 principles from these.

Those principles are:

• Dissociation
• Revivication
• Symbolism
• Presuppositions

1. Dissociation

Dissociation literally means "disconnection" or "disintegration. So when you help a person dissociate from the pain you are helping them disconnect from the pain. The person then feels the pain less or even not at all.

An everyday example is when you are in pain somewhere and you suddenly get distracted. Suddenly your thoughts go somewhere else entirely and for a moment you feel nothing at all. Everyone knows this phenomenon and we call it dissociation.

2. Revivication

Revivication literally means "to make alive again. In the case of pain, you obviously don't want to do that, but you can have someone pick up a situation that is numbing.

You might think of a time when you were asleep, woke up and noticed that you could no longer feel your arm. You had seemingly been lying on it and it was completely numb. You can then use that moment to recall the memory of feeling numb and thus numb the pain of now with the person.

3. Symbols

You can also turn pain into a symbol by asking, "What does it look like? That's what I did with the last person in the video above. You saw how powerful it worked when she made the change herself.

Symbols are the language of the unconscious and work very powerfully through and very well in treatment against pain.

4. Presuppositions

The most common way to get rid of pain is to use presuppositions. In the video above, you can also hear me saying all the time that it goes away or resolves. When the person adopts the presupposition he will act on it.

When you ask, "You feel it pulling away yet? And the person says yes to you, then immediately thereafter he is going to reinforce that process even more. Working with presuppositions is very powerful.

How many techniques are there

To resolve pain, there are so many techniques that it would be impossible to list them all. However, it is true that when you start thinking from these 4 principles that creating techniques becomes easier.

Principles is what it's all about during the break free seminar as well. There you can use principles to break free from whatever pain is almost there.
