GLO Hypnosis
Trance and treatment - Using hypnosis to manage pain
10:00 AM - 11:30 AMSummary
Pain is a universal human experience. It comprises both physical and emotional elements.. Over recent times there has been a concerted effort to find alternative treatment options apart from opioids. The evidence for the use of psychological strategies to help in the management of both acute and chronic pain is well established. Hypnotherapy is a technique that allows for symptom modification or even dissociation from the pain experience.This session will provide a brief introduction to the principles of hypnosis that can be used easily in practice to assist in changing the mind set of patients experiencing pain and thereby relieve suffering.
Biography
I completed my undergraduate medical degree at Flinders University in 1998. I was awarded my Fellowship of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists in 1999 , training in both South Australia and Queensland. This time included working with aeromedical retrieval services as well as providing anaesthetic services for flying surgical service based in rural Western Queensland.
I completed a Fellowship in paediatric anaesthesia at the WCH in Adelaide in the final year of my training. I hold a senior staff specialist position at Flinders Medical Centre and work half time in private practice providing anaesthesia for a wide range of surgical specialities.
Several years ago I was awarded a Diploma of Clinical Hypnosis and since that time have trained with many of the worlds leading hypnotherapists. I am currently on the Executive Committee and education sub committee of the SA Society of Hypnosis and recently became an examiner for the Australian Society of Hypnosis which is the organisation responsible for training AHPRA registered professionals in hypnosis.
