CRPS and Children 0 (0)

My comments to a mother who has a child diagnosed with CRPS.  (Notice I said DIAGNOSED not has CRPS)

Some things about working with children that we need to discuss which has to be considered:

  • How much her condition is being reinforced by family, friends and physicians
  • Children love attention and subconsciously may not be able to tell negative from positive attention – it is just attention
  • There is always a reward involved with every behavior – finding her reward or discovering a bigger reward is a big part of recovery.
  • CRPS is called complex because there is no reason for it so it is complexing to the medical mind that can’t see beyond physical treatment.

A simple statement from you, asking, “are you in pain?” Hurting or how do you feel today is a trigger for the brain to create and be reinforced with a learned response.

I leave you with this thought – There is no pain until the electrical impulse reaches the brain. In the brain the emotions of past experiences are filtered by the Thalamus gland and relayed to other glands that then determine the response. In your daughters case “pain”.

Here is a comment from a past CRPS diagnosed client

Hi Lena and Ron,

I hope you are both doing well. I wanted to follow up with what has happened sense I have been home. First of all thank you so very much for the Hung by the Tongue book. I love it and have enjoyed reading it. I am doing great! I have started tapering off my medications. I am completely off of narcotic pain medication and that feels so good. I have also started physical therapy and that is going great as well. My life is completely different from before I came to Clinton. I feel like I got my life back and I am so excited and optimistic about my future.  I am settling into my new routine well.  I do relaxation/hypnosis 2-4 hours a day and I love it. It keeps getting better everyday. I have been able to share what I have learned with so many people close to me. Sorry if you get a lot of injuries. Many were amazed by the results, like I still am. Many of my friends and family have started using your apps and love it. I am hoping to come back in April to get trained let me know if it is sooner. Thank you for all you do! I can never explain just how thankful and appreciate My family and I are for all that you have done. I feel so blessed and forever thankful! Coming to Healthy Visions saved my life!

 

Hemophilia Treated with Hypnosis 0 (0)

This Email was sent to Ron Eslinger asking for guidance in setting up a treatment plan for Hemophilia using hypnotherapy.
Dear Ron,
I am a hypnotherapist qualified with the South African Institute of Hypnotism, practicing in Johannesburg, South Africa.I have a client, who is bringing her 6 year old son for the management of hemophilia. While I was doing research on the Internet I came across Ron Eslinger’s case study of hemophilia. I would like to know if he would be willing to share the whole transcript of that case study, so I can get more insight into it and plan the best possible treatment for my client. Also any advise and suggestions are very welcome and highly appreciated.
Looking forward to your reply!
Ron Eslinger’s reply:

Here are the basics of how I developed a treatment plan for a 14 year old.

  • A 6y/o is already in hypnosis so no formal induction needed
  • Letting the child talk as you Listen to learn how they feel about the hemophilia and the restrictions that are put on them
  • Story telling is the key ingredient, so you have to learn their favorite stories, games and other things that are a major part of their life
  • in hypnosis teaching them how to recognize that the bleed is starting
  • that it is okay to stop playing or doing whatever they’re doing in order to stop the bleeding
  • teach them how to think of the bleeding areas like turning on or turning off water that they can turn off the bleeding by imagining their turning off the water in that area
  • teach them not to think of the area as being cold like ice being placed upon it making the cooler and cooler and cooler and colder
  • they can also pretend they’re building a dam were the bleed has occurred stopping the bleeding
  • be sure to teach them self-hypnosis
  • teach them that they can say stop and the bleeding will stop
  • have them to pretend as they are going to sleep at night that they are in control and that they can say stop any time in the bleeding will stop with practice
  • give suggestions for protecting themselves from injury

This should get you started you can think about other things that you can do along these lines that can help a six-year-old.

Case Report-  Hemophilia

Tommy was fourteen and a victim of hemophilia which is a defective or deficient blood coagulation molecule known as factor VIII.  Tommy required as many as six transfusions of cryoprecipitate weekly, a very expensive and time consuming treatment.  Using hypnosis as an adjunct therapy, Tommy learned how to manage his bleeds drastically decreasing his need for transfusions.  This was a significant change for the family financially and in Tommy’s improved mental and physical health.

 Hypnosis was used in four ways.

First, was ego-strengthening.  Tommy was given suggestions that he no longer had to compete with his peer group to be accepted.

Second, He was taught to recognize when he was bleeding into a joint very early.  Early recognition of internal bleeding combined with increased self-esteem allowed him to stop what he was doing without embarrassment, decreasing the amount of injury.

Third, Tommy used guided imagery to create cold at the site of bleeding to slow down blood flow.  He also visualized faucets on his blood vessels that could be switched on or off.

Fourth, He learned auto-hypnosis which enabled him to reinforce the post-hypnotic suggestions given by the hypnotist.
