Hypnosis is like a lot of the other hoodoo pseudo medicine. You have to believe in the shite and it’s down to placebo effect if you ask me. I had a surgery go pear shaped and it caused lots of neuropathic pain from nerve damage. I read into pain receptors, how they work, how hypnosis can turn the pain receptors off. Went to some professor who’s versed in hypnosis and pain management and guess what? Absolutely fuck all difference. What a surprise.
However…there’s some hypnosis tart that I listen to when I’m going sleep in my in-ears that’s free on YouTube and weirdly I’ve found that the next day I can be completely out of pain.
