Managing Fibromyalgia, CFS & ME with Hypnotherapy
Links to related pages
Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) are complex conditions — often misunderstood, frequently misdiagnosed, and deeply disruptive to daily life. Pain, exhaustion, brain fog, and emotional distress can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. Hypnotherapy offers a gentle, supportive way to help manage symptoms and restore quality of life.
In hypnosis, we work with the nervous system to reduce pain sensitivity, improve sleep, and enhance emotional regulation. We also address the psychological dimensions — frustration, grief, and the sense of being trapped in a body that won’t cooperate. Hypnotherapy helps shift those patterns, offering relief and empowerment.
Clients often report reduced pain, better energy, and a greater sense of control. Hypnosis doesn’t claim to cure these conditions, but it can significantly improve how you feel and function. It’s especially helpful for those who’ve tried everything and need a fresh, integrative approach.
Research supports this. Studies show that hypnotherapy can reduce pain intensity, improve sleep quality, and enhance coping in fibromyalgia and CFS patients. It’s a mind-body approach that respects the complexity of these conditions.
