Clinical Hypnosis in Minnesota

What is Clinical Hypnosis?

Clinical hypnosis-also called hypnotherapy- can help a person shift into healthier thinking patterns and perceptions of their pain and stress. During clinical hypnosis, patients are guided into a deeply relaxed, focused state where they become more open to therapeutic suggestions and positive imagery to help them meet their goals.

Clinical hypnosis sessions in Minnesota are led by trained clinicians—often licensed psychologists, physicians, nurses, or other healthcare providers, who guide the process to engage the body's natural capacity to manage discomfort.

Clinical hypnosis is typically regarded as a safe treatment with few side effects. Unlike what you may have seen in a movie, those who experience clinical hypnosis do not lose their control or free will. Instead, through the guidance of a trained healthcare professional, clinical hypnosis can help people in pain harness the power of their mind to reach healthcare goals.

 
Clinical hypnosis can reframe how the mind and body experience pain.

What Types of Pain Can
Clinical Hypnosis Relieve?

 

Clinical hypnosis has been shown to relieve a variety of chronic and acute pain conditions by calming the nervous system, reducing stress-related pain responses, and helping the brain reframe how it processes pain signals. It is often used alongside medical care and physical therapies.

Conditions where clinical hypnosis may offer relief include:

  • Post-surgical or post-labor pain
  • Insomnia
  • Anxiety & stress
  • Arthritis
  • Cancer-related pain
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
  • Migraine headaches
  • Tension headaches

Working with a trained hypnosis provider in Minnetonka, St. Paul, and other Minnesota cities, may reduce pain and increase self-efficacy in managing the pain experience.
