I also help my clients cope with the profound psychic pain and sorrow associated with traumatic loss; perhaps a loved one, a friend, or even a deeply held belief.
In my practice, I use clinical hypnotherapy to help clients resolve issues of emotional trauma, overcome bad habits and self-defeating behaviors, and deal with any other issues interfering with their lives, work, or relationships. Hypnotherapy is invaluable for weight loss, smoking cessation, chronic pain management, drug dependency, and self-esteem issues, including non-medical impotence and low libido. Because clinical hypnosis accesses the subconscious directly, it is extremely effective in the treatment of psychosomatic issues and fears. For example, I also work with dentists' patients who have severe phobic issues with dentistry or who are unable to tolerate anesthesia.

You are committed to feeling better, you've tried everything, but still you feel lost in the pain. You've always been able to "fix" things in your life, why not this? This time, you feel stuck. Maybe you feel gripped by anxiety or panic. Maybe you feel consumed by grief from trauma or loss of a person, pet, or life dream. Maybe you're finding yourself in new life circumstances (a significant health challenge, life milestone, career or relationship change) and wonder "who am I now"? Life has a way of challenging us. There is a way through.

Symptoms can occur from ongoing stressful life events like infertility, or health issues related to chronic illness, or in demanding careers such as medical professionals and First Responders.
Do you ever feel like simple day to day tasks are more difficult to complete? Maybe you were more social, but now, it feels more comfortable or easier to stay to yourself? Was there a time when you were able to organize your thoughts and feel in control of your emotions, but now you've noticed it's too overwhelming and you feel powerless over your emotions? Have others noticed these changes? These may all be symptoms related to anxiety and depression, but they can also be signs related to trauma. We often think of trauma as single events like an accident or loss of a loved one, or life transitions.

Chronic Pain Therapists
How does chronic pain therapy work?
Engaging with a psychotherapist to help treat chronic pain does not mean that one’s pain is all in their head. Therapy for chronic-pain patients has been shown to benefit both the mind and the body, targeting physical symptoms and increasing daily functioning. In other words, for many, addressing their emotional health through therapy affects their physical health. A therapist can help a client challenge unhelpful thoughts about pain and develop new ways to respond to it, such as distraction or calming breathing techniques. Studies have found that therapy can be as effective as surgery for certain cases of chronic pain and many doctors recommend trying psychotherapy in advance of considering invasive surgery.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic pain?
Stress, anxiety, depression, catastrophizing, ruminating, lack of activity, and social withdrawal all make chronic pain worse. Addressing these issues, research shows, can help people gain control over their pain symptoms. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, biofeedback, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, along with greater pain-management education, have been found to help people reduce fear and disability.
Are there new treatments for chronic pain?
Many cases of chronic pain, particularly those involving back pain, remain medically unexplained. But there is evidence that changes in the brain or nervous system are caused by previous physical ailments such as tissue damage; in such cases, the brain may continue to send out pain signals despite the physical cause having healed. To aid patients under these circumstances, a recently developed treatment known as pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) is designed to help the brain “unlearn” this response. A PRT practitioner helps individuals to reduce the “threat value” of their ongoing pain signals until they can reappraise them as less threatening and fear-inducing. They also help an individual to develop new emotional regulation skills.
How long does therapy for chronic pain take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from chronic pain, especially as there may be a range of physical and psychological causes for any individual’s discomfort, but most patients should expect to see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions. Studies of pain reprocessing therapy found that many individuals’ experience of pain lessened in eight sessions over four weeks.
