Managing Your Pain: Taking Back Control

"I feel so tired, I just can't sleep properly"

"I'd love to join in, but it hurts too much"

"I feel trapped in the house because going out hurts"

"It's always there, it really gets me down"

"I've tried everything, even the medication isn't working so well"

"I sometimes make excuses so I don't have to join in"

If any of these sound like you,  then chronic pain is affecting your life. I can help you manage your pain so that you feel better and more able to do the things you want to do.

Chronic pain persists beyond the expected healing time and can last for months or even years. It often becomes a complex problem, affecting various aspects of your life.

Chronic pain can develop for many reasons, often long after an injury or illness has healed. 

Sometimes the original cause is clear, such as surgery, an accident, or a medical condition like arthritis or fibromyalgia. But in many cases, the pain continues even when there’s no longer a physical reason for it. 

This is because the brain can become over-sensitive to pain signals, keeping the body in a heightened state of alert. Over time, the nervous system learns to expect pain, making even mild sensations feel more intense.

Emotional stress, trauma, or prolonged anxiety can also play a powerful role in chronic pain. When we experience ongoing stress, our bodies release chemicals like cortisol and adrenaline, which can increase inflammation and muscle tension, making pain worse. 

This mind-body connection means that unresolved emotional strain can amplify physical symptoms, even creating pain where no injury exists. It’s not ‘all in your head,’ but your brain and body are deeply connected, and understanding this link is key to finding lasting relief.

I know that you've probably tried other ways to manage your pain, but I can help you manage the anxiety and stress related to the pain which over time helps to reduce the intensity.

Imagine having proper restful sleep without being woken by pain or discomfort.

Picture being able to join in or do the things you want to do, perhaps something as simple as being able to walk with less discomfort.

Can you envision feeling lighter and brighter without the constant niggle of chronic pain?

Being able to manage your pain might seem like a wonderful dream, but with the right support and approach, it could become a reality.

I can help you manage chronic pain by calming the brain’s stress response and supporting the body’s natural ability to regulate discomfort. 

We will work together to: 

Understand Your Brain: I begin by explaining how the brain works, particularly regarding the connection between the mind and body.  The more you know about how your brain and body are working, the more likely you are to be able to manage your pain

Reduce Stress and Anxiety: Stress and anxiety can exacerbate pain. By employing techniques like guided relaxation, deep breathing exercises, and positive visualisation, I can help calm the nervous system, reducing stress hormones that can heighten pain perception.

Enhance Relaxation: A key part of hypnotherapy is trance, which guides you into a deeply relaxed state. This calms the nervous system, reduces muscle tension, and promotes the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers.

Improve Sleep: Pain can significantly disrupt sleep, leading to fatigue and further intensifying pain perception. I use guided imagery and relaxation to improve sleep quality, promoting physical and emotional healing.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is an effective, drug-free way to manage pain, and I'm here to support and guide you.

I understand that reaching out for help takes courage. Rest assured, I'm here to provide a warm, non-judgmental space where you can begin your journey to a life with less pain.

I also understand that just leaving home can be difficult, which is why I offer an effective online solution that works just as well as being face-to-face.  However, if you'd prefer face-to-face, we can do that too.
