Pain can be all consuming and life limiting. Pain is never “just in the mind” or “just in the body” – it is a complex mix involving our whole being and how our brain interprets the signals it is receiving. This mix can change from one day to the next.
In Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) there is a saying “what fires together, wires together.” This is in reference to the neurotransmitters in our brain, the pathways that we create to navigate life. Once we have established a way of dealing with a particular issue, we tend to do the same thing over and over, it becomes a habitual response no longer under conscious control. Unfortunately, this often means that once pain signals are established as a response, the signals become an unconscious habit, even if the cause of the pain itself has actually dissipated. The pain is real because the brain is saying it is real.
Through a detailed explanation of the brain Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps by empowering you to change how your pain is thought about and how your brain reacts to these signals. Leaving you feeling more in control, motivated, confident, and happy.
