Pain - Cries for Help from the Body

Hypnosystemic Pain Therapy

Seemann, H. (2018) Pain - Cries for Help from the Body. Hypnosystemic Pain Therapy. Series: Leben lernen. Klett-Cotta, Stuttgart.

We know more than ever about the neurobiological, medical, and psychotherapeutic aspects of chronic pain. But have we also understood what it is trying to tell us? Hanne Seemann has been researching, treating, and teaching about psychosomatic pain in children and adults for three decades. In this comprehensive book, which does not shy away from critically engaging with mainstream pain therapy, she concludes: Chronic pain can only be understood systemically. The body communicates a disruption in a patient's lifestyle and environment through pain, which must be individually traced. The hypnosystemic approach provides the appropriate concepts and practical therapy methods to effectively address functional headaches and back pain, fibromyalgia, and migraines.

- A compelling plea for the need to rethink pain therapy.

- The various pain syndromes and their treatments are presented in detail.

- With a comprehensive practical section on hypnosystemic therapy.
