Wes Coons interviews hypnotherapist Sarah Michelle about using hypnosis to relieve chronic pain and reprogram the brain's response to pain signals.

Healing Chronic Pain with Hypnosis: Reprogramming the Brain with Sarah Michelle Host Wes Coons opens with affirmations and introduces hypnotherapist and nutritional practitioner Sarah Michelle, who specializes in relieving chronic pain.

She contrasts stage hypnosis with therapeutic work and describes hypnosis as a focused, relaxed state similar to being absorbed in a movie, often requiring multiple sessions to uncover deeper beliefs; she also uses Integral Eye Movement Therapy to reduce emotional charge in memories.
