Welcome |
Wow!
Thanks to your support we are getting some
terrific items for the OHC Publishing web site to share
with you. Books and CDs from folks who, for one reason
or another, haven't been able to distribute their
products are coming in at a great rate.

 |
We'll get the site up
slowly though, as we want to make sure everything works
brilliantly before going full steam ahead. When you do get to
see the first version of the web site and all its offerings, I
would love to hear from you!
Namaste,

| Hypnosis Works for Pain |
| by Karie
Johnston | |
|
|
Most of us experience the discomfort of
pain at some point in our lives. In fact, it is well
documented that pain relief is the most common reason
people seek help from health care professionals. That's
a lot of pain going on!
There are as many
different kinds and intensities of pain as there are
ways to treat it. Unfortunately, studies show that pain
can significantly reduce quality of life and the ability
to fully function in one's occupation. Pain can lead to
depression and, in the extreme, even suicide.
The list of pharmaceutical agents used in the
quest for pain management is huge. The downside, of
course, is that these drugs usually come with many
potential adverse reactions. Also, drugs don't always
bring relief, a frustrating situation for patients and
their loved ones, as well as their medical doctors,
other health care providers, and the insurance companies
making disability payments.
With hypnosis, we
explore motivation, expectation, imagination and insight
to modify the emotional responses to pain. This helps
people cope more effectively with their pain experience,
culminating in the confidence to heal themselves.
Self-hypnosis training is an essential component of this
work as there is a potential for clients to experience
discomfort at any time between hypnotherapy sessions.
Hypnosis has been shown to be an effective
intervention for alleviating a wide variety of pain in
up to 75% of people participating in different
experiments. These results support the assertion that
hypnosis is an excellent adjunct to any treatment
regime. Many physicians, physiotherapists, dentists and
other professionals involved in the ongoing
rehabilitation of those who suffer are now including
referrals to a qualified hypnotherapist as a matter of
course. The word is out -- hypnosis works!
Karie Johnston is a Registered Nurse with
extensive experience in pain management. She is a
Certified Hypnotherapist and works specifically with
clients at the OHC to reduce and eliminate the
discomfort of pain, as well as to prepare people for
scheduled procedures such as surgery or dental
procedures.

| Success Story: Phil's Children |
| by Dr. Robert W.
McKellar | |
|
|
 |
Phil came to me with a
great desire to stop smoking. I gathered
information through my intake questioning and
observing Phil. I established and felt rapport.
| Phil mentioned that his
children were very supportive of his endeavour to give
up smoking. He never mentioned his wife and I never
pried because it had nothing to do with how we were
going to approach his sessions.
Phil had given
me enough information to determine that a Smoking
Cessation compounded with the Switchboard would be
sufficient for the first session. He also showed me he
would be a good candidate for the Confusion Induction.
All indications showed that the process was
successful.
A week later, I received a call from
a colleague. Dr. John stated that I had helped Phil, one
of his patients, and he would like to bring him back to
me for a follow-up session. Would I mind if he came too?
The psychiatrist and my client arrived exactly
on time and I was honoured by their visit. Dr. John said
he was amazed we were able to hypnotize his client at
all, let alone that Phil was able to give up cigarettes.
Dr. John went on to explain what an enormous achievement
it was to get all of Phil's children to agree on a
matter.
However, one of the children still had
an issue. This was the teenage son, Eugene. His feelings
were hurt that we [Phil and I] hadn't asked his
permission to conduct the sessions. Because of this,
Eugene refused to speak to me directly.
What I
had not suspected was that Phil had Dissociate Syndrome,
better known as Multiple Personality Disorder. Phil had
six "children" and always talked about them as separate,
detached and real human children. To him, they were.
Dr. John sat in a chair removed to the corner to
observe. I went to work on Phil. Because Phil had been
hypnotized before, he was an easy subject. I used the
Elman induction and Phil was relaxed in seconds.
With Phil in a relaxed state with eye catalepsy,
I approached Eugene. I had Eugene use an ideomotor to
indicate when I had his attention. He said yes by
raising his forefinger. I asked him if he was prepared
to assist Phil and me to get all of them off the tobacco
addiction. He said yes. I told him I was grateful for
his decision to help us and that I would be there for
him if he needed assistance. I then touched Phil's
shoulder and used the deepening skill and breathing
suggestions to lower Eugene and then Eugene and Phil
together.
Now the client was totally relaxed and
calm and I again used the Smoking Cessation script along
with the Switchboard technique. Eugene answered a lot
quicker than Phil did.
When I brought Phil back,
he seemed to be deeper than before and his comment was,
"I'm glad that Eugene took control. I don't remember
anything."
It's now been three weeks. Dr. John
has called me requesting some of my cards and pamphlets.
It seems he has some prospective clients for me to see.
