While there will always be people with chronic pain who can't function without strong medications, others use pills as quick fixes to try and dull the symptoms of illness and injury. There are other people who understand the dangers and risks. These individuals are much more likely to try the hypnotherapy Albuquerque specialists use to promote wellness.

Some people whose only experience with hypnotherapy, or hypnosis, has been in a nightclub, may be skeptical about the value of this technique. Experts say that truly hypnotizing people involves guiding them into a state of relaxation and then presenting suggestions to them. This is not dangerous, and you can't get stuck. You won't do anything against your will, and you won't be asleep.

A session begins with a discussions between the therapist and the patient about expectations. Once the expectations are defined, the therapist relaxes the patient using the most appropriate techniques. The patient is guided through each session using verbal images that encourage the patient to release repressed negativity. Returning the patient to a state of awareness and discussing the experience ends each session.

All three groups lost two to three percent of their body weight during a three month period. Only the group that received hypnosis for stress saw significant weight reduction after a year and a half.

America is only now waking up to the realization that a large segment of its population is addicted to prescription drugs.
