Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, or OCD, is a disorder of the brain that makes a person feel as if they have to do something several times.

For example, the person may feel that they have to physically check that the stove is turned off, even though they know it is off.

These people are often frustrated by the inability to control these urges. If you suffer from this condition, you are probably in search of a treatment. There are many medications on the market today to treat this illness.

However, many can have side effects. A less invasive, and safer treatment method, is hypnotherapy.

How Does Hypnotherapy Work?

It is believed that hypnotherapy works to eliminate the severity of OCD, because it works within the brain, in the same areas that the thoughts of OCD come from. It is thought that OCD is simply a pattern of thought, which occurs within the brain.

When you undergo hypnotherapy, you can learn techniques to stop these thought patterns, before they can take over.  During the treatment a hypnotherapist can provide the tools to eliminate the fears, anxiety, and obsessions that OCD takes root in.

Having a gastric band fitted surgically is a very serious procedure not least because it involves undergoing anesthetic, which are why, only very seriously obese people would even consider it.

However, a British woman has dropped four whole dress sizes after believing she’d been fitted with one, even though she didn’t have one.

Marion Corns, who is thirty five years old, paid out £ 780, about twelve hundred dollars, for a special therapy in Marbella Spain at the Elite Clinic.

Hypnosis has been used for different treatments from stopping smoking, removing phobias and fears and helping with sleep problems. It is also recognised as being medically successful for pain relief often resulting in the reduction of drugs required by patients.

Mother of three, Marion, found out about the treatment while she was living in Spain.

Having previously tried a variety of methods in an effort to lose weight finally as she reached two hundred and sixteen pounds the hypnosis seemed her only option.

After each session, Marion explained, her stomach felt tighter and after a small portion of food she was full up. The Hypnosis therapy included the pumping of smells associated with a hospital being introduced, all of which convinced Marion that she had indeed had a gastric band fitted.

Pain is more psychological; than anything else. Hypnosis for pain management is very effective in reducing chronic pain.

Taking medication would provide temporary relief, however Hypnosis gives relief for a much longer time.

The main thing to be kept in mind when going for Hypnosis for pain management are-

• The doctor should be a smooth talker
• The doctor should be a jovial person
• The doctor should be empathetic
• The doctor should be easy to contact

If the pain happens to be primarily physical; then a mild painkiller would do. However, if the symptoms are chronic and of phantom pain, then Hypnosis is required.

Phantom pain is 100% psychological and requires Hypnosis treatment. However, chronic pain may require medication alongside Hypnosis.

If the doctor is able to convince the patient that there is no pain; then the patient will become alright in no time.This situation is precarious for both the doctor and the patient.

The doctor needs to make the brain of a patient numb; through hypnosis. Like aforementioned; this is a precarious situation. In other words the doctor needs to be a good magician.

Clinical Hypnotherapy is proving to be particularly helpful to many types of nervous and emotional disorders and may considerably improve performance and accomplishment both in students and professionals.

A scientist at the University of Liverpool has found that hypnosis can slow down the impacts of dementia and improve quality of life for those living with the condition.

Forensic psychologist, Dr Simon Duff, investigated the effects of hypnosis on people living with dementia and compared the treatment to mainstream health-care methods.

He also looked at how hypnosis compared to a type of group therapy in which participants were encouraged to discuss news and current affairs.

They found that people living with dementia who had received hypnosis therapy showed an improvement in concentration, memory and socialization compared to the other two treatment groups.

Relaxation, motivation and daily living activities also improved with the use of hypnosis.

Dr Duff said: “Over a nine month period of weekly sessions, it became clear that the participants attending the discussion group remained the same throughout.

The group who received ‘treatment as usual’ showed a small decline over the assessment period, yet those having regular hypnosis sessions showed real improvement across all of the areas that we looked at.
