Recovery story: How Janalyssa found relief and control

I don’t work (unable to) and have more bad than good days, some crippling! I have also spent a lot of unnecessary time and thousands of dollars on specialist appointments, treatments and medications, some have helped but mostly it’s a bandaid result. The problem still remains along with the suffering.

Understanding the back brain connection

What Mindset Health has done for me is given me the education I’ve not received from specialists about my brain to gut connection and brain to back connection, the ‘message bank’ for our pain responses. By understanding why our body responds to pain, it allows us to self regulate and manage the responses. By desensitising our emotional and physical responses we can help to improve our outcomes, little by little.

The experience of clinical hypnosis

The hypnosis sessions can be done at your own leisure in your own personal space - ‘our safe space’, so far more effective than in a practice room with someone you don’t know or maybe don’t feel comfortable enough to really relax with.

The hypnosis sessions have significantly reduced my anxiety attacks and levels, they’ve taught me how to control my emotions at the time of relaxing and releasing tension, something I wasn’t able to achieve before.

On the road to recovery

My pain is still there but I understand it more now so it doesn’t seam to escalate as rapidly as before and I know that my body still does actually work, that I’m not going to ‘break’ if I do activity.

It’s the little act of achieving small goals, one day at a time that really matters and knowing I can accomplish relaxation if I put my mind into the right state which in turn will make significant changes to my pain levels.

I really believe Mindset Health is a good place to start, whether it’s with the Nerva IBS app or the Relio back pain app, both have helped me to take back control.
