By Joyce Gibson


Hypnotherapy is a treatment modality that has been existence for many years. The technique has continued to evolve in tandem with advances taking place in mainstream medicine. The therapy is achieved by inducing a state of trance in the client. Although there is no scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of this technique, demand has continued to increase by the day. There are a number of things on hypnotherapy orange CA residents need to know.

One of the medical conditions for which this therapy has been shown to be useful is irritable bowel syndrome (IBD). IBD is characterized by various gastrointestinal symptoms that typically do not respond to ordinary therapy including constipation, diarrhea and abdominal pain associated with stress, depression and anxiety. The difficulty in treatment is mainly due to the absence of an organic cause.

Hypnotherapy is a common modality of weight loss. The mechanism is indirect since it relies on the change of dietary habits. Through constant suggestions, the client is influenced to stop the consumption of unhealthy foods and to instead select those with a high caloric value. Apart from affecting the selection of food types, this technique also influences the frequency of eating.

Another condition that is currently being managed using the therapy is anxiety. Interventions can be undertaken when the anxiety has already developed or if there is a condition likely to lead to the disorder. Pregnancy, labor, examination and public speaking are some examples of conditions that may predispose to anxiety. When the therapy is administered during labor, the associated pain is significantly reduced.

There are a number of other conditions for which the therapy may be used. For instance, it has been found to be effective in the management of minor skin infections that are caused by psychological stress. Other conditions that are also aggravated by psychological stress can be managed in similar fashion with or without other treatments. These include sleep disorders, phobias, asthma and fibromyalgia among others.

The first session is important mainly for introduction. It is during this session that the therapist and the client learn more about each other and what their roles in the process will be. The therapist will do a clinical evaluation to not only identify the condition but to also formulate the management plan. The client, on the other hand, will be made to understand what the therapy is all about and how long it is to last.

To achieve the desired results, the therapists teach their clients various relaxation techniques. A client that is fully relaxed markedly reduces their metabolic requirements and also lowers their heart rate and blood pressure will reduce significantly. Pain and anxiety will usually be relieved greatly after this. The therapist will then make suggestions that will take you into a state of trance. While in this state, more suggestions are made to help one overcome various problems.

Hypnotherapy is generally a safe procedure with very few side effects if any. Most of the persons that administer it are healthcare professionals who may include doctors, dentists and psychologists among others. Hypnotherapists are persons that have special training to offer the therapy. Ensure your your provider is licensed to provide the service.
