There are many myths and misunderstandings surrounding hypnosis. Some of which have been exaggerated by misconceptions in the media and misrepresentation in films. However, hypnosis is very real and can be used as a highly effective therapeutic tool. But what exactly can hypnosis treat? Many believe that hypnotherapy is limited to helping people to stop smoking, preventing stress, or supporting weight loss, when in fact, the reality is, it can help with so much more. At Susannah Saunders Hypnotherapy and Coaching, I have spent more than 20 years creating bespoke sessions for my clients to help them treat various conditions, whether they are physical or mental. Here are several disorders that you might be surprised to know hypnosis can treat.
Insomnia
Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that can make it hard to sleep or hard to stay asleep. And let’s be honest, if there’s one thing that we all need, it’s a good night’s sleep – even if it’s only occasionally. After all, insomnia can affect our mood, energy, and wellbeing. While there are plenty of over-the-counter aids that people can try to help tackle insomnia, hypnotherapy offers a safe alternative to medication. The great thing about hypnosis is it changes the way people sleep instead of simply masking the issue.
Migraines
Although migraines are identified as a headache disorder, anyone that suffers from them will know they’re so much more than just a headache. They can cause extreme throbbing or a pulsing sensation, which often come with several other symptoms, including nausea, being sick and increased sensitivity to light. If you regularly find yourself having migraines, then you’re probably exploring potential treatments. And, while painkillers and medication can temporarily stop the pain, hypnosis offers a longer-lasting relief.
If you’re wondering how hypnotherapy might help, then you might be surprised to hear that there is a powerful connection between the mind and body. This means undergoing hypnotherapy can impact the way you experience pain and comfort.
Extreme Sweating
If you’re experiencing extreme sweating – also known as hyperhidrosis – then don’t worry, you’re not alone. In fact, between one and three people in every 100 living in the UK suffer from excessive sweating. Honestly, it’s more common than you think.
It might be that your sweating is caused by anxiety or stress, or it might come on for no reason. Hypnosis can help get to the root of the problem while supporting clients to feel cool and calm in situations, rather than lacking confidence due to their hyperhidrosis.
The frustrating thing about hyperhidrosis is that there’s not much that sufferers can do to treat it, other than potentially trying different deodorants or undergoing surgery. Hypnosis offers a non-surgical alternative, which can change a client’s entire wellbeing by helping them regain control of their life and change their attitude towards the condition.
These are just three of the multiple disorders that hypnosis can help treat. Ultimately, there are so many health benefits that come with hypnotherapy treatment, with it helping to tackle numerous conditions.
