And I have been controlling the tension headaches by avoiding anything with caffiene, including even modest amounts of chocolate and most teas. I suspect its a result of drinking a large hot tea every morning for several years straight: the headaches started when I stopped drinking them when I was away from work for an extended periods. I think I became sensitive to caffiene, because I could usually trace one of these headaches to some recent caffiene intake, so I make an effort to avoid it at all costs. So far, its worked very well.

However, I will remember your advice if something happens to change things.

And Craig - huge thanks for the advice. That’s a great idea.

This story is also an awesome PROOF Element that any professional hypnotist can use in their marketing. Make that SHOULD be using in their marketing.

Even if they don’t do pain management, the fact that major news agencies worldwide are carrying this story gives major believability that Hypnosis works.

I’ve been encouraging my newsletter readers to be sure and print out copies of this story to put in their New Client prospect packets, and of course to write about it on their blogs.

Cheers,

Or to put it another way, I don’t like pain and I’m not really willing to test the results out.

However, it would be an excellent thing to have available in an emergency, or when one of my infrequent muscle tension headaches strike.

I used a bit of hypnoanesthesia this weekend as well. A friend who was visiting had a patch of very dry skin on her foot crack open and start bleeding, which was accompanied by a lot of pain that lingered after we’d taken care of the bleeding and applied an appropriate moisturizing agent. At her request, since I knew the physical cause had been dealt with as best we could at the time, we did some hypnotic pain control to make her comfortable while she kept the foot elevated for a while.

And then, for her amusement, I pointed her to your blog entry A Walk in the Woods. ;^)
