PsychoNeuroImmunology (PNI)
With the advancement of medical science, emphasis was placed upon surgery and pharmaceuticals. As a result, psychological processes and their impact on health took less precedence. This began to change towards the end of the 20th century, when science is now proving a tangible connection between our immune system and how we tackle/cope with illness and disease, our hormones, and our nervous system.
Much new information is coming to light regarding cells in our body that were previously exclusively linked with the immune system, also now being found to have function within the brain and spinal cord. These studies are uncovering a strong link between depression, stress and the physical impact this has on our bodies.
MOOD AND DISEASE
Anyone diagnosed with a long term disease will be aware of how this affects their mood. Fear, uncertainty and frustration can all add to feelings of stress, depression and negativity.
When considering the course of a disease, we feel it is best to accept the diagnosis, but to let ourselves determine the prognosis. How we approach illness and chronic health conditions can make a vast difference to how we allow them to affect us.
TRANCE STATE & STRESS
Deep relaxation inhibits the stress receptors within the body. In turn, the detrimental effects of stress in the body are greatly diminished.
Using specialised hypnotherapy techniques we can help our patients to:
* Create coping strategies for stress
* Create more positive belief systems
* Establish control
Many different people with varying conditions can greatly benefit from PNI and Hypnotherapy work, the concept of 'mind over matter' is overwhelmingly illustrated allowing the patient to be in control of their symptoms.
