Hi - I posted under therapy, but I like to keep this one hear too.....

Not sure if anyone is interested anymore, but I like to post this in case anyone wants to try hypnotherapy - it's the only kind of therapy that I am getting at the moment because I can't afford this plus my regular therapist.

Feeling very defeated this week due to the increase in pain and all the negative tests I've been having. I called the fibro specialist today to get the results of my M.R.I. from last week but he hasn't called me back yet - I'm sure it will be "normal" as is everything else.

When I went to see Kevin tonight (therapist) we talked about all of that stuff then he asked if I wanted to talk meditation or do the hypnosis. I chose hypnosis because my pain level is pretty high today as is my stress level.

Each time I do the hypnosis with Kevin my trance is deeper every time, as it was tonight. So he concentrated alot on the pain in my hip tonight. It was probably the best session I've had as far as isolating the pain and detaching from it.

I came out of it crying. I cried for a couple of reasons. One is that I wish I felt like that all the time, not just for 1/2 hour a week when I see him. The other reason is that I all of a sudden felt like - was the pain all in my head that I could feel this good under hypnosis for 1/2 hour? I told that to Kevin and he said absolutely not - the pain is real, it is not in my head. But that I could go into a totally relaxed state, in the proper setting, allowed me to detach from the pain.

As good as it felt, I feel incredibly sad tonight.

Tranquility
