Skip to content Pain is the number one reason people seeking medical care. Medication is the most commonly and frequently prescribe drug. The source of your pain can fall into certain categories.
Almost 1/3 of the people in the United States have chronic pain whether it be cancer, back pain, arthritis, nausea, pain due to surgery, migraines and all those with health problems like sciatica and unknown causes. The goal in hypnotherapy is to reduce or illuminate pain. Yes, the causes of pain are many and varied; the results produced by hypnosis for the treatment of pain are much the same. Hypnotherapy is becoming more common in medical clinics like the one at Stanford and the ones where doctors are using it to sedate patients before surgery, ease the pain of burn victims, and prepare women for childbirth.
Evidence is continually being collected about how hypnosis is not just able to treat psychological conditions like anxiety, addiction and phobias but also very distinct physical ailments such as broken bones and surgical wounds. Hypnosis is surprisingly effective at taking a person from physical agony to a pain free state in minutes.
Have you ever noticed that when you are in deep sleep you don’t feel pain? Hypnosis has this same effect. Except that in hypnosis you are never truly asleep. That is a misconception. Your brain waves slow down to an Alpha or Theta state which is a extremely healing state. This state can be reached with the help of a highly skilled hypnotherapist.

Not all hypnotherapist deal with medical hypnosis issues or have had the many hours of internship training. In order for you to experience success you have to find a skilled hypnotherapist and be highly motivated, ready and have an open mind. Many times people come to me as a last resort when dealing with chronic and acute pain. Many times their doctors have done the tests and everything comes back normal but the pain is still unbearable. It is than that I go to work to find the cause.
What the mind can handle it puts in the body because it has nowhere else to go. Hypnosis may not provide dramatic instant relief but rather offers many sufferers relief from both chronic and acute pain. In a 2003 review of clinical trials on hypnosis for pain it was found that the rating of pain had a significant reduction and that the need of painkillers or sedation, nausea and vomiting, and length of stay in hospitals decreased.
Reach a wider comfort zone when dealing with chronic or acute pain with hypnosis.
I am blown away! I don’t write testimonials, unless I have been extremely moved by something. I was blessed to work with Brooke on a single session, and before this I was in therapy on and off with multiple therapists for the last 20 years of my life. Brooke was able to do more in one session than many years of work with my previous therapist. She has the true gift of great insight and compassion while also getting straight to the heart of your blind spots and unconscious issues in a way that has truly changed my life.

There are people who are good at their work there are people like Brooke: who are born to do it. I cannot recommend Brooke more highly. I can only imagine where I would be today if I had started working with her years ago. From the beginning of our session, she knew exactly what tools and questions that would work for my particular psychology and my personal experience. No other therapist has been able to do that or anything close.
What I also really appreciate from our session is Brooke's ability to go directly to the source of the issue while also keeping a very gentle and kind energy with me. I felt very seen, understood, and supported. Everything and more that I could have ever asked for from a therapist. I have a severe trauma history and complex issues she was able to immediately identify and help. If she could help me, I know she can help you too.

You did more in 45 minutes than my last therapist did in a year.

With your help, I've finally started to understand that while my vivid imagination often wants to create terrifying monsters under the bed, in a lot of cases those monsters are nothing more than a heap of decidedly less-terrifying laundry I've avoided for too long that just needs to be aired out and put away. Which is definitely a lot easier than monster slaying. Thank you for shedding light in the dark places I was too afraid to face alone.

I am extremely fortunate to work with Sydney, who is helping me create real internal change. The talent to listen well is Hall of Fame stuff, and she has that. She then follows with questions, strategies that are organic to the moment. I have come to believe that deep, radical, if occasionally deeply painful change ... and, then, healing can happen. I'm just at the lip of that last part - but would not have gotten there, AT ALL, without Sydney
