Deal With Phantom Limb Pain

Hypnosis and phantom limb pain

If our brains are hardwired to expect a hand on the end of an arm, a leg below the hip, then it makes sense that when the body part is suddenly not there, the brain struggles to make sense of that. 

As hypnosis works on the part of the brain that creates and re-evaluates instinctive patterns, it makes sense that it can change these behavioural templates. There have been many studies done showing a hypnotised person overriding normal functioning. People can bypass the normal pain mechanisms and undergo operations without anaesthesia. Hypnosis has also been shown to help burns heal faster. 

The brain’s expectation plays a key part in behavior and sensation, so when a client who is dreading a future exam has an experience under hypnosis of doing that exam whilst feeling relaxed and having great recall, he is likely then to go on and have that experience in real life.
