You Can Do This --

In fact, I am confident that if you try guiding your patients through the pain-relief exercises found in my Blog, both you and your patients will be delighted with the results. Click here This may sound unfeasible, but it is true! According to a study by Harvard researchers, more Americans are consulting practitioners of non-conventional medical practices than conventional practitioners. Relaxation therapies like hypnosis, meditation and breathing techniques are among the most popular therapies used by people who are adding complementary approaches to their care. By including these modalities to your practice, you can help mainstream these evidence-based approaches and actually be more effective in helping your patients. FYI: I will be teaching a workshop on hypnotic pain relief in NYC in November-2009. Click here You will learn a wide range of conversational approaches that will make communicating with your patients more effective. You will also learn a series of mental exercises that will enable you to offer your patients all of the benefits of hypnosis and self-hypnosis without hypnotizing them in conventional ways. Before closing this Blog I want to share some good news! 1. PAINWeek has green-lighted Dan Cleary and I to expand the hypnotic programs for their 2010 Conference based upon what we have taught at this CME Medical conference and on the feedback they received from the 100s of front line health care providers who attended our 2009 programs... Yes! 2. The article I submitted to the International Association of Industrial Accident Boards and Commissions (IAIABC) has passed peer review and will be published in their Winter 2009 Journal. 3. I am flying to South Africa on Monday (10/12) to teach health care professionals conversational and guided self-help techniques in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
