GREEN IRENE'STrain your brain to battle chronic pain

There is not a lot to know about the actual cause of fibromyalgia other than subtle changes in neurotransmitters within the brain that can affect the central nervous system, which in turn creates the sensation of pain associated with the condition.

The neurotransmitters become hypersensitive to pain signals, if you are a fibro-fighting warrior, you’re well aware of just how HYPERSENSITIVE and OVER-REACTIVE our bodies and brains can be.

It may often feel like your senses are in overdrive compared to others: light, sound, smells, tastes, and of course, touch may all simply be “too much” sometimes – especially during a flare-up. All of the sensitivity and

chronic pain is likely to encourage “NEGATIVE THINKING”

” I mean really, who has happy, positive thoughts when they are in pain, agitated, or suffering hypersensitivity?”

IT IS IMPORTANT TO LEARN that those negative thoughts are actually instructing your brain to continue over-reacting to external stimuli which creates a toxic vicious cycle. NOTABLY: when you learn HOW TO TRAIN YOUR BRAIN TO TAME THE PAIN – many of the symptoms associated with fibromyalgia and the flares will be TAMED as well.

Your brain is an incredibly POWERFUL ORGAN-

It is the command center for your entire body. Whether you’re awake or asleep, conscious or unconscious, your brain is constantly at work, ensuring that you keep breathing, your heart keeps pumping and every organ in your body continues to function as it’s supposed to. Most of the time, we aren’t even aware of what more than 90% of our brain is actually doing, or the programs and processes it is constantly running/computing!

SELF HYPNOSIS

For pain management relies on two key concepts –1) that you can change how your brain receives messages of pain from your body and 2) that you can change what your brain does with those messages once delivered.

IN OTHER WORDS… It is about altering your bodies’ experience of pain and how it perceives that experience to be.

The REALLY COOL thing is…

IT IS POSSIBLE to influence how your brain operates, even on an unconscious level — you can actually rewire your brain easily, and effortlessly guide it into a healthier, more healing path of process and operation –– a path that can lead to less pain and fewer fibromyalgia flare-ups, reduced symptoms and a greater, more balanced sense of wellness.

Interestingly enough, Hypnosis and NLP are now becoming recognized as some of the most effective therapies in relieving the pain associated with fibromyalgia. There are more doctors each day that are recommending hypnosis as an acceptable and effective treatment for pain management. A study that was recently undertaken at the University of Iowa set out to observe what actually happens to the brain during hypnosis. It was found that there was a reduction of activity in the pain network area of the brain, specifically the area that is responsible for ‘feeling pain’. This proposes that the use of Hypnotherapy and NLP in the treatment of pain has a definitive physical effect on the brain.

NLP + HYPNOTHERAPY

Most people that have suffered from fibromyalgia reported that the pain associated with the condition began to manifest after a traumatic experience or a highly stressful situation. Due to the fact that Hypnosis and NLP deal with the root cause of a presenting problem, it can be highly beneficial in assisting an individual on their road to recovery.

Through developing a relationship with the unconscious mind, it is also possible to begin to understand what the specific triggers are, and develop strategies to circumvent them altogether. By building resources to overcome the depression, stress, and anxiety that are connected to fibromyalgia, an individual can begin to become empowered with the knowledge that they have the ability to change the way their brain behaves and engages with the pain response. In addition, the feeling of being in control and a shift in overall attitude can have a dramatic effect on the condition itself.

Are you ready?…

Take control of your condition and improve the quality of your life! Don’t let dis-ease hold your happiness hostage. Hypnosis and NLP combined with cannabinoid therapy for fibromyalgia have the ability to uncover the cause and reduce the emotional distress that exasperated the condition. In addition, there are many tools that a client will be taught to use, such as self-hypnosis, in order to relieve symptoms of fibromyalgia.
