Understanding Chronic Pain

Chronic pain persists beyond the usual recovery period, sometimes without a clear physical cause. Research shows that pain is not just a physical experience—it is shaped by neurological pathways, emotions, and subconscious responses.

The Pain-Gate Theory explains that pain signals travel through the nervous system, but the brain has the power to regulate them. When stress, anxiety, or emotional trauma are present, the pain gate remains open, increasing discomfort. However, techniques like hypnotherapy help close the pain gate, reducing pain signals and restoring comfort.

💡 The good news? Your brain can be retrained to experience less pain.

How Hypnotherapy Helps with Chronic Pain

By accessing the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy helps reprogram your body's response to pain. Using a combination of relaxation, guided imagery, and subconscious suggestion, hypnosis can:

✔️ Reduce pain intensity by closing the pain gate
✔️ Enhance emotional well-being by reducing stress and anxiety
✔️ Improve coping strategies to regain control over discomfort
✔️ Encourage physical healing by stimulating the body's natural repair mechanisms

Self-Hypnosis for Pain Relief

Many clients also learn self-hypnosis techniques, allowing them to manage pain effectively in their daily lives.

Client Story: John's Journey to Pain Relief

John, a 45-year-old construction worker, had suffered from chronic back pain for years. Simple tasks became unbearable, and despite trying medication, physiotherapy, and other treatments, relief never lasted. He was losing hope—until a friend recommended hypnotherapy with Meredith McCarthy.

​

How Hypnotherapy Transformed John’s Pain Experience

In his sessions, John learned how his subconscious mind controlled his pain perception. Using the Pain Dial Technique, he imagined reducing his pain like turning down the volume on a radio. He also practiced deep relaxation and guided visualisation, where he saw his body healing and strengthening.

​

The Results?

• After just a few sessions, John noticed a significant decrease in pain

• His body felt lighter, more relaxed, and stronger

• He could return to work and enjoy activities he thought were impossible Hypnotherapy gave John his life back—and it can help you too.
