HYPNOTHERAPY AGAINST ESSENTIAL TREMOR
By Judy Callihan Warfield

Let me begin by stating that I am a Certified Hypnotherapist and also suffer from Essential Tremor. This gives me a unique
viewpoint of solution and cause. I have found that Essential Tremor is more difficult for me to manage when I am stressed, have not had enough sleep, or have not taken the time to eat properly. These are all areas that hypnotherapy can assist you in improving. The great thing about hypnotherapy is that it is a drug free method to learn techniques to lessen stress, improve your sleeping, and motivate you to exercise and eat more healthy.

The separation between mind and body has been closed, finally, and the power of the subconscious mind is today being brought to bear as possibly the best ally you have for staying happy and healthy. Mind/body approaches work because they go beyond the physical to address the framework of attitudes and behaviors that surround health. It deals with the cycle of stress, anxiety, physical tension, symptoms, and disease. It teaches individuals to break old harmful patterns and develop positive attitudes and healthy behaviors.

Let’s talk about stress! The World Health Organization calls stress, “A global epidemic”. Stress kills over 1 million people a year in the U.S. Heart disease and high blood pressure; suppression of the immune system, which inhibits the body’s ability to fight cancer and HIV; deaths from smoking (number one reason people smoke is stress); deaths from obesity (number one reason for overeating is stress). Stress is also a contributing factor in arthritis, herpes, fibromyalgia, insomnia, migraines, chronic pain, infertility, and as I have mentioned, for me, it makes my ability to cope with ET more difficult.

Eighty percent of patient visits to their doctors are stress related. Almost 60% of all employee absences from work are related to stress. This epidemic not only increases disease, but financial inflation brought about by increases in medical costs and loss of productive employee work time. It is time to begin handling this epidemic in a more positive and efficient manner!

Disease, global problems, jobs, difficult people may or may not change, but you can change the way you react to them.
Becoming more aware and improving your ability to reframe and change your perspective in stressful situations will give you a renewed sense of empowerment and a feeling of being in control of your life again. Many people have lost the ability to remember what relaxation feels like. Ask yourself when was the last time you were able to just “let go” and/or feel completely relaxed.

Our subconscious mind dictates our behavior and habits and our “knee jerk” response to stress. Your willpower, logic, and reasoning are located in your conscious mind and will continue to be overridden by the power of your subconscious mind unless you start making the changes where the behavior and habits originate.

Hypnotherapy will touch on all areas that produce stress while also addresses such issues as insomnia, lack of exercise, poor eating habits, and low self esteem. Because Essential Tremor effects people in every aspect of life, our relationships can also start to suffer from inability to see ourselves as viable and attractive people. Motivation to exercise and sleep better will be instilled. Your ability to cope with others, job difficulties, loss of loved ones, relationship problems, and daily demands will be increased. Limiting or destructive thoughts and beliefs will be amended to be more positive. A feeling of hope and optimism for the future will replace those negative thoughts that have now become a habit, and you will begin to see yourself in a more positive light, therefore increasing your self image.

I cannot emphasize enough the power hypnotherapy has when combined with your doctor’s protocol in battling disease and illness. The ability to reduce stress and feel like you are active in your own recovery greatly increases your body’s ability to focus and respond to your physician’s treatment.

The list can go on forever. Why not become pro active in your recovery, performance, relationships, success, health, and create the life and self image you want.
