Alzheimer's & Hypnosis
Hypnotherapy for the Alzheimer patient
Hypnotherapy
for the Alzheimer care giver
Hypnotherapy has been helpful in helping
both the Alzheimer's patient, their care givers. Often people don't think of
Hypnotherapy as a way that can help. But if you think about the vast power
of the mind that can be accessed with Hypnotherapy, you can understand the
potential benefits. I offer this focused Alzheimer's Hypnotherapy in
Thailand.
For the Patient
Alzheimer's is a slow and painful process of
watching a loved one gradually slip away. It is well know that the more active
the mind is of the person with Alzheimer's the slower the progress of
Alzheimer's. Hypnotherapy in the early stages can be effective in slowing the
progress. The suggestions given are to encourage keeping the mind active. The
motivation to do this becomes very strong by wanting to do things that are fun
and exciting. Hypnosis can make them even more fun and exciting thus
the desire to do this becomes stronger. This therapy is not meant to replace any
other therapy, but to become a supplement to slow the progress. There are also
techniques in Hypnotherapy to improve memory that can be applied. Hypnotherapy
for the more advanced stages of Alzheimer's as far as I know has not been
explored yet.
The effects on a person(s) taking care
of a loved one who has Alzheimer's can be seen in increases stress and anxiety.
It also has the undesirable effect to cause premature aging of the care giver's.
Hypnotherapy is effective in allowing the care giver to find inner strength by
tapping the unused resources of the mind. Because we only use about 5% of our
brain, the emotions can and often are too overwhelming. When the care giver can
learn to access parts of the brain that are not normally accessed the intensity
of the stress and anxiety can be greatly reduced. This has a positive effect and
allows the care giver to better cope and thus lets the rapid aging slow to a
more normal pace if not completely go back to normal.
There is even Hypnotherapy
to help care givers get off antidepressant medications if they
choose. For more information feel free to contact me
for your free confidential phone consultation.
