Case Study

Patricia, !fty-eight, had su"ered from !bromyalgia for several years. She had tried medications, physical therapy, chiropractic, and a variety of other treatments, all without success. Upon her !rst visit for hypno-sis, I questioned her about her pain. She told me it was always with her, that she’d resolved it was “never going to go away,” and that she would “never be able to enjoy the things I once used to do.” Patricia was inac-tive because she feared exercise would only make her pain worse. She su"ered from mild depression and was under the care of a psycholo-gist, who was helping her. (Chronic pain patients have a high incidence of depression—an estimated rate of 33 percent or more.)<= Because numerous research studies have shown that treating depression is helpful in pain control, I refer patients to mental health professionals when necessary. As Patricia was already under the care of a psycholo-gist, I felt comfortable working with her and con!dent that I could o"er her tools for dealing with her pain, as well as complementing the work she was already doing in therapy.

For example, one psychological aspect of chronic pain often addressed with cognitive behavioral therapy is catastrophizing, men-tioned earlier. Patients who catastrophize have a constant and often exaggerated negative attitude. FM su"erers like Patricia often feel that their pain is intolerable, that it will never get better or go away, and that their condition is hopeless. Hypnosis, in conjunction with CBT, can be helpful in overcoming these catastrophic thoughts by suggesting ways to alter the way patients look at their pain.

After I told Patricia that I could help her, I said I had good news. Fibromyalgia is a real medical condition, not one made up by overly emotional individuals. As is the case with so many FM su"erers,


Patricia’s medical tests had all been negative for medical pathology, leading some of her doctors to tell her that her pain was only in her head. I assured Patricia that her FM was in fact real and caused by a dif-ference in the way her brain processed pain signals. Addressing these pain signals was something we could work on together during her hypnosis session.

Pain-control experts have stressed the importance of identify-ing meaningful life values that patients can choose to focus on rather than dwelling on their su!ering. To help Patricia establish an e!ective Relaxation Cue, I asked her to describe something personally meaning-ful in her life that gave her pleasure and that was also relaxing. She said she relished the time she spent with her three-year-old niece, Cathy, especially when Cathy would sit on her lap and fall asleep watching television.

Because deep relaxation is helpful for pain patients, I dedicated our "rst session to relaxing Patricia, beginning with a simple progres-sive relaxation technique to help relax her muscles and calm her mind. When she con"rmed that she felt at ease, I established her Relaxation Cue. Envision that you are sitting on the couch with your niece, Cathy, asleep on your lap. You’re watching television together. I encouraged Patricia to add in any details of her own to make the scene as calming and as vivid as possible. I then had her touch her thumb and index "nger together to anchor the imagery to a physical gesture she could repeat anytime, and I asked her to select a cue word or phrase she could repeat to help reinforce this anchor (“television with Cathy”). Finally, I o!ered her additional suggestions for comfort and then emerged her from the session. I sent Patricia home with a CD recording of our ses-sion and instructed her to listen to it at least once a day (though more often would be better), as well as to practice her Relaxation Cue several times a day.

In our next session, Patricia told me she had been using her Relaxation Cue and feeling better. I decided to introduce her to a num-ber of di!erent techniques and tools to further establish her sense of self-mastery and to decrease her catastrophizing. You have already had success in inducing a state of relaxation for yourself, I told her. This

accomplishment means you’re ready to direct your thoughts to things that have value and meaning in your life instead of focusing on feelings of dis-comfort or pessimism for the future. To further tame Patricia’s worried thoughts, I used future-oriented hypnotic imagery by having her imag-ine herself in the future doing all the activities she enjoyed, such as going to Disneyland with Cathy or out to dinner and a movie with a friend, completely pain-free.

Next, I gave Patricia suggestions to increase her regular physical activity, which I felt would be helpful for her condition and her mood. She had told me she used to enjoy swimming (a wonderful exercise for chronic pain patients), but like many chronic pain patients, she was fearful that physical activity might make her pain worse or cause her harm. Instead of having her immediately imagine herself swimming, I asked her to !rst visualize wading in the pool and enjoying the refresh-ing water. On subsequent sessions, I had her imagine increasing her activity in the pool—always feeling safe and con!dent in her ability to take care of her body and enjoying the feeling of being active.

At this point, I introduced a technique reported in the European Journal of Pain that had been very successful in helping !bromyalgia patients. I had Patricia imagine a “liquid or blue analgesic"stream”"that would" go throughout her body and “soothe the pain in the most a#ected areas, eliminate the tension and create feelings of well-being.” I added a posthypnotic suggestion that anytime Patricia felt pain, she could use her Relaxation Cue and visualize the color blue enveloping those areas of pain, as well as the comfort of having Cathy on her lap.

Patricia progressed very well with our in-o$ce sessions and lis-tened regularly to the audio recordings I made for her. She contin-ued to practice her Relaxation Cue several times a day. After working together over a two-month period, she said she felt about 70 percent better. She had been using the local pool and gradually building up her level of physical activity. Six months later, she reported feeling 80 percent improved. She had even enjoyed a !ve-and-a-half-hour day at Disneyland with her niece.
