Hypnotherapy & Healing
The Key Questions:
1: Can our emotions create actual

physiological change and disease?
2: And if so, by which means or

mechanism might we be able to
restore health / balance to our body?
Emotions = Reaction
 Stress or anxiety – (Shortness of breath, heart

palpitation, dizziness)
 Intense Fear & Anger – (Frequent urination or

diarrhea, sweating, tremors and twitches)
 Sadness & Hopelessness – (Fatigue, Insomnia)
 Guilt, Shame & Embarrassment – (stomach

upset, nausea, blushing, hot flashes)
How Life Events can Affect You?
Events Disrupting Good Physical signs emotional

Emotional Health: health is out of balance:
 Being laid off / job promotion  Headaches, sweating,
 A child leave or return home heart palpitation
 Death of a loved one  Back pain /Stiff neck
 Getting divorced or married  Constipation or diarrhea
 Having a baby  Extreme fatigue
 Illness or an injury  High blood pressure
 Money problems  Insomnia
 Moving to a new home  Upset stomach
 Weight gain or loss
Hearing Your Body's Message
 Stomach and digestion are your physical assimilation

process. Digestive problems occur when you have an
inability to 'digest' or absorb what is going on in your
environment or inside your head or heart.
 Chronic pain: Resentment and bitterness cause inflammation

and pain. Stubborn, inflexible resentment goes to the knees and
joints--the parts of your body designed to be flexible. Arthritis is
bottled-up hurt.
 Cancer is a deep secret, hatred, guilt, or grief 'eating away' at

you. Breast and uterine cancer reveals a lack of nurturing or
self-nurturing in your life, or an inability to nurture others.
(Excerpt from Louis Hey – Heal Your Body) www.AvinoamLerner.com

The Science of PsychoNeuroImmunology (PNI)
 The term Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) was

coined by Dr. Robert Ader in 1975.
 PNI is the study of the interaction between

psychological processes (primarily stress) and the
nervous and immune systems of the human body.
 PNI = Mind-Body Medicine is an approach to healing

that harnesses the power of thoughts, beliefs, and
emotions to affect health positively (Cassileth 1998)
The Problem with the PNI Approach to Illness
 PNI or Mind-body approach may unintentionally

create the notion that people are responsible for their
illnesses because they lack the proper mental
attitude; aside from being scientifically inaccurate,
such blame can induce feelings of distress and guilt
(Castleman 1996).
 Moreover, if this is so, then they should easily be

able to change this negative behavior.
Bridging Science & Healing
Introducing
“Immersive – Healing”
An advanced Mind-Body model

to healing chronic Illness and cancer,
rooted in Immunotherapeutic approach.
What is Immunotherapy ?
 Immunotherapy is a therapy designed to stimulates,

and/or restores the immune-system in people
affected by disease through either conventional
treatments and/or integrative health care therapies.
- Lise Alschuler, ND, & Karolyn Gazella, The Definitive Guide to Cancer
The 3 Premises to Immunotherapeutic Approach
Premise # 1:
The body’s natural immune-system is

designed to defend against all illnesses,
cancer and chronic illness included.
Natural killer cells (or NK cells) are a type of cells that constitute
a major component of the innate immune system.
Premise # 2:
Harmful states of mind (primarily stress, anger,

hopelessness, terror, grief over depravation,
guilt, shame, etc’) have shown to effect and
suppress the immune system.
Negative emotions, such as anger and cynical hostility, have also

been shown to decrease Natural killer cells (or NK cells) activity
(Miller et al. 1999) (williams & schneiderman, 2002)
Premise # 3:
If these harmful states of mind can be

resolved and cleansed, the immune
response can be revived and cancer
prevented or healed.
(Kiecolt-Glaser and Glaser 1999)
(HOW BIG IS YOUR SACK OF EMOTIONAL PAIN?)

Where Does Healing Takes Place?
 The Human Mind: a mechanism whose parts are

split mostly between two agencies; the conscious
and subconscious minds.
 The Subconscious Mind: The single most powerful

goal achieving agency known to man.
 The subconscious is the level at which all running

programs of individual nature are accessible for

How Immersive-Healing Differ from Psychotherapy?
 Conscious VS Subconscious
 External VS Internal
 Intellectual VS Experiential
 Incubating VS Immediate
The Placebo Effect – Our Ally
 The Placebo effect is the tendency of any treatment,

even an inert or ineffective one, to exhibit results simply
because the recipient believes that it will work.
 The Nocebo effect is the causation of sickness (or death)

by expectations of sickness (or death) and by associated
emotional states.
 The pivotal understanding in mind-body healing is that

you must actually believe enough in the possibility of
healing to tell yourself so with conviction.
Harnessing the Power of the Placebo Effect
 Hypnosis is a heightened state of belief. Hypnosis is

the intentional activation of the placebo effect.
 This means bypassing your "critical faculty", the

conscious mind, and painting a healing picture in
your subconscious-mind.
 Your subconscious-mind will transmit the imagined

outcome via your nervous system to your body
which will manifest it in conformance with your
thinking.
Concluding Remarks
 The PNI is a Mind-Body approach which is a truly holistic.
 Immersive-Healing is an advanced Mind-Body approach

to healing cancer and chronic illness, rooted in PNI. It can
be practiced in conjunction with conventional medical
treatment.
 Talk to your medical practitioner about PNI. Tell them it is

primarily about maintaining a healthy lifestyle and healing
internal emotional turmoil and conflict such as guilt,
shame, fear, depravation and stress.
