Whether you are enjoying a nice candle lit dinner or out camping, all it takes is the simple act of lighting a match.

For others with pyrophobia, like Rebecca Torres, the simple act of lighting a match would stir feelings of fear and anxiety. Rebecca's pyrophobia was so extreme that the thought of sitting near an open fire or even just seeing the act of striking a match was frightening.

Rebecca had tried all types of therapies to eliminate her fear of fire. It was not until she tried hypnotherapy that she was able to successfully overcome her fear. She is now able to enjoy fireworks and bonfires with her friends and family.

Hypnotherapy Reduces Hot Flashe

Hypnosis and Hot Flashes – What’s the Link?

Hypnotherapy has been found to be an effective treatment for menopause-related hot flashes and night sweats. According to a research study at Baylor University’s Mind-Body Medicine Research Laboratory, women who had undergone hypnotherapy sessions reported 74% fewer hot flashes on average. Additionally, women also reported that the hypnotherapy sessions also helped them to sleep better.

brain activity can affect how hypnosis works

Over the past few decades, hypnosis has made great strides in managing and treating chronic pain, anxiety, fears, phobias, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

However, not everyone can be hypnotized. To observe this phenomenon, researchers from Stanford University conducted a study using brain scans to determine which individuals are more susceptible to hypnosis. According to the study, researchers concluded that individuals who are highly hypnotizable readily immerse themselves in their thoughts without having their attention interrupted, such as getting sidetracked or losing track of time. In contrast, individuals who are less hypnotizable do not procrastinate in their daily activities and are less trusting of others.

Hypnosis for painless childbirth is a viable alternative to cesarean or painful natural birthing processes.

Many women often fear the miracle of childbirth because of the pain and stress that comes with it. Most women choose cesarean section in order to control and lessen the pain of their childbirth. Now, there is a pain-free alternative to cesarean sections, including hypnosis delivery (also known as hypnotherapy for childbirth). Hypnosis delivery is not a new procedure… in fact, hypnosis delivery has been practiced as early as 1942.

Today, hypnotherapy for childbirth is gaining popularity in hospitals throughout the world. In China, one hospital in the Fengtai district is helping women lessen the pain of childbirth with water birth and hypnosis delivery. Does hypnosis delivery really work? When Wang Yali, a 23 year old woman, used hypnosis delivery, she not only experienced no labor pains but also had a shorter recovery period.
