Hypnotherapy for Diabetes

It is estimated that 51.2 million people in North American have Diabetes. The numbers work out to be about 1 in 10 people! Diabetes is a disease/condition that attacks your Pancreatic cells. It is a metabolic disease in which the body has an inability to produce any or not enough insulin. This causes elevated levels of glucose in the blood. 

Hypnotherapy is very effective in helping the person to self heal. The therapy can be used to essentially tell the body to either purge this disease for good or bring it under a manageable level.

The first steps in this process are to obtain the person's medical history, discover how they are managing their diabetes and finally to ascertain what the best course of action is to promote and facilitate self healing. The next step is to discover what is the client's actual diet is composed of. 3rd step may be helping the client improve their nutrition. This should help them consume healthy and nutritious foods. Your body will not lie. Your blood work will indicate if you have a healthy diet. If your blood sugar is low, then you will feel the same. Hypnosis can help you make better and healthier food choices. It can also assist you with reducing your craving(s) of sugary sweets. The sweets are definitely considered a big issue. I have seen many clients that have a sugar addiction. After hypnotherapy, clients do not crave the sweets anymore and are more consciously aware of what they desire to eat. It's not about necessarily cutting sweet entirely out of your diet. It is more about moderation and being consciously aware of your food choices. Helping a client with any relevant fears regarding diabetes, is also part of the healing process. Some people can have a fear/anxiety of needles or even the diabetes diagnosis itself. Hypnosis can release that emotional fear/anxiety. Another part of helping the person with diabetes, is to encourage them to have develop some sort of exercise plan. This is also very important for weight management. They can initially start small by just walking daily for 20 minutes. Hypnotherapy also changes the way that you may perceive exercise and giving you the motivation and power to do it. Stress reduction through hypnotherapy is another part of their treatment. This will reduce the fight or flight syndrome responce in the body. This syndrome if chronic, will often cause a hormonal insulin change in the body. Hypnotherapy allows the mind and body to rest and relax. The body will be in a wonderful restful state that promotes self healing. The client will gain more energy an and motivation to adhere to their exercise and diet plan. Reduced stress can lower an unhealthy bodily responce. Chronic stress is detrimental to the efficient operation of the bodily systems. This also include the functions of the human mind. 

In closing, treating someone with diabetes is a multifaceted task. This can involve complying to the doctor's prescribed medication(s), released fear/anxiety of needles, improved exercise routine and motivation, healthier food choices, proper weight management and reduced stress. I have recently worked with a client whom is steadily overcoming his diabetes. His blood glucose is back to normal levels, he now has healthy eating habits, and his sweet cravings are gone. Also, he has an increased motivation for daily exercise and a greatly enhanced energy level. Overall, he is just feeling great about his health. By his own choice and admission, he refused to take an extra diabetes medication that his doctor had prescribed. This client is still doing great and actually not in need of that extra medication. (*Note: I always have my clients adhere to their doctor's orders. Any medication/treatment changes that are done, are accomplished either through their doctor or on their own accord) This client currently is planning to reduce his medication even further. His eventual goal is to no longer need any diabetes medication. He is well on his way to permanently purging the diabetes for good. You mind gives you the power to make this a reality!
