Hypnosis for the Relief and Control of Pain

The Pain Brain Connection

The brain produces over 3,000 chemicals such as endorphins, serotonin,

and melatonin. These are 50 times more powerful than their synthetic manufactured counterparts Morphine, Ambien, and Xanax.

minimize one's usual distractions, and heighten responsiveness to

suggestion, to alter one's thoughts, feelings, behavior, or physiological state. Hypnosis is not a type of therapy. It also is not a treatment in and of itself. Instead, it is a tool often used to facilitate other types of therapies and treatments.

for many psychological and medical conditions, with pain relief being

one of the most researched areas.
