Migraines can be one of the most painful experiences for people who suffer from them. They are typically categorised as headaches but they are far more than just that.
A headache caused by a migraine is usually described as a throbbing pain in the head. It often stems from the sides of the head and makes it difficult for someone to even keep their eyes open.
While clinical solutions and medications can help, recovery from migraines takes time.
On the other hand, migraine hypnotherapy is an alternative method to reduce the pain caused by migraines.
With hypnosis for migraines, you are likely to recover more speedily and also see lasting results for your migraine relief.
What Causes Migraines?
There are a number of reasons why someone may have migraine attacks, however, the exact cause of them is unknown. Moreover, they are also more severe for those who suffer from depression, anxiety and stress disorders. Insomnia, poor sleep patterns and allergies can also contribute to migraines.
Research shows that migraines are the result of a type of abnormal brain activity that affects nerve signals, chemicals and blood vessels in your brain. This is why severe headaches, nausea and sensitivity to light and sound are common migraine symptoms.
Additionally, the number of times you can have a migraine episode can vary. You could only face them occasionally, however, if the issue is severe, you may face them numerous times a week.
Additionally, you may also find yourself feeling nauseous and dealing with cramps as a side effect.
How Migraine Hypnotherapy Can Help
Hypnotherapy is one of the oldest and most trusted alternative treatment methods for issues like anxiety, depression, stress and other disorders. Moreover, these disorders play a role in augmenting the effects of migraines and are often the cause of severe attacks.
With migraine hypnotherapy, you are essentially targeting the triggers of a migraine attack. The quickest way to achieve migraine relief is through migraine hypnotherapy sessions paired with clinical treatment.
With the help of certain techniques, we will work together to reduce stress, anxiety and other triggers, which will help to reduce the severity of your migraines.
Techniques Used for Migraine Hypnotherapy
1. Relaxation
Psychological stress has been found to be one of the biggest causes of migraine headaches. It is a common trigger that sets off certain physical symptoms that are associated with migraines. Relaxation works well to improve the physical effects of a migraine and is commonly used in migraine hypnotherapy.
In my sessions, clients are usually asked to imagine a safe place where they can relax. Another good technique is to imagine a sailboat resting just above your stomach. With every breath you inhale and exhale, the boat rises and falls.
2. Visualisation
The visualisation technique is highly effective in migraine hypnotherapy. It involves using various ways to help you deal with problems and visualise outcomes. For example, when it comes to migraines, I often ask patients to imagine their headaches as a particular colour. We then work together to slowly change the colour and reduce symptoms.
Sometimes, clients are also asked to visualise a creature in their head that might be causing the headache. Then, they are asked to imagine what the creature would rather be doing instead. By indulging in these visualisations, clients are able to achieve migraine relief.
3. Sleep Hypnosis
Hypnosis for migraines also involves improving the quality of your sleep. Migraines are often the result of insomnia or poor sleep. Migraine hypnotherapy keeps this in mind when helping you achieve migraine relief.
In my sessions, we will work together to help you achieve deep relaxation, clear your mind and fall asleep. With my help, you are sure to experience a deep sleep and see an improvement in your migraine symptoms.
