Medical & Dental Hypnosis
Medical
Medical hypnosis covers a large field of problems. Hypertension can be reduced, also
pain, discomfort, and nausea. Fear of medical procedures from minor fears of injections
to fear of major surgery can be relieved, because of this the patient heals more
quickly.
Burns patients can have their dressings changed with little or no analgesia, this
is especially useful for those who are either allergic to some medications, or are
unable to tolerate them. Surgery can even be performed without any anaesthesia. With
these problems I work closely with the doctor involved. It has been proved in the
USA over a thirty year period, that by preparing patients hypnotically and psychologically,
outcomes to surgical procedures has improved and costs reduced.
Patients undergoing radiological procedures are fearful and anxious. They have been
know to refuse a CT or MRI scan because of the claustrophobic effect, being left
alone or the loud noises of the machinery. There is then an inability to provide
the necessary data which can prove detrimental to the patient, and the high cost
of scanning time.
Providing effective cognitive, emotional and psychological parameters prior to surgical
intervention significantly reduces, stress, fear, anxiety, physical trauma, pain,
pyrexia, hypothermia, malnutrition and drug therapy.
Dental
Gagging, feelings of foreign bodies, x-ray plates, and constant feelings of rough,
sharp edges in the mouth, i.e. dentures, can be successfully treated with suggestion
therapy. (Gagging can be a direct cause of something that happened to the patient
many years ago, and using a short pinpoint analysis reveals and resolves this problem).
Bruxism can be alleviated by suggestion therapy if it is a recent event. However,
if this is an ongoing problem over many years, analysis is the most effective way
of treatment. The person is ‘eating themselves up’ during the night and often complains
of a tight jaw during the day. Besides the wear of teeth, severe headaches and/or
migraines, frequently occur on a weekly basis. With using CBT, more often the patient
notices that they have a better quality nights sleep, and no longer suffer headache
or migraines. If the patient is depressed, have panic attacks or insomnia, then these
conditions are resolved using CBT.
Common problems encountered by a dental practitioner are anxiety, fear, tension,
apprehension and even hostility. There are a significant number of people that are
unable to obtain regular dental checks for many years until a gross problem forces
them to seek dental treatment. Severe dental anxieties and phobias are frequently
the cause of previous unpleasant experiences with dentists. Anxiety, fear and tension
causes a perceived increase in pain. A parent who has fears may transmit them onto
their children. Sedatives are frequently used, but sedation cannot re-educate the
patient to respond more positively than to therapy. Often when further treatments
are required, negative thoughts and feelings may be cumulative if not addressed.
