Diabetes is well-known as the most difficult chronic medical condition to manage, requiring intense effort on the part of the
patient on a daily and even hourly basis. Emotional issues that are unresolved can present barriers to effective diabetes self-
care. Hypnotherapy for people with diabetes can include the following:
- Uncovering and resolving grief, anger, sadness and fear post-diagnosis
- Motivation to perform self-care
- Motivation to exercise, perform blood testing, etc.
- The experience of "acceptance" --- how would it feel and what would your daily life be like if and when you have complete
acceptance of diabetes
- Fear of injections
- Fear of insulin reactions
- Desensitization of carbohydrate cravings
- Experiencing yourself as "healed," and whole, despite diabetes
