Mrs JB - 58 year old female
“I have had a problem of pain in my right leg going on about 15 yrs now. It contributed to me giving up my job as a nurse. I have been on various combinations of medications , and they have helped to a limited extent. I was sceptical about hypnotherapy to start with, but was reassured by the detailed explanations provided by Dr Madurai. He was able to understand my concerns, and dispel my fears about therapy. He spent time very patiently explaining the process of hypnotherapy to me and my husband.
I found the sessions very relaxing and calming. I also found it beneficial that the sessions were at my house, as travelling sometimes exacerbates the discomfort. My husband, who introduced me to the option of hypnotherapy, was present for all the sessions. The pain, although still present, is now much less than before. I am able to manage better with daily activities, and find mobilising much easier. I am also tending to use less painkillers which is a relief, given some of the uncomfortable side effects of medication. I can sleep better which has had a positive effect on my mood and tiredness. As a bonus, I feel that the therapy has also improved my confidence and self esteem.
I am now using self hypnosis to maintain some of the benefits I have gained, and this is so rewarding. I have gained some of my life back which I thought was lost forever, and I am grateful to Dr Madurai for the help. He has always been sensitive to my thoughts and feelings, and was available for questions by phone, email or in person before and after sessions. I completed five sessions as part of my therapy, and still stay in contact with Dr Madurai for ongoing support.”
TREATMENT included general relaxation, self hypnosis, reframing techniques for better pain control, confidence and self esteem building, and ego strengthening. Treatment lasted 3 sessions.
