Complementary
Therapies
More and more people are asking their physicians for information on various
complementary therapies. A survey conducted by the American Medical Association
found that 58% of the physicians were in favor of their patients using
complementary therapies. As many as 66% of patients surveyed by the American
Medical Association are using complementary therapies. The highest percentages
of utilization are those with chronic illnesses for which traditional
therapies offer little relief or hope-chronic pain, fibromyalgia, irritable
bowel syndrome, migraines, arthritis, psoriasis, OCD, etc. Some other
chronic conditions are vastly improved with the help of hypnosis, such
as diabetes. Hypnosis can assist in overcoming addictions, when used in
conjunction with a substance abuse program, by providing motivation, reducing
withdrawal symptoms, and increasing self-esteem.
I do not attempt
to treat or diagnose disease or mental disorders of any kind. Hypnosis
in no way replaces standard medical procedures, but works in conjunction
with them by freeing the patient of feelings and attitudes that may be
inhibiting his or her response to them. Through hypnosis, one uses the
natural facilities of the mind to create a positive attitude and boost
the immune system, allowing the client to make the most of the medical
help available. Hypnosis helps to create strong positive expectancy and
reduce stress, thereby normalizing the action of the autonomic nervous
system.
Self
or Physician Referrals
Clients may self-refer for medical or mental health conditions, but I
require a signed, written release from your licensed medical or mental
health professional. This will allow me to help you to increase your own
natural resources through visualization and progressive relaxation.
Some companies offer a Flexible Spending Account or have an Alternative Healthcare Discount Program.
