Hypnotherapy For Pain

What this episode covers

For aching joints, for headaches that didn’t used to come, for old injuries that have grown louder. For the general sense that your body has become more sensitive to pain than it used to be.This is real, and it has a mechanism. Oestrogen has anti-inflammatory and pain-modulating effects, and as it fluctuates, inflammation rises and pain signals are amplified. Hypnotherapy has one of the strongest evidence bases of any psychological approach for chronic pain — Cochrane reviews, multiple meta-analyses, decades of clinical use. It does not eliminate pain. What it does, reliably, is lower the volume.
