Migraines and Me
I was eleven when I got my first migraine . This is my story about migraines and me .
This month I want to tell you about hypnotherapy . I have now had two sessions with a lovely lady from Beaconsfield called Debbie Milligan who runs her own business called Croft Therapy . She has opened my eyes to a new world .
I have seen hypnotists on TV doing magic tricks on people , but I ’ ve never been involved myself so I always believed that they may be a complete set up . Even when people have told me that they have seen things happen live , and they ARE real , and the hypnotists are amazingly talented , I still had my doubts .
My first session was my favourite as I knew so little about hypnotherapy ; I found it extremely interesting to learn . Deb explained how the client must believe it will work and truly put their all into what they are focusing on , otherwise it probably won ’ t work . I always thought that it was completely down to the hypnotist ( hypnotherapist ) to control the situation , but it ’ s actually the complete opposite . They are guiding the client in the right direction , and explaining what they can do if they would like to , and help them believe they really can do it .
If you aren ’ t very imaginative maybe this isn ’ t for you . I really think it has made me realise there are hundreds of theories to prevent and help with migraines , and many other fears or illnesses , but you just have to believe they will work . It ’ s all about training your mind into not going down the same path each time , but trying a different route and changing your ways .
For example , my challenge for when I think a migraine may be coming is to try to apply one of the techniques Debbie has taught me under hypnosis . The techniques may help me relax and control the pain , rather than let the pain control me , so I can reduce it , and even get rid of it , before it can really take hold .
I haven ’ t had a migraine so far since the treatment so who knows if I can make it work , but I sure will give it a go ! www . crofttherapy . co . uk
