On my usual wandering of the web this morn, I came across this book for the second time (a return visit actually) - A Life Larger than Pain: The Pathway from Resignation to Renewal by Erv Hinds, M.D.A quick scan of the text made me hopeful, but today I believe it is just more of the same with a new twist. However, I have NOT read it thoroughly!

He states in the preface:

"While treating the total pain experience it became apparent that encouraging patients to find their spiritual kernel was essential to redefining wellness. Much has been said about the body-mind connection in obtaining relief from pain, but I have observed that the body-mind-spirit connection is what gives purpose to a patient's pain. Many of my patients have revealed how their particular spiritual path has helped them reframe their life with pain. Many of them have found that pain has helped them redefine their beliefs, and they would not choose to return to a life without a spiritual center."

Near the end of the book he states:

"Perhaps the best way to handle pain includes blending sound medical techniques with appropriate spiritual and psychological intervention. The process of applying anesthesia to a body part before the intrusion of a painful stimulus is called preemptive analgesia (to preempt the pain). This procedure is useful across many medical disciplines, including the treatment of pain patients. Otherwise, if preemptive treatment is not possible, the repeated pain message may create an imprint. Once this damage has occurred, the focus must then shift from preventing to inhibiting the pain."

On my quick perusal, I only saw him mention prayer and meditation as part of treatment, which is fine. His recommended reading includes bookson shamanism, but nowhere do I notice any reference to hypnosis.

I plan to read it tonight. It is available online free.

Hi Teresa
Thanks for the feedback, Louise Hays book is the first self help book I read and was instrumental in making changes I needed to make at the time, which in the end led me onto training in hypnotherapy. He (the relative) is very skeptical about hypnosis or afraid of it and he went (or is going ahead)with an operation on his spine, we haven't heard how it went yet. Have you thought of going to a hypnotherapist and getting it sorted out? Getting an outside perspective guidance may be more helpful. I hope you manage to clear it all.
Best Wishes
Pete

I have been using self hypnosis to manage some pain issues of my own and feel that I have made significant progress in a very short period of time. I refer to Louise Hays book Heal Your Body in which she identifies some possible mental causes for physical illnesses. I use her affirmations during trance. I do this several times a day followed by some specific exercises to strengthen my upper back muscles. Her list of probable causes are usually right on for my various aches and pains. Self hypnosis has been such a powerful tool for me personally that I really want to share its benefits with others.

Hi anyone in the Gloucester Hempstead area UK specialising in Pain management? A relative up that way needs help with back pain, some discs missing scarred vertibrea from earlier ops causing pain in his leg. He is on some strong meds,and has been offered an op that comes with a 50/50 chance of being in a wheelchair.
Thanks in advance
Pete

I don't think so. We had just one 20 min phone conversation and I haven't met her yet! I remember feeling I could help her but when she asked if hypnosis would, could trigger her seizures, I honestly could not say... Does anybody have a reference (article or archive of a previous conversation?) I have never thought of it in my 6 years of practice...

I had an enquiry the other day about a person subject to seizure. She was seeking hypnotherapy for stress and insomnia, recovering from brain surgery but was certain the seizures were unrelated to the post-op (a few years ago). she also said she has "her seizures" before the surgery too. Any body has info or references of using hypnosis when the person is subject to seizures? And if it is contra-indicated, any reference article on that? Thank you for your input...

In S.A the people is still not using hypnosis for medical advancement as the rest of the world.After I did my advanced pain management course in July last year, I asked my dentist if he would work with me, using hypnosis,without any anesthesia, he removed 3 root canals and was quiet impressed, he knew medically that I could not have done this procedure if I were not in hypnosis, but still had his doubts about hypnosis itself. People who have chronic pain, with self hypnosis, they can control their pain.
