Hypno-Birthing – Should We Wait For The Birth Day?
February 27, 2008
There is an article in The Times this week about the birth process and how many women go into panic once the due date has passed, with doctors inducing around one quarter of all births last year. Indeed, in France, pregnancy is commonly regarded as 41 weeks long as opposed to our British 38 week pregnancy.
The article tells the story of Jo Bisset, who gave birth to gorgeous baby Hector, sixteen days after her supposed ‘due date’. She gave birth on her bathroom floor, using no methods of pain control other than self-hypnosis that she learnt from a local hypno-birthing hypnotherapist. She says she gave birth ‘in joy’ in just 90 minutes but believes that modern society forces us to believe it will be painful and horrid and it is that perception that can create the reality.
Bisset believes that medical intervention can lead to a need for further medical intervention Read more
University Uses Hypnosis To Pinpoint Children’s Seizures
February 26, 2008
Physicians at Lucile Packard’s Hospital at Stanford University have been using hypnosis to great effect. Before diagnosing the cause of children’s seizures and prescribing some serious drugs, they’ve been able to use hypnosis to ensure the diagnosis is correct and avoid potentially months or even years of wasted time.
In order to correctly diagnose a seizure, it’s important to establish which parts of the brain are causing the seizure. In the past, this has often meant hooking the child up to various monitors and then asking them and their families to wait for days at a time in the hospital in the hope that the child will have a seizure. This is not only traumatic for the child but puts a lot of pressure on the family unit and takes up valuable hospital time. In addition, whilst in hospital, many children are away from the stress or other factors that bring on a seizure so for some, they are unable to have a seizure in this environment.
Children are notoriously easy to hypnotise Read more
