How to Ease Skin Problems With Hypnotherapy

Stress has long been known to cause or exacerbate skin disorders, such as psoriases and eczema. Even the medication and topical treatments may only mildly improve some cases. Some sufferers with skin disorders have had success with hypnotherapy.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Contact The American Psychotherapy Association and Medical Hypnosis Association. You may have an association for your state that will be helpful as well.

2. Interview several hypnotherapists over the phone. Ask questions about whether they are certified or licensed, and ask about your specific situation. Most will offer a face to face interview as well.

3. Teach yourself to use hypnotherapy or practice the take home exercises your therapist recommends. Find a place where there will be not distractions or interruptions. Completely relax starting in sections from your head down to your toes.

4. Count backward from ten or imagine yourself walking down stairs becoming relaxed with each step. Choose a phrase like, "I am safe and peaceful in my life," and repeat it in a calm but confident voice. Use beautiful, calming scenes to accompany the mantra.

Tips & Warnings

• If you don't want to go to a hypnotherapist or try the self-taught hypnosis, there are also professionally administered group hypnotherapy sessions available.
