Hi,

Has anyone tried hypnotism for fibromyalgia or chronic pain? Was it effective? Is if safe? What was the experience like for you? How many sessions are needed? Any information or links would be great. Thanks!

I haven't tried it but someone else might have. If you are having questions ask the practitioner that is doing the hypnosis. It might take a few sesions. It depends on the person to.

My husband is a clinical hypnotherapist and although it did not help me, he has helped others with chronic pain.

This is new to me. I wonder how they do it. I have heard of people quitting smoking with hypnosis. Wouldn't it be so cool if it could relieve fibromyalgia??? I would try it.

Hugs, Karen

Although I've never tried hypnosis, I believe it could relieve chronic pain for some

I know when I do my relaxation deep breathing and meditation, I'm able to get myself into a deep meditative state where I've brought my pain level down. The mind is a powerful tool

I think it would be worth a try! Good luck to you!

Hugs, Robin
