Jason approached me, burdened by relentless back pain that drained his energy during long office hours. Despite his regular breaks to stretch and unwind, the discomfort lingered. X-rays and MRIs provided little clarity, and although his doctor prescribed analgesics, the relief was fleeting. When the medication ran out, the pain returned, prompting his doctor to suggest surgery, with no guarantees of success.
Hypnotherapy uniquely taps into the unconscious mind, the realm that governs our thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and the intricate workings of our body.
In such cases, I’m reminded that pain acts as our body’s alarm bell, signaling danger and urging us to take heed. My mission was to guide Jason's mind to reassess its perception of danger and, if he was indeed safe, to gently encourage it to release the pain. We uncovered that his discomfort had roots in a past experience when a long-time client opted for a new consultant. Even as Jason settled into a new firm with solid clients, his nervous system continued to broadcast the pain signal, caught in a relentless, discouraging feedback loop. In hypnotherapy, our aim was to convince his unconscious that this pain no longer served its original purpose of survival and could be released.
The process yielded considerable success, though the pain flared up whenever a client questioned his work.
In subsequent sessions, we focused on transforming his experience of pain. Jason envisioned it as a tangible object with distinct density, shape, and color. The hypnotic trance allowed him to enact profound changes within himself. He imagined diminishing the pain to a tiny speck, shifting its color to a soothing hue, and infusing it with lightness. This practice enabled him to control his pain sensations by detaching from them, altering their meaning, and redefining their quality. Within weeks, the pain evaporated.
Through hypnotherapy, Jason discovered how his mind could empower his body, reshaping both his emotional and physical experiences.
