It’s fair to assume that when most people hear the word hypnosis, a flurry of images come to mind, and just as many misconceptions. But as more individuals are discovering, clinical hypnosis therapy stands to offer a wide range of health benefits that have nothing to do with swinging timepieces or spinning pendulums. In fact, an article recently published in the Wall Street Journal showcased how some people are utilizing clinical hypnosis to help improve their digestive health.
In this article we’ll examine some ways in which hypnosis therapy may help with not only digestive disorders such as IBS, acid reflux and ulcerative colitis, but other health conditions that keep people from living at their highest level.
Clinical Hypnosis and Good Health
Even some of the most health-savvy individuals overlook the role that stress, emotional trauma and depression can have throughout the entire human system. They don’t merely affect the mind, as the effects can have a profound effect throughout the entire body. Chronic stress lowers the body’s defenses, and as a result, major organ systems can suffer. Clinical hypnosis helps people face many of their past events in a controlled and relaxed setting, allowing them to resolve them in the most non-invasive manner possible.
Improving Good Health by Reducing Stress
When we’re constantly dwelling on something from our past which caused emotional distress, be it consciously or subconsciously, the body responds by producing higher amounts of a stress hormone called cortisol. Over-production of cortisol has been shown in studies to encourage weight gain, poor sleep patterns and many other undesirable effects. Hypnosis allows people to confront these issues in a healthy and comfortable manner, which may be able to help curtail the amount of stress hormones being cranked out on a daily basis.
A Far Cry from Pseudoscience
“Follow my watch, focus on the spinning wheel, you are getting very, very sleepy…”. These may be what some people visualize when the word hypnosis in mentioned, but that’s just a ridiculously outdated stereotype. The truth is, clinical hypnosis therapy and advanced medical research are uniquely aligned. The brain has remarkable self-healing potential, and this is precisely what today’s certified hypnotherapist works to inspire. Self-healing. Freedom from emotional pain-masking medications. Comfortable confrontation of the things and events preventing us from living optimally.
