  3. Perception of Pain the Friend www.eslinger.net 3

  4. If Pain Perception is Misinterpreted What if the Brain does not understand the signal and sends back the wrong message? This can result in Chronic Pain that does not respond to conventional treatment. www.eslinger.net 4

  5. When Pain Perception is Modified Pain can be modified by TENS, Massage, Acupuncture, and Hypnosis. www.eslinger.net 5

  6. Neurotransmitters • Chemical substances within each cell of the nerve tract • They either pass the pain message on or stop it • Act as either pain killers or pain producers • Pain killers are • Serotonin • Endorphins • Melatonin People produce different amounts of these neurotransmitters, which explains why some experience more pain than others. www.eslinger.net 6

  7. The Gate Control Theory • The Gate Control Theory proposes that a sufficient amount of stimuli can close the gate to the pain sensation. • “A” fibers transmit milder pain sensations or pressure faster than the slower “C” fibers so the simple act of rubbing an area that is hurting closes the gate to the pain. www.eslinger.net 7

  8. Limbic System Parts & Location www.eslinger.net 8

  9. Limbic System Functions • sets the emotional tone of the mind • filters external events through internal states (emotional coloring) • tags events as internally important • stores highly charged emotional memories • modulates motivation • controls appetite and sleep cycles • promotes bonding • directly processes the sense of smell • modulates libido www.eslinger.net 9

  10. Limbic System Problems • moodiness, irritability, clinical depression • increased negative thinking • perceive events in a negative way • decreased motivation • flood of negative emotions • appetite and sleep problems • decreased or increased sexual responsiveness • social isolation www.eslinger.net 10

  11. The Amygdala • Remember by One Word FEAR • Input - Sensory input that signals danger • Perception is truth • Response is to the perception real or not • Out put - Must be able to control the Autonomic nervous system • Fight or flight • It is involved with mood and the conscious emotionalresponse to an event - Neg or Pos www.eslinger.net 11

  12. The Hippocampus • Remember by One WordMemory • Three types of Memory • The first is short term is working memory • The second is Long-term or declarative memory • The third is procedural Memory www.eslinger.net 12

  13. Working Memory • Like the RAM of a computer • Adding numbers • Composing sentences • Following directions • It does not become permanent memory www.eslinger.net 13

  14. Declarative Memory • Like the hard drive of the computer • composed of all the facts, figures, and names you have ever learned • All of our experiences and conscious memory are of this type • Hippocampus is necessary to file away all this memory • It is not know where memories are stored www.eslinger.net 14

  15. Procedural Memory • Probably the most durable form of memory • actions, habits, or skills that are learned simply by repetition • The hippocampus is critical in laying down declarative memory • is not necessary for working memory • procedural memory • memory storage www.eslinger.net 15

  16. Hypothalamus • concerned with homeostasis • Homeostasis is the process of returning something to some “set point.” • It works like a thermostat So why is the Hypothalamus important to hypnotists? www.eslinger.net 16

  17. Hypothalamus • The hypothalamus is responsible for regulating your hunger, thirst, response to pain, levels of pleasure, sexual satisfaction, anger and aggressive behavior, and more. • It also regulates the functioning of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems, which in turn means it regulates things like pulse, blood pressure, breathing, and arousal in response to emotional circumstances. www.eslinger.net 17

  18. Psychoneuroimmunology • A study of bi-directional interactions between the mind/brain, nervous system (endocrine system/hormonal release) and immune system. • Mind & body are united by messenger molecules, the common communication channel between the emotions, sensations, thoughts, and images of consciousness and the molecular -genetic mechanisms of the Body. (Rossi, 1993, p.22) www.eslinger.net 18

  19. The Nature of PNI • Organs of the immune system (e.g., thymus, bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes) are enervated by sympathetic nervous system (SNS), and have catecholamine neurotransmitter receptors • Sympathetic nerve endings in these organs make contact with lymphocytes - thus, brain physically connected to immune system. • The SNS being involved in mediation of feelings is connected to the immune system through brain and mind. www.eslinger.net 19

