Im on various medications and under a doctors carewill I have to stop my meds?
Absolutely not! In fact the involvement of medications in your life is strictly between you and your doctor(s) and hypnotherapy works well regardless the medication you are on. An exception may be when an individual is on powerful mind-altering chemical prescription drugs in which case we consider the situation case-by-case in consultation with your doctor. The interesting reaction of hypnosis on medication is that, over long periods of time, it tends to “potentiate” medication, which means if you’re currently taking medication, after a series of hypnosis sessions you may find that you need less amounts of it, or a lesser strength of the drug. Hypnosis can often complement traditional medical care and more informed doctors favour it. It can act as an adjunct to medical treatment and some doctors have learned hypnosis for this reason. It is noteworthy that in cases where one is already working with a psychologist or psychiatrist we would request that a referral from him/her be obtained.
