Continuing with a series of blogs here at UK Birth Centre Ltd on preparation tips for your birth and beyond here we are discussing hypnotherapy.
Hypnosis is "a state of deep physical relaxation with an alert mind producing alpha waves, in which the subconscious mind can be more readily accessed" ( Mantle 2000 ) Hypnosis used for childbirth is almost always self-hypnosis: the hypnotherapist teaches the woman to induce the hypnotic state in herself during labour.
The alternative approach to pain management includes a wide variety of techniques that address not only the physical sensations of pain, but also attempt to prevent you suffering by enhancing the emotional and spiritual aspects of your care. In this approach, pain is seen as normal but is separated from suffering and made acceptable.
