I absolutely think it works for one person to another but I find it very difficult to help myself through the pain.   Stacy ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Stacy Harim ; Krissy Z ; TM List ; TMA-New-England ; Heather & Pieter Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 5:18 PM Subject: Re: [TMIC] OT:Using Imagery to Relax > I tried the imagery last night and it > didn't work.  I'd like to meet someone it does work for, I mean REALLY > work for. >  Stacy There have been a number of studies that show that hypnosis works poorly on central neuropathic pain.  When I started having central pain, I tried hypnosis with limited effect.  Hypnosis works well for for dental work and musculoskeletal pain. My confession:  I learned hypnosis in medical school and  used it in my medical practice.  I taught hypnosis to hundreds of people for pain, cigarets, gambling, nailbiting... I could go on.  One of my patients was a famous comedian.  I stole that line from him.  He was unfortunately not hypnotizable. pH
