Evidence-Based Hypnosis Support for Chronic Pain, Oncology, and Treatment-Related Anxiety

Dear Healthcare Provider,

As a Certified Hypnotist and Facilitator at Red Door Community, I provide non-pharmacological, complementary support for patients navigating chronic pain and illness. My goal is to serve as a partner in your patient’s care plan by addressing the psychological and sensory components of discomfort.

How I Support Your Patients:

I utilize standardized hypnotic protocols to help patients achieve:

  • Reduced Pain Perception: Altering the sensory processing of chronic pain signals.
  • Lowered Sympathetic Arousal: Reducing the “Fight or Flight” response that exacerbates physical tension.
  • Improved Treatment Compliance: Managing “needle phobia” or anxiety related to scans and procedures.
  • Enhanced Self-Regulation: Teaching patients portable mind-body tools to use between clinical visits.

Collaborative & Compliant Care

I strictly adhere to a non-medical scope of practice:

  • Complementary Focus: I do not diagnose or treat medical conditions. I focus on the patient’s experience of their condition.
  • Patient Reports: Upon request, I can provide brief progress summaries regarding the patient’s mastery of self-regulation techniques.
  • Informed Consent: Every patient is screened to ensure they are under the care of a licensed medical professional for their primary condition.
