Chronic Pain Relief

Does Chronic Pain Stop You Living The Life You Deserve?

Are you stuck in a relentless cycle of chronic pain, feeling like no one truly understands your struggle?  Does coping with persistent pain feel like a never-ending battle, impacting every aspect of your life? Living with pain is frustrating, exhausting, overwhelming and isolating.

You may wonder:

Will I ever feel better?

Why does nothing seem to work?

Is this just how life will be from now on?

You are not alone.  And more importantly – you’re not broken.

The truth is that you don’t have to accept pain as your reality. You have the power to take back control and discover relief from chronic pain with hypnotherapy.

What is Chronic Pain?

Pain Is a Danger Signal – But Sometimes, It’s a False Alarm

Pain is designed to protect you. Normally, when you get injured, your body sends signals to the brain, which then triggers pain to alert you to potential harm. But what happens when the system malfunctions?

In many cases of chronic pain, the brain mistakenly interprets safe signals from the body as dangerous – like a car alarm that blares for no reason. This is called neuroplastic pain.

When the pain system misfires, it causes discomfort and pain even when no actual threat exists. A powerful example of this is phantom limb pain, where people feel pain in a limb that no longer exists – proving that pain is created in the brain, not just in the body.

The Pain - Fear Cycle

    1. You feel pain.
    2. Your brain fixates on it.
    3. Negative thoughts arise: “This will never get better.”
    4. Stress, fear, anxiety and frustration increase.
    5. Your brain misinterprets these emotions as danger – intensifying the pain.
    6. More pain leads to more fear.
    7. More fear leads to more pain.

Your pain is real—it's just being generated by a misfiring alarm system.

Over time, your brain can learn pain. Just as practice helps you master a musical instrument, your brain can become highly skilled at amplifying pain signals and cause you to get stuck in a relentless cycle of chronic pain.

The good news? Just as your brain can learn pain, it can also unlearn it with Hypnotherapy.

Discover Freedom from Chronic Pain with Hypnotherapy

You Are Not Powerless. The wonderful news is that hypnotherapy can provide you with significant relief from chronic pain.  Unlike conventional treatments that focus solely on physical symptoms and chronic pain management, hypnotherapy works by rewiring your brain’s pain pathway and how it responds to pain, breaking the cycle and helping you regain control.

Through guided hypnosis and the power of your subconscious mind, Edinburgh Hypnotherapist Allison Aitken at Headspace Hypnotherapy will help your mind shift from pain amplification to pain relief.  Your brain’s response to pain can be retrained, turning off unnecessary alarms and restoring balance. Think of hypnotherapy as a skilled mechanic that recalibrates your system, ensuring pain signals only activate when truly needed.
