skin conditions
The mind and the body are connected. When the mind becomes stressed, changes in the body occur; skin conditions are one example of this. All issues that hypnotherapy treats that have physical symptoms are approached from this mind body continuum standpoint.
Skin conditions that can be treated by Hypnotherapy include; Acne, Alopecia, Psoriasis, Eczema, Dermatitis, Hyperhidrosis, and Uticaria, among others. Hypnotherapy can be used to reduce itchyness and discomfort, accelerate recovery, and reduce the stress that is often the source of the condition.
The skin is very sensitive organ. It has to cope with not only the internal chemistry of the body being secreted through it as well as the external elements form the environment around us. As a result we see many different manifestations of skin conditions, some of which are only an aesthetic problem and some are very uncomforatble and are a great source of irritation and discomfort.
Having a chronic or acute skin condition can cause emotional distress and although this is a symptom, emotional distress in the form of stress is also one of the primary causes of skin conditions. The secretion of stress hormones and the effect this can have on the immune system contributes to the likelihood of the development and continuation of various skin conditions.
The food we consume also has a strong link with skin conditions. Without knowing we may be consuming foodstuffs which exascerbate and create skin conditions. It is because of this that as well as looking at stress factors we must also think about what is going into your body and how this can link into the skin condition symptoms that are being displayed.
When we put together your bespoke hypnotherapy session, we also look at your diet to see if the elimination of certain food groups have any positive effect alongside the usual hypnotherapy techniques we usually employ. It is often helpful to work more conventional health professionals as some of the treatments they can offer fro skin conditions can also be very effective, especially when used in conjunction with hypnotherapy.
For skin conditions we usually use hypnotherapy visualisation techniques in which the client is guided through feelings and images of rejuvenation, coolness, and repair, and transfer these sensations to the condition. Focus and identification of stress factors that may be changing the chemistry of the body are also given a high priority.
