Can hypnosis relieve pain?
Yes, it can…but…pain is often a signal of danger and serves protective purposes. It would, of course, be pleasant to have a life free of pain, but then you would have no warning of organic disorders. However, 20th century medicine recognizes that sometimes there is no physical reason for the failure of a body to function. This is known as a “psychosomantic” situation and refers to the interaction of emotions and other mental processes with physical factors to influence the body’s performance. In other words, the real root of certain difficulties might be more mental than physical. The list of such illnesses continues to grow. Hypnosis can be of definite value…if your physician approves.
