Psoriasis

If you are tired of the itching and unsightly plaques? Hypnosis can be your saviour.  Using the mind body connection to have great skin and feel great.

Stress is a well known trigger for psoriasis and its flare ups, but having the condition also causes stress.  Various treatments are available but these may aggravate the condition (worse before it gets better).  Reducing stress and its effects on your state of mind and body will have a significant improvement on the condition of your skin.  Psoriasis as you know, is caused by the fast production of new skin cells and the body’s lack of shedding the old skin cells at the faster rate required.  The new skin builds up in plaques on the skin.  Itchiness and soreness especially when in the flexible areas of the body (elbows, knees) and the subsequent rubbing of material on the sore areas can really distress the sufferer.  There are various forms but the plaque type is the most common type.  Psoriasis occurs equally in men and women.  Using herbal remedies in an effort to relax can actually exacerbate the psoriatic condition.

Losing confidence, frustration, maybe even depression can result when suffering from severe psoriasis.  It is a vicious cycle – psoriasis, frustration, focus is on the psoriasis, psoriasis gets worse, you feel worse about the psoriasis, more frustration and before we know it we are back on the focus of negativity of psoriasis.

Relaxation techniques and ways of inwardly reducing stress rather than depending on something you take in will have the most benefit.  You may  have tried alcohol to reduce your stress  but this is not the answer.  What you eat and drink comes through your skin.  While you may have changed your diet and exercise, you may wonder why the psoriasis is still present.  Your mind set needs to change so that you are solution focused.  Hypno psychotherapeutic techniques with regard to how you view your psoriasis – focus on what you want – moist smooth skin rather than on what you don’t want – itchy flaky skin.  Why not take the relaxation techniques further, with hypnosis suggestions can be given to reduce your overall stress – being aware of the heart rate, stomach and the way your body responds to stress.  Suggestions can also be given to your immune system to work appropriately – to make new skin cells and allowing the old skin to shed so the new skin takes its place rather than building up.  The overall result of this is that you don’t have to think about it, your subconscious mind is restructuring its working pattern.  Even if you have a family history of psoriasis, a trigger to activate the psoriasis will have been required.   Within a very short period of time, you can have smooth skin, feel better in yourself and have a sense of contentment that wasn’t present before.  The beauty of this is that you don’t have to undergo therapy to uncover what has caused the physical manifestations on your skin but rather a relaxed and chilled you can instruct your subconscious mind about what you want and the subconscious mind will make it so.  So why not try something new and gain a new positive perspective.  You will be surprised and amazed at the results!
