Session Information | Requirements | Suggested Reading

 

This process is best used when the client actually experiences the headache. After a long, very relaxing hypnotic induction (which itself may lessen the pain) that may take the client to a very peaceful place, the client is asked to talk to the pain and ask it what it wants. This step may evolve into a hypnotic regression to a time when the conscious mind and the subconscious were first in conflict about a particular matter. Of great importance is inviting the client to take control of his/her pain by imagining a dial which allows him/her to increase or decrease the pain at will. Facility in doing do, along with lots of suggestions about his power to choose and ability to relax, is a great asset in the self-hypnosis the client is taught to do on his own after the session.
