On-demand CPD – Chronic Pain Management and Pure Hypnosis

£19.95

(Approx 20 minutes)

This on demand CPD is designed specifically for Solution Focused Hypnotherapists who want a deeper understanding of chronic pain from both a neuroscience and therapeutic perspective. It explores how modern pain science aligns with Solution Focused Hypnotherapy principles and how hypnosis can support clients experiencing persistent pain conditions.

The training explains chronic pain using contemporary neuroscience, helping practitioners move beyond outdated tissue damage models and towards an understanding of pain as a protective output generated by the brain and nervous system.

The CPD covers:

• The neuroscience of chronic pain and sensitisation
• Predictive processing and how expectation shapes pain perception
• The role of attention, fear and emotion in amplifying pain
• Basic pain physiology and descending inhibitory pathways
• The role of serotonin, endogenous opioids and stress regulation
• Neuroplasticity and learned pain patterns
• How hypnosis alters prediction, expectation and emotional processing
• Practical Solution Focused approaches to chronic pain management

The course demonstrates how Solution Focused Hypnotherapists can integrate psychoeducation, future focused language, reframing and hypnosis to reduce perceived threat and support nervous system regulation.
