Pain relief Video
In this video on Pain Relief, Mark Tyrrell discussed the fact that although pain is a physical experience, psychology can greatly influence the experience of pain. We’ve all hurt ourselves and not noticed until later, proving that distraction can be one effective pain management technique. Mark talks about how this can be used in hypnotherapy, using a story to illustrate the technique. He also talks about how anaesthesia can be induced using hypnosis, utilising natural experiences of numbness to ‘remind’ the brain how to produce a lack of feeling in a specific area for surgery and other applications. He goes onto dicuss other psychological aspects of pain and how these can be modulated in a therapy session to produce pain relief.
