Hypnotherapy Battling Chronic Pain Disorders.

For years Angela Woods has tried everything to prevent or control her pain caused by *Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Treatments ranging from physiotherapy, massage therapy, chiropractic, prolotherapy, osteopath and pharmaceutical painkillers. However none of these have been successful for Angela, as the main problem she is struggling to cope with is her joint pain.

Angela had thought of trying hypnotherapy to help control her mindset when it came to the pain, but she was concerned that it wouldn't work as in the past she had used it to help quit smoking, however this was unsuccessful. Although she claims that "it was a different person and a different time; I can't imagine it doing any damage." Angela then consulted one of her physiotherapists on their opinion with hypnotherapy to help her; she said that he though it was a good idea. 

Angela Wood (above) uses hypnotherapy to help manage
her painful condition.

Woods was attracted to one of her nearby Hypnotherapists, "they seemed to specialise in drug addicts, as that is a difficult crowd. If they can manage them, they can probably take a good whack at me." Although her comment seems a little violent towards herself, Angela's condition isn't getting any better and is causing her a significant amount of pain; she mentions that it wouldn't be so bad if she can manage and control her pain because then it wouldn't be so bad. However she isn't having any luck and recently she has also inherited the condition *Insomnia due to the amount of pain her body is dealing with.

It only took one session of hypnotherapy, along with night recordings for Angela to see improvement. She mentioned “Listening to the recordings at night worked a lot better than what I was doing before, which was reading before going to sleep. My sleeping improved rapidly. I was only waking up maybe once or at the most twice a night.”

Since her improvement in sleeping, Angela has gone back to her hypnotherapist for another session, this one to work on her body posture as it would help her pain also; this too has helped. Wood's is now in a better condition from what she started. She is also always telling doctors what she has done and showing how hypnotherapy has helped her condition all together.

*Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of inherited conditions that affect collagen proteins in the body. Typical features are stretchy skin, loose joints and fragile body tissues.

*Insomnia is difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep for long enough to feel refreshed the next morning, even though you've had enough opportunity to sleep. This description was taken from the NHS website, if you'd like to know more about this condition follow the link here.

Jane Disbrey, headteacher at Malet Lambert School, commented: "Sheila's relaxation and focusing methods have helped our students to better understand how to prepare for an exam by learning new techniques.

"The strategies she has developed is helping a range of students to overcome their anxiety, grow in confidence and feel comfortable about exam conditions."

I was delighted that the classes are working with the students and teachers at Malet Lambert, this isn't magic or trickery, but simple concentration techniques, which allow an individual to take control of their emotional state and remain focused and confident whilst being challenged.

Woman loses weight with the Virtual Gastric Band

Pauline Clyburn, 61 has always struggled with her weight, but now she is celebrating after losing weight through a Virtual Gastric Band procedure. After years of different diets with not much long term success Pauline believed it was best to try the Virtual Gastric Band.

Tens of thousands of women each year spend a great deal of money on diets with little or not success

Ms Clyburn had lost two stone in less than one year of having the Virtual Gastric Band. It has also been said that her friends and family can also see a massive difference in not only her weight, but also her confidence; as she has gone out and brought herself some new clothes to fit her new image.

Before Pauline decided to have her Virtual Gastric Band Procedure she was diagnosed with diabetise and was having to take injections. However since her hypnotherapy treatment, Pauline's health has improved massively, and she has now stopped taking her diabetic injections.

The Virtual Gastric Band is a powerful technique which allows a trained hypnotherapist to set the patients mindset that they have gone through the real gastric band operation. It has become a huge hit with both men, women and celebrities with it's results. Another point is that the Virtual Gastric Band is cheaper and much safer than going under the knife with the real Gastric Band Operation.

If you are looking to lose weight or are interested in my Virtual Gastric Band treatment don't hesitate to contact me on my email address, or for more information visit my website.

Dentist Decides To Open Another Clinic - For Hypnosis

“Their mouth would be a mess, a disaster”

Odontophobia (fear of visiting a dentist) only effects around 20% of people worldwide. But now Jean Paul Demajo, a maltese dental and implant surgeon has decided to set up a hypnosis clinic as he has come across too many people suffering from this phobia.

Dentist opens new clinic to help his patients' phobia

The idea first came to Dr Demajo when he noticed a few of his patients weren't comfortable in the environment and would rather bear excruciating toothache than going to a clinic.

Worried about people's oral health, Demajo researched further into the phobia, as he might find a way to help his clients. The information explained that no one is born with odontophobia - it is formed with terrible experiences, particularly in childhood.

From his own experience, Demajo says that "this fear is quite common among senior citizens" As back in the 1960's there were work books on how to strap children in the chair whilst dentists worked on them. He then went onto say "Obviously, if you’re a five-year old and you’re tied to a chair, you’re petrified! But now its completely different and we want to show that there is no danger"

However people who are scared of the dentist themselves wouldn't take their children or grandchildren to the dentist because they fear going themselves. These such children would end up going to the dentist for the first time in their adulthood!

As Dr Demajo is a dentist he has no experience or qualifications to hypnotise; so he has asked a local hypnotherapist to help him; overjoyed with the opportunity he mentioned: "It is a great feeling knowing that I am changing people’s lives, it really is".

The aim of the sessions will be to eliminate the phobia; therefore the surrounding will not include dental chairs or any tooth-extraction equipment. This is because Dr Demajo wants the process of overcoming the fear to be steady and successful.

We wish them all the best.
