About Medical Regression Hypnosis

Medical Regression Hypnosis is the application of mind-body based techniques to address dis-ease and accelerated healing. This modality is considered an integrative approach designed to support one’s healing journey and enhanced wellbeing.

Both the American Medical Association in 1958 and British Medical Association in 1955 considered hypnosis at one point in time a legitimate and safe approach to complement medical treatment.

A Personal Note From Caitlyn

I work at a functional medicine clinic and I witness patient after patient looking to the physicians, the supplements, each appointment and the next latest and greatest tool to “fix” them. And while this is important, you are so much more! It is one thing to give a man a fish, it is another to teach him. Through regression, one is taught how to fish per say, but by the way of reclaiming your power, and innate wisdom to heal. Utilizing your greatest tool – your consciousness while looking within.

What I have come to understand is we truly all have the power to heal. For a period of time, I ran around to others; doctors, coaches, friends, family and at times therapists and never found the answers to my mental, emotional and physical suffering. I was always looking outside of myself to be healed or fixed. It wasn’t until I looked within, that I reclaimed my personal power to heal.

Combing the information and support from our physicians and health care providers and all they offer, I now co-create from a place of personal power and responsibility. When I take the time to cultivate stillness and continue my regression work, I become an active participant in my healing and wellbeing.

The Greek physician Hippocrates referred to as the “father of medicine” and whose oath all physicians take, is known to have discussed the phenomenon saying, “the affliction suffered by the body, the soul sees quite well with the eyes shut.”

I see you not as broken, or need fixing. I see you as whole – a divine soul who has endured a lot along the way and I am here to support you on your journey.

A Brief History

Hypnosis has been used for thousands of years. The term “hypnosis” was coined in 1841 by the Scottish physician Dr. James Braid using the Greek word “hupnos” which means “sleep.” This however is not an accurate description of hypnosis because you are not asleep.

In actuality you are in a focused state of awareness. Braid referred to it as a “concentration of the mind” whereby the subconscious mind is receptive to suggestions and the conscious mind is in a quiet state, while the body is relaxed.

A Natural Complement To Health

Hypnosis acts as a natural complement to medical treatment by guiding you to a relaxed and resourceful state that activates the natural healing processes of your body, allowing you to take an active role in your healing journey.

It can be used to help with:

• Support with the emotional impact of an unwelcome diagnosis
• Reduce symptoms of illness
• Alleviate pain
• Soften anxiety and side effects of medical treatments
• Prepare for surgery
• Accelerate healing and recovery time
• And much more

Just as stress can negatively impact health, creating a positive emotional state while in hypnosis can stimulate the body’s capacity to do what it already knows how to do which is to repair, rejuvenate and heal.

Medical Hypnosis offers an integrative and practical approach whereby the applications are unlimited because the power of the mind is infinite.

Consultation with a licensed physician is required before medical support hypnotherapy services are provided.

IBS effectiveness of medical hypnosis for pain reduction & faster wound healing in pediatric acute burn injury: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

April 29, 2016

The University of Queensland’s Child Health Research Center (CHRC) investigated if Hypnotherapy decreased pain, anxiety, and stress in children with severe burns while they were having their bandages and dressings changed.

This was a randomized controlled study at Lady Cilento Children’s hospital. 62 burn patients between the ages of 4 and 16 were selected for this study.

They were randomly assigned to one of two groups. The first group received hypnotherapy sessions and the second group received the standard care. During the entire process measurements were made. These measurements included pain, anxiety, stress, and speed of wound healing.

The patients in the hypnotherapy group had 70% lower levels of pain and 67% lower levels of anxiety compared next to the standard care group.

By the time the third bandage and dressing change came around, the hypnotherapy group had a 90% reduction in pain levels and 84% lower levels of anxiety.

Preoperative Use of Hypnosis

September 5, 2007

One area of particular interest now is the preoperative use of hypnosis to prepare patients for surgery. This has been found to significantly reduce the pain/unpleasantness/discomfort experienced post-operatively as well as reducing the amount of pain medications required, and reducing the overall recovery time.

A major study of preoperative hypnosis for breast cancer surgery patients was published in September 2007 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute,(JNCI Vol. 99, Number 17). This study used only a 15-minute preoperative hypnosis session. The results showed:

• The hypnosis reduced costs to the institution by $772.71 per patient.
• Hypnosis reduced the time in surgery by an average of 10.6 and also showed a significant reduction in use of pain medications that are titrated to patient’s condition.
