Easing The Challenges Of Cancer With Hypnosis And Coaching
Hypnosis is often used as an adjunct to traditional cancer care to help create an overall sense of wellbeing and comfort. Having cancer can be life-changing, but it doesn’t have to be life-diminishing. The combination of hypnosis and coaching can significantly help individuals deal with the many aspects of their condition, and assist them in embracing life.
For many people, a diagnosis of cancer brings about feelings of fear, stress, and helplessness. It raises a lot of questions… What will happen to me? What doctor / hospital should I choose? What treatment should I select? How will my family cope? What might the financial toll be?
Hypnosis and coaching can help ease the physical and emotional effects of cancer. It has been described as “the most potent non-pharmacological relaxant known to science.” Entering a hypnotic state creates feelings of calm and well-being. The more it’s practiced, the more positive the results. The National Institutes of Health, along with other major research and educational institutions, have demonstrated its ability to help patients by:
• Reducing stress and improving clarity • Minimizing the side effects of treatments • Enhancing the ability to manage discomfort • Releasing the fear of procedures, treatments, and surgery • Promoting a sense of empowerment and well-being
In one study of 200 women undergoing breast cancer surgery, researchers found that pre-surgery hypnosis reduced the amount of anesthesia required during the procedure, post-surgical pain, and the overall time and cost of the procedure. Patients reported less emotional upheaval, nausea, and fatigue afterward.
During meetings with a certified hypnocounselor, the client has the opportunity to share her concerns, and discuss goals and expectations with regard to her sessions. She will be gently guided into a hypnotic state, which creates feelings of relaxation and wellbeing, and a variety of techniques are used to further promote positive feelings and a sense of optimism. Through the use of reinforcement recordings, selfhypnosis, and centering breaths, the client furthers her own ability to feel better.
Practitioners also help with pain management by using an array of techniques that train the subconscious mind to avoid anticipatory pain and alter the perception of pain. For some people, the side effects of treatments are difficult to handle. As a person becomes proficient in entering a state of hypnotic relaxation, physical comfort tends to increase; and hypnotic suggestions make the treatments more tolerable and able to be viewed without fear.
Hypnosis is an efficient, holistic, and empowering modality. It works optimally for people who truly want to change, believe that with the right tools and techniques they are capable of creating change, and understand they need to be a partner in the process.
