Clinical Hypnotherapy for FND
Evidence Based FND Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for reducing the symptoms of Functional Neurological Disorders (FND).
This is evidenced by numerous formal research papers, published in medical journals.
In 2024, a report published in the General Hospital Psychiatry journal found that very basic and generic protocols in hypnotherapy helped more that 85% FND patients.
Studies show that hypnotherapy worked whether people were “hypnotisable” or not, and whether they thought it would work or not.
Hypnotherapy is quick, easy, safe and has been used by medical teams for hundreds of years to adjust the brain-body connection.
Unfortunately, most medical teams do not offer hypnotherapy, because they don’t tend to have the necessary training.
EasingFND provides hypnotherapy for FND training courses to help doctors, neurologists and psychiatrists to address this gap.
EasingFND also offers Hypnotherapy for FND, as part of the EasingFND FND Treatment Programme, to people suffering with the symptoms of FND, via online video (Zoom) calls or face-to-face in Surrey, UK.
How does hypnotherapy help FND?
In FND, the body appears to be working correctly (Functional), biologically, but messages from the brain and nervous system (Neurological) are being sent erroneously (Disorder).
FND affects the autonomous “unconscious” parts of the brain, rather than the brain areas that deal with logical and rational thoughts that we are aware of.
People with FND don’t consciously decide to create the symptoms. Just as when we normally move our hands, we don’t think about every single muscle that needs to move. It just happens.
Hypnotherapy works on the autonomous parts of the brain.
Hypnotherapy helps by retraining the autonomous parts of the brain to do the correct processes again.
Your brain still remembers those processes from when things were OK.
It’s like updating an app on your phone, to correct a software issue. It just starts working correctly again.
What does FND hypnotherapy involve?
Just as there are many types of FND, there are also many types of hypnotherapy. Every hypnotherapist and every hypnotherapy session is different.
Hypnotherapy is similar to using guided imagery, to help retrain the brain into the correct way of working.
It can be similar to dreaming or day-dreaming, and can be a powerful way to help update the processes in the autonomous brain areas.
These are powerful techniques, which is how they can help so quickly.
We recommend ensuring your hypnotherapist understand FND and is experienced in working with FND patients.
We expect clients to start noticing a difference within the first few sessions, and to make significant improvements within a few months.
