This blog is inspired by a lovely man I met at a local cafe who is valiantly battling through a significant injury.
Coping with injuries that incapacitate you for weeks, months or more can be a physical and psychological rollercoaster. There is no area of your life that is unaffected by injuries that impede your mobility.
Coping with pain is often at the forefront of the challenge. We all know that there is a psychological element to pain, be that in the fear or anticipation of it, or being unable to focus on anything else if you are in pain. Science has established that fear and tension actually increase the amount of pain we feel. Hypnotherapy helps with management of fear and anxiety and in developing coping mechanisms.
An unintended consequence of your medical treatment can be addiction to the painkillers prescribed to help you. This can impede your recovery because it is one more thing to get over on top of the injury. All addiction comes with a sense of shame, which of course is misplaced. Hypnotherapy can help deal with the primary addiction, the complex feelings that accompany it and in challenging unhelpful feelings around shame.
Join me in a therapy journey through these issues and more whilst we work on building resillience, acceptance, forward thinking and hope for a better future beyond injury.
