If you’ve ever struggled with symptoms that don’t improve with medication – or you’re looking for a more natural, sustainable way to feel better – Dr. Gary Elkins’ new book dives into the importance of the mind-body connection.
In Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy: What You Need to Know, Dr. Elkins – a leading expert in psychology and hypnosis – explains how this approach can help manage a range of conditions, including IBS, hot flashes, chronic pain, insomnia, trauma, and even smoking addiction. The book breaks down the science in a way that’s easy to understand and focuses on how your mind and body work together in healing.
What is hypnotherapy, and how can it help you?
Hypnotherapy is a guided process that helps you focus your attention and enter a relaxed, receptive state. It’s not stage hypnosis – it’s a safe, research-backed therapy used to help people manage symptoms that don’t always respond well to standard treatments.
Dr. Elkins explains how hypnosis works with the brain to shift how we experience pain, discomfort, and stress.
Helping you take an active role in your health
One of the most empowering parts of Dr. Elkins’ work is the focus on self-hypnosis – techniques that you can learn and use on your own. That means you don’t have to rely solely on medications or appointments. Instead, you gain skills to better manage your symptoms over time.
