Psychiatrist Dr Milton Erickson, one of the world's leading lights in the use of clinical hypnosis, used his skills to manage his own chronic pain during the two bouts of polio he suffered during his lifetime.

Hypnosis can reduce or even close the 'pain gates' or 'pathways' that convey the sensation of pain. While pain is an important signal, how tired, anxious or even how hungry we are can affect the volume and threshold of our personal pain experience. Studies have shown that although under hypnosis pain signals are still sent to the brain, pain sensation is much lessened, or even eradicated.

The key problem with 'Chronic Pain Management' is that the brain gets used to pain-killing drugs, requiring higher and higher doses. We have created a download specifically to use with chronic pain.

And the really great thing about learning hypnotic pain relief is that you can use it in any situation, at any time - even in a cab. With practice, you can become adept at reducing your own pain levels quickly.
