What else can hypnosis/hypnotherapy tackle?

With your will and commitment, hypnosis is a very powerful complimentary therapy (in addition to any other professional help required). Any issue with a psychological or behavioural component can be tackled. This includes many medical conditions e.g where pain, stress, worry, etc need to be managed.

Sometimes medical conditions can be alleviated through complex chains of psychological, behavioural and physiological changes. Not all of them are understood but one example would be clearing stomach ulcers by reducing stomach acid through hypnotic suggestions for stress management.

If your problem has a substantial psychological or behavioural aspect to it, it is likely we can help. What follows is a list of such issues. If you want to try hypnosis for an issue not listed please call us to discuss without obligation.
