Treatment for Chronic Pain.
Our bodies are miracles of nature and in most cases, they heal themselves with no conscious input. OldPain2Go® is about you getting your unconscious and conscious aspects to talk to each other. I am the intermediary in the process.  OldPain2Go® is a simple methodology based on how the brain processes things, so whilst we all store different information in our head, we do tend to process things in the same way as everyone else.

When we continue in pain, long after the initial warning is unnecessary, we need to challenge whether what seems like an old, useless, out of date pain message is still needed. This can only be done at the level of the unconscious and I will guide you each step of the way .

I don’t ask you to believe it – because most people don’t believe it even after they can no-longer perceive any pain. However, you DO need to WANT to be pain free, and not have more reason to keep the pain than to lose it. **   Update  15/9/2013 “According to the National Fibromyalgia Association, within the last decade perspective has shifted from thinking about it as a rheumatologic or autoimmune disorder to now primarily involving the central nervous system. Essentially, the brain, based on what it knows about a person’s life, makes a conscious decision to defend the person, and to defend them, it calls upon several body systems, especially nerves, to protect. “It’s more of a nervous system sensitivity issue, a hypersensitivity. It can affect multiple systems.”.

Can Hypnosis Help with Anxiety?
