Using hypnotherapy for psoriasis can have incredible results for some sufferers. We have been working with psoriasis for over 10 years and during that time we have helped over 100 people with psoriasis.

"We believe that we can help around 50% of clients using hypnotherapy for psoriasis. Our experience has given us a deep understanding of the things that can trigger, and usually do, the start of psoriasis."

Common psoriasis traits and feelings

It is quite common for a client with psoriasis to feel that they are:

- Not good enough

- Disgusting

- Ugly

- Useless

- Worthless

The psoriasis sufferer often identifies themselves with the psoriasis and believe that they will never get rid of it. It is these feelings and beliefs that maintain and hamper any recovery. Removal of these beliefs is paramount to achieving a successful outcome for the client.

“Most of the clients I see have a deep anger. Which can be self-directed, at something external and normally at the psoriasis as well.”

Paul Howard, psoriasis specialist.

We use hypnotherapy for psoriasis to create a change in the beliefs and feelings that clients hold about themselves at a subconscious level. We also lessen the effects of any trauma or stressful events that have happened in the past, by allowing the client to reassess the events, processing it with their adult mind. the signals that are sent to your skin it has been shown in other studies to be very effective with psoriasis see below. For our clients that have used our programme have at the least been able to be far more relaxed about their Psoriasis.

Hypnotherapy can also help them to “almost” forget about their condition. It also helps to reduce the redness which helps to reduce the itching that people often experience. Your skin is the largest organ in your body and as an organ, it is controlled completely by your sub-conscious mind.

As an example, if you were to become embarrassed the skin on your face will become red with the increased blood flow to the skin.  If I asked you to do that with your conscious mind you could not do it. The same thing happens during illness and grief where a wan and pale expression is quite common.

Research on hypnotherapy for psoriasis

In our internal research that we conducted in 2003 we achieved a 50% clear up rate but only with plaque psoriasis. We had little or no effect on guttee psoriasis. However, in virtually all the subjects we achieved significant shifts in the perceptions of themselves and their psoriasis. Which in itself is a significant change.
