CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPY FOR AUTO IMMUNE DISEASES
Empower your mind. Support your body. Reclaim your well-being.
​
Autoimmune diseases affect more than one million Australians—and are a leading cause of death among women under the age of 65 in the Western world. Women are up to eight times more likely than men to develop an autoimmune illness.
There are more than 80 known autoimmune diseases, including:
-
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
-
Hashimoto’s and Grave’s Disease
-
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis)
-
Celiac Disease
-
Lupus
-
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
-
Psoriasis
-
Vitiligo
-
Sjogren’s Syndrome
What Happens in Autoimmune Disease?
Your immune system is designed to defend your body from harmful invaders. But in autoimmune conditions, the immune response becomes confused and starts attacking your own tissues. Depending on your body’s vulnerability (the “weak link”), it may target:
-
Joints
-
Skin
-
Thyroid
-
Gut
-
Brain
-
Or even multiple systems at once
Common Symptoms May Include:
-
Bloating after meals
-
Persistent skin rashes
-
Chronic joint or muscle pain
-
Fatigue and low energy
-
Hair loss
-
Memory problems or "brain fog"
-
Mood changes (anxiety, depression, irritability)
-
Resistant weight gain or loss
​
The Role of Emotional Health
Studies suggest a strong connection between trauma and the later development of autoimmune illness. Even in the absence of major trauma, the chronic stress and emotional burden of living with autoimmune symptoms can significantly affect health outcomes.
People with autoimmune conditions often report feeling:
-
Anxious
-
Angry
-
Depressed
-
Hopeless
These emotional states suppress immune function further, creating a cycle that’s difficult to break without addressing the root emotional triggers.

How Hypnotherapy Helps
One of the core goals of hypnotherapy is the restoration of the self—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
By working directly with the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy helps you:
-
Reduce the chronic stress that fuels inflammation
-
Reconnect with your body in a compassionate, supportive way
-
Shift from survival mode to healing mode
-
Release unresolved trauma and emotional pain
-
Support behaviour changes that encourage rest, nourishment, and balance
-
Cultivate calm, optimism, and self-worth—vital for any healing journey
This isn’t about “mind over matter.” It’s about the mind working with the body, creating conditions that allow healing to take place naturally and sustainably.

You don’t have to do this alone.
