In this episode, Dr. David Hanscom continues his discussion with Dr. Jeff Lazarus about medical hypnosis. Dr. Lazarus explains why chronic pain is the condition it is most effective for treating. He talks about how it can help patients focus on an outcome they want, amplify that desire in the mind, and allow them to self-regulate to feel better and achieve their desired outcome. He details the specific approach he uses in his practice. For more information, visit his website at: www.JeffLazarusMD.com
