Pain is usually your body's way of saying there is something wrong. It alerts you to danger such as when you place your finger on something hot the pain signals tell you to move your hand. When you are ill, pain brings this to your attention, whether it be a sore throat or an inflamed appendix.

Pain could be said to be just part of life but not all pain is necessary. Based on your past experiences your mind often anticipates the discomfort which can make the pain feel much worse and sometimes it can create pain which is no longer needed.

Hypnotherapy can help by enabling you to change the way you perceive and react to pain. Using your mind's calming and natural abilities you may be able to reduce 

 

Sometimes, our minds anticipate discomfort based on past experiences, which can make the sensation feel even worse—or even create pain that no longer serves a purpose. Hypnotherapy can help you change that. By guiding you into a deeply relaxed and focused state, hypnotherapy allows you to shift how you perceive and respond to pain. Many clients find they can significantly reduce or even eliminate unnecessary pain by tapping into the mind’s natural ability to calm and heal.​​​
