Chronic complaints often have a major impact on daily life. Pain, fatigue, muscle tension or breathing problems can determine everything: how you feel, what you can handle and how much energy you have. Often there is no clear medical cause or regular treatment only offers temporary relief. Hypnotherapy offers a different approach. Not by focusing on the symptom, but by working with what lies beneath.
What are chronic complaints?
Chronic means: present for a long time. This includes, for example:
- Long-term pain with no apparent cause
- Tension in the neck, shoulders or back
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Fatigue that persists, even after rest
- Dizziness or palpitations without medical reason
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Sleep problems that don't go away
- Physical complaints after trauma or burnout
Often, several doctors have been visited and treatments have been tried. Yet the complaints remain. Sometimes they even worsen under stress or tension. And that is exactly where hypnotherapy makes a difference.
The power of the subconscious
Many chronic complaints have a psychophysiological origin. This means that there are physical symptoms, but that they are influenced by unconscious tension, emotions or stuck patterns. Hypnotherapy focuses on that subconscious system.
In hypnosis you enter a state of deep relaxation. This makes it possible to recognize and let go of old, ingrained patterns. Think of suppressed emotions, automatic stress reactions or beliefs such as: “I must always keep going.” Addressing this creates space for change in how your body functions and responds.
What happens during a session?
Each session starts with a conversation: what is going on, how do you experience the complaints, where do you want to change? Then follows the hypnosis. You remain conscious, but your attention is focused inward. In this state, your brain is more receptive to new ideas and helpful images.
During the session you will work on:
- Letting go of tension that builds up in the body
- Improving breathing and recognizing body signals
- Breaking through survival strategies that no longer help
- Resolving unconscious emotional blockages
The approach is personal and tailored to your situation. No standard scripts or superficial exercises, but focused work on what is keeping your complaint going.
Who is hypnotherapy suitable for?
Hypnotherapy is suitable for people who are open to a different approach. Not everyone reacts in the same way, but those who open themselves to it often notice that there is movement where nothing changed before.
It is not a therapy of talking alone. You actively work on recovery, not through willpower, but through peace, insight and change from within.
Another way to deal with complaints
If you have been living with recurring or persistent symptoms for a long time, chances are you are tired of it. Tired of searching, explaining, waiting. Hypnotherapy offers an alternative. Not by suppressing the symptom, but by rebalancing your system.
