Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia

Question
I'd be interested in learning about your work with persons with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Fibromyalgia (FMS)

Answer
I use a number of different hypnosis techniques with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia--two conditions that I consider rather similar. I work with getting to the source--first through general suggestions to the subconscious mind (See my GREAT ESCAPES Vol I for the Problem & Solution Finding script), and then with regression, if it seems necessary. If depression is involved--which it often is, I work with that. I work with pain control, as well, relaxation techniques to deal with stress, insomnia, releasing guilt, resentment, etc.--for often these are either contributing factors or side products. Of course, I will have done an extensive intake on current life and past events and family of origin. I often use Parts Therapy, speaking to such sub-personalities as THE ONE IN PAIN, THE DEPRESSED ONE, etc. Several scripts that work well with these situations are contained in my GREAT ESCAPES Vol. II for those working with adults/youth. I am currently creating more scripts that will help with the most common symptoms.
