Hypnosis to Relieve Diabetes Pain
Self-hypnosis is the path to training both mind and body to make a desired change such as controlling diabetes pain. It is a skill that must be learned from a trained therapist and involves focusing attention for a desired purpose. With practice, hypnotizing yourself can be easy. You focus your attention on an image that blocks the perception of pain - and you feel less pain. Your subconscious has grabbed hold of that message, replaying it time and again. The mind has learned to control the body.
Hypnosis seems to block nerve pain receptors in the brain, scientists believe. Those receptors control sensations of pain, anxiety, and discomfort. Studies have shown that pain related to cancer, surgery, back injuries, and migraines responds well to hypnosis.
