Working With Migraines with Hypnosis
Obviously
if migraines
are an issue, the first thing to do is to consult a medical doctor.
There are a lot of medications for migraine, and it is very important
to rule out serious organic causes.
How
can hypnotherapy help with migraines? There can sometimes be a deep
rooted psychological cause for migraines. Please note that the
psychological causes are usually at the unconscious level. There could
be an unconscious motivation to generate the migraines, and there would
be no way of being consciously aware of this. The migraine appears to
start spontaneously.
Typical
deep rooted unconscious motivations could be "self punishment",
"identification with someone significant", "an internal conflict",
"a significant past traumatic event or events", "an imprint by
someone significant", "metaphorical communication from the
unconscious", "secondary gain".
The
therapy would be aimed at uncovering the root cause event, the first
significant event that caused the subconscious mind to start generating
migraines. This root cause event is not necessarily the first time
there was a migraine, but the first significant event in relation to
it.
Once
the
first event, and subsequent significant emotional events related to
migraines have been found, we then want a resolution at the
subconscious level of this event and subsequent related events. This
means that the event(s) can be rationalised consciously and
unconsciously, and releasing the emotional charge from the event(s). If
there was a positive intention or positive intentions at the
unconscious level, the migraine could be a misguided
attempt
to achieve the positive intention(s). Obviously, it may be a good idea
to persuade the unconscious mind to use a more comfortable strategy to
achieve the positive intention(s)!
Once
you have learned self hypnosis, you can then put yourself into trance,
and give yourself powerful suggestions for comfort at the
times of
old migraine triggers.
