Reduce Suffering
Hypnosis has been used for pain relief for centuries and is a proven method of effective anaesthesia during surgical procedures. Pain relief with hypnosis has been shown to work by lowering the brain's response to pain.
Sometimes the subconscious mind will continue sending pain signals to the brain even though there is nothing medically which can be done. This can happen with phantom limb pain or an old injury that has long since been repaired but still lets you know it is there from time to time. These kinds of pain can be turned down or switched off so that pain signals only occur if there is a new problem or deterioration in the condition.
