There exists a growing dissatisfaction with
conventional medicine in treating some chronic conditions;
Consumers and provider alike are focusing more on wellness, disease
prevention and more timely, less expensive treatments;
Rising costs of health care and prescription
medicine are carried more and more by the consumer while
consolidation and cutbacks are causing inconsistent or loss of
service and benefits; and
Doctors and physicians
are having difficulty coping with increasing patient workloads.
Therapy for the New Millennium
In the last 50 years, hypnotherapy has increasingly moved out of
controversy towards acceptance of its wellness and life enhancing
benefits.
In 1958 hypnotherapy was approved by the
American Medical Association as a method of therapy.
The National Cancer Institute currently lists
hypnotherapy, along with other non-drug treatments, in helping to
manage Cancer pain.
In 2001, Blue Cross of California, one of the
state’s largest health care providers with over 7 million
subscribers, launched a ground-breaking benefit by creating a
referral list of Hypnotherapists who offer special discounts to Blue
Cross members.
