This is more of a testimonial than anything els
e…
I injured my hip a year or so ago (I try hard not to remember exact dates of things that aren’t good!) and while my Klass Vaki KBS2000 body support system allowed me to get comfortable in my bed to get the rest I sorely (literally) needed, I still had residual and intermittent pain. Ugh…
& here I am, a hypnotherapist, so what did I do?
First, I thought, ‘I got this!’
…all I need is a personal trainer! I can make the hip strong again using weights. Since I get the rest I need (thank the heavens for my Klass Vaki, really, it gave my back and hip the support it needed to heal initially, it would’ve been a horrifying experience trying to sleep on a flat surface). My PT worked with me for 8 weeks, and the pain was still intermittent, and at one point quite acute. He recommended an Ibuprofen regimen, every 4 hours for 3 days. Done, and still – intermittent pain. Ugh…
Next, I went to an accupuncturist, a great one, for several sessions and I did get some relief, it was a good thing to do, yet…the intermittent pain persisted though it was now more episodic i.e. intermittent (still, though I liked my newer adjective better), ugh…
On yet another intermittent day, I was driving to see my hypnotherapy mentor, Lisa Macenberg, (who I love dearly for many professional reasons as well as her general and constant caring attiitude) I was cursing myself for not taking an Advil before departing to see her. When I arrived and she asked what would you like to talk about today, I said, ‘I couldn’t even think of anything on the drive over because my hip is really hurting, do you have any Advil or Ibuprofen I can take so I can think?’
Her response? ‘Of course, and after you’ve taken it, why don’t we work on that pain in your hip in hypnosis today.’ It was one of those ‘hit the palm of your own hand on your forehead’ kind of moments, or others of a subdued nature might call it an ‘Aha’ moment, call it what you like, I am pain free for over a month now.
I walk, run, work out, no pain. I sleep on my back and on either side, no pain. Nothing. No ‘intermittent’ anything…
…and that is the power of hypnosis.
If you are in pain, please call me, let me help you help yourself.
I speak from experience.
Please do not spend close to a year in pain, life can be so good when you’re healthy.
I’m asking you to choose health.
I’m asking you to try hypnosis for pain relief/management
