A grounded introduction to how the mind shapes the experience of pain
What if pain is not only a physical signal — but an experience we can learn to influence?
Join world renowned medical hypnotherapist, Sharon Waxkirsh, whose work in hypnosis & hypnoanalgesia explores the limits — and possibilities — of how pain is experienced. Sharon has worked with doctors and dentists around the world regarding the utilization of hypnosis as the sole form of anesthetic for surgical procedures.
Sharon has even been filmed utilizing self-hypnosis for removal of her wisdom tooth.
If you could control how you feel pain during a surgery, imagine the level of mind - body control you could develop with this deep hypnotic ability.
We’ll gently demystify hypnosis, address common misconceptions, and offer a clear, grounded look at what’s possible — without hype or mysticism.
Ideal for the curious, the skeptical, and anyone interested in new approaches to healing.
