Ease the physical and mental symptoms of fibromyalgia with solution-focused hypnotherapy
Someone once described fibromyalgia as a complete physical and mental assault on the body! That’s quite extreme. But guess what? That is kind of how I felt until I gained more of an understanding and found ways to ease things for myself. I actually stopped doing hypnotherapy for a little while whilst I came to understand my own health issue. Before you seek the right kind of help, the condition can be really overwhelming. It can be really difficult to describe, especially to people who do not understand. This is one of the reasons I decided to specialise in helping people with fibromyalgia: I realised how much of a great help my own techniques are and my own therapy is.
I can show you how my solution focused hypnotherapy can really help ease the symptoms of fibromyalgia and make life easier to deal with.
Fibromyalgia is not just a pain condition as I will discuss below. Of course, pain is a factor, and it almost goes without saying that hypnotherapy can help with pain (you have probably heard of hypnosis being used for things like dental procedures). I can show you how my solution focused hypnotherapy can work really well for fibromyalgia pain and how you can begin to feel differently, how the pain can begin to ease and how your body can respond differently. People will have experienced the pain side of fibromyalgia in different ways. No one is exactly the same in their description of the pain and this is one of the reasons why my solution-focused hypnotherapy sessions can help you. I work in a way to help your unconscious mind to find ways to ease the pain in the way that you have been experiencing it (as opposed to a random attempt to help generically).
But there are so many different issues that can accompany the condition and it is not just pain! Anxiety and depression can be common factors. Fibromyalgia can have had a big impact on how you live your life and the symptoms of it can have affected some really important basic human needs. I can show you how my solution-focused hypnotherapy sessions can help with anxiety and lift you out of negative thinking and the cycle of depression and I can help you to get those basic needs met again, perhaps in a different way to that which you had previously considered.
Sometimes sleep can be affected and this is something we can also work on. Regular self-hypnosis will also help you get enough rest in times when you need it and when you are not in a session with me. I can teach you the best way to do this for fibromyalgia.
Stress levels and even changes in the weather can affect the symptoms of fibromyalgia. Cognative problems (“fibro fog”) and extreme fatigue are also common symptoms. I can show you how to relax so deeply both in and out of hypnosis to help you feel so much better.
Fibromyalgia affects suffers in different ways, no one person is exactly the same. Even for the sufferer on a day-to-day basis, it can be different. No day is exactly the same for the person with the condition let alone the difference between people themselves. This is another reason why my solution-focused hypnotherapy can work so well because I am working directly with you and utilising your own resources to help you with the different ways in which you may be affected by fibromyalgia.
I can show you how solution-focused hypnotherapy with me, someone who really understands, can help you ease the physical struggles as well as the mental struggles with fibromyalgia and to help you regain control and meet your basic needs. I can teach you self hypnosis techniques to utilise on your own to continue to build a template or blueprint for how things can be and how you can lead a happier life.

If you are local then you may wish to work with me in person. Alternatively, however, because it can be difficult to find the right local support and someone who really understands, and also the fact that often people with fibromyalgia would like to stay in the comfort of their own homes, I have found that online solution-focused hypnotherapy with me is a really good choice for people with fibromyalgia (via either Zoom or Skype). Online sessions are just as effective (after all there is only the requirement to see each other and hear each other in an in-person session as well) as long as you can get comfortable in a place where you will not be disturbed, where I can see you and where you can hear me clearly.
