Hypnotherapy for Pelvic Pain Numbing

Glove anaesthesia is one of the oldest hypnotic techniques. James Esdaile used it for surgical anaesthesia in the 1840s and 50s in Calcutta — performing hundreds of operations under hypnotic anaesthesia alone, before chemical anaesthesia was widely available. Milton Erickson refined the technique for chronic pain management in the mid-twentieth century. Mark Jensen incorporates it as a core technique in his Hypnosis for Chronic Pain Management protocol.The mechanism is distinct from the dial.

Some listeners respond more strongly to one technique than the other
