PTSD-associated chronic pain
Chronic pain can arise from mental health disorders such as PTSD. Depending on the context of the psychological trauma, it can contribute to an overreactive nervous system (limbic system) and create hyperarousal symptoms. This state of heightened alertness can reduce pain tolerance. Resulting in tense muscles which can contribute to chronic pain.
Fibromyalgia associated chronic pain
Conditions like fibromyalgia are also associated with muscular discomfort and chronic fatigue. The symptoms that arise are facial spasms (twitching of facial muscles) and are caused by persistent pain and tiredness of the face muscles, headaches, painful menstrual periods, sensitivity to cold and heat, irregular sleep patterns, stiff joints and muscles. Similar to above, when experiencing pain, the brain will experience heightened alterness and reduce the tolerance of pain. So when things that shouldn't cause pain, can cause extreme pain.

Chronic Pain Treatment with Hypnotherapy
How does hypnotherapy work for pain relief?
Hypnosis for pain management can provide initial pain relief by inducing a relaxing altered state of consciousness. Through this altered state, it can increase the efficacy of hypnosis and help reduce the overall intensity of pain from your pain-associated hyper aroused mind. With regression therapy, we are able to delve into significant past events that are presumably interfering with your neural pathways. This will provide a chance to allow changes in your subconscious programming for the benefit of cultivating better chronic pain management.
The subconscious is a very powerful part of your consciousness. It processes 90% of your involuntary actions compared to the conscious mind that is responsible for rationalising and logical thinking. The subconscious stores your beliefs, values, memories and past experiences. It also holds all experiences including those that have been hidden from traumatic experiences and purposely forgotten.
Through these memories and experiences holds and forms the essence of your beliefs and behaviours. Essentially, this is where the biggest fears, limiting beliefs and greatest potential lie.
By treating the stress at the subconscious level. With the power of suggestion, we can remove trapped or repressed negative emotions from traumatic experiences that led to chronic pain.
This provides an opportunity to release the trapped emotions and replace them with a positive mindset and behaviours. And with hypnotic intervention, this can facilitate more coherence and harmony between the mind and body, helping you reduce pain sensations, pain intensity and cultivating the control of pain.
