Frequently asked questions

Does hypnosis help with pain?

Yes, pain is one of the better-evidenced uses of hypnotherapy. Major medical centers note it can help with chronic and procedure-related pain, usually as a complement to medical care.

Does it replace my pain medication or treatment?

No. Hypnotherapy is a complement, not a replacement. Keep working with your doctor and never change medication without medical advice.

How many sessions will I need?

Pain work varies, and some research suggests more sessions can help. Your practitioner and medical team can guide the plan.

Can I do it online?

Yes. Many pain-management sessions are offered over video.