  20. Cortisol - Stress Hormone • It is an essential hormone for survival because it is responsible for producing and maintaining high levels of glucose necessary for the response to stress • Can be destructive because • High Levels of glucose breaks down the protein in muscle and inhibits the replacement of calcium • Can contribute to these pain syndromes • Fibromyalgia • Rheumatoid arthritis • Chronic fatigue syndrome • Lupus Ronald Melzack & Patric D. Wall Handbook of Pain Management www.eslinger.net 20

  21. CHANGE THE MIND CHANGE THE BRAIN THANGE THE BEHAVIOR Alpha Change

  22. H.A.V.E.E. • Hypnosis • Affirmation • Visualization • Expectation • Education www.eslinger.net 22

  23. Why Hypnosis?? • Mind/Body Therapy • Changes Stress Response • Improves Healing • Facilitates Rapid Recovery • Gives the Patient Control • Around since the beginning of time • Simple • It Works!!

  24. Hypnosis An Altered State of Consciousness • 20% can reach a light stages of Hypnosis • 80% can reach the medium stages of Hypnosis • 20% can reach the deeper stages of hypnosis

  25. Affirmation & Coue’s Law • Suggestions only become permanent with repetition • Suggestions tend toward dominant effect • Law of reverse effect • Law of will power vs imagination

  26. Self - Talk Affirmations • Must Be • Simple • Realistic • Believable • Measurable • Positive • Present tense • Rewardable www.eslinger.net 26

  27. Meditate & Affirm • I meditate 2 times daily and walk 20 minutes daily so that I am healthy and happy. Positive Affirmations • I am relaxed and in control. • I feel good. • I control how I feel. I feel good. www.eslinger.net 27

  28. Visualization • Putting the Affirmations into pictures • Albert Einstein uses creative day dreaming • See yourself as you want to be as if you have already achieved it. • Use the Limbic System www.eslinger.net 28

  29. Expectations • Play a central role in pain experience • Expectations of the hypnotists • Expectations of the Client • Directly related to the placebo effect • Self fulfilling prophesy • How did they get the expectation they have? www.eslinger.net 29

  30. Education • Client • Pre session knowledge • Personal experience • Pre-talk • Handouts before and after session • Hypnotist • Development of treatment plans • Are they prepared • Reading www.eslinger.net 30

  36. Catastrophizing From many practitioners those suffering from chronic pain take on the behaviors of Catastrophizing and Learned Helplessness. These are the people that have basically thrown in the towel and are coming to, or being referred to hypnosis because of the earlier mentioned confounded practitioner. That provider at the time of the referral will be a pivotal point. The provider sets theair of expectation and it can be either a negative (I doubt if it will help but try this) or a positive (this has been very beneficial to many and I think you will do well). Hypnotize yourself out of Pain now, Bruce N. Eimer, Ph. D., ABPP, 2002. www.eslinger.net 36

  48. Releasing Anger and Rage Three potential sources in subconscious 1. That which may have been generated in infancy and childhood and never dissipated. 2. That which results from self-imposed pressure, as in driven, perfectionist or goodist people. 3. That which is a reaction to the real pressures of every day life. James Sarno, Mind Body Prescription www.eslinger.net 48

  49. Substitute for Morphine A raisin might not always be a substitute for morphine, but it appears that meditation can help people control their response to pain -- and their outlook on life. "The raisin exercise makes you aware of sights, sounds, scents, and tastes," says Benson. "Now I relax, slow down, and take time to appreciate things around me -- a bird or a cricket, the wind in the trees. Meditation makes my life a little more peaceful. It's made me a better me. www.eslinger.net 49

  50. Self-Hypnosis Subliminal Tapes / CDs Can enable you to channel your ability to put your whole brain to work for you when you need it. May help the hypersensitive neurotransmitters and nerve endings to work to the client advantage. The format should aim at banishing negativity or frustration. For extremely analytical clients subliminal tapes can be a way to open the mind to the power of subconscious healing. www.eslinger.net 50
