The first technique involves growing an analgesic glove around one hand, and then wherever this glove touches, the analgesia can flow into that area, like a mist of numbness. The glove can be created by the client sitting quietly for a while, just imagining the glove growing around their hand. Can you imagine the pleasant surprise when it actually works, and an area becomes numb after being touched by this glove!

The second technique involves switching off nerves. The client imagines a bank of switches and keeps on switching them off until the pain has completely gone out.

Sharon found that after her extensive dental work, she needed no other pain killers than these two techniques. She was delighted. She was so amazed at her experience with hypnotherapy, she just had to phone me, and then she sent me this e-mail.

Dear Olivia,

Since I was the age of 8 or 9 I have been terrified of dentists and needles, and I have to say sceptical of Hypnotherapy, I couldn't quite grasp how someone could get into my mind and tell me everything was going to be o.k. but here I am at 52 years of age saying to you after 2 visits, thank you for getting into my mind and allowing me to go to the Dentist and booking a consultant all in 1 week and having all my teeth out. I was under anesthetic at 10am out at 12.30 an over night stay and back home the day after. I used no pain killers! I am a different woman, my whole outlook on life has changed and boy just wait till I get my new teeth I am going to show the world what a real smile is all about. Without you Olivia I could never have done it, and I am indebted to you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sharon Noble.
