As a practicing hypnotherapist (converted from former skeptic), I can confirm the thinking in this article is right on the money.

I constantly see people for all kinds of interesting medical issues that aren’t being solved by medicine.

Most people know about smokers quitting with ease and without withdrawals.

I had someone who would hear the word “cat” and break out in hives.

Another person who had irritable bowel go away after getting over some traumatic experience from their past.

Even my own experience with debilitating migraines gone with just a few minutes of work with a trained professional. They haven’t come back since.

It’s of course not a cure all. You probably won’t reverse blindness or anything. But it works for more than you’d expect.

Medicine is wonderful. So is the mind. Use both to get better.
