The more effort and practice you put in, the mire instinctive your communications skills will become. Communication between people enables us to exchange information and ideas. It also helps people to feel safe, to form relationships and to develop self-esteem. Poor communication can make an individual feel worthless, vulnerable or emotionally threatened. Effective communication is direct because you go straight to your point without no one or nothing in between, so basically you just everything done without interruptions.
He was discredited in the late 1700’s. In mid 1800’s a London doctor, Dr John Elliotson (1791-1868) and a Scottish surgeon, James Esdaile (1808-1859) performed operations using mesmerisation as a successful form of anaesthesia. (Staudacher, 1996) In 1841 a British doctor named James Braid (1795-1860) developed the eye fixation technique and found his patients would follow his command whilst in this state. Braid deducted it was not magnetism that cured patients, it was suggestion. He was the first person to give mesmerism a scientific name.
Every culture has used hypnosis in one form or another. The earliest evidence was found among shamans also referred to as witch doctors, medicine men or healers. The Australian Aborigines have used a hypnotic trance state for thousands of years and still do. This can still be observed among North American Indians and also in the Hindu
Semmelweis didn’t believe those reasons, and tried to find the real cause, despite opposition from his boss. Semmelweis noticed that the death rate of mothers was higher in the wards where they were treated by medical students who had come straight from the dissecting room. He decided that students who had just been dissecting mothers who had died from the disease transferred the disease to healthy mothers. Semmelweis made all the medical students wash their hands between patients, despite the disagreement of his superior, who did not believe hand-washing had any effect. The mortality rate of mothers dropped from about 18% to 1%.
Due to the advances in scientific research it is now much easier than it was in the early studies of Mesmer, Braid and Elliotson, to examine aspects of brain activity and the physical response to the hypnotic state. The deeply relaxed feeling achieved via the hypnotic process can provide a significant beneficial state of quiet and calm which may offer an effective antidote to the stresses of a modern society and help to reduce individuals limiting negative behaviours in favour of more positive ones. Hypnosis can be defined as a complex process as it involves the coming
Complementary therapies can be a massive benefit for patients but there are always some down sides to them and do not always benefit the patient for many reasons. There are a variety of different general advantages and disadvantages of complementary therapies: One advantage of complementary therapies is the actual benefits of each therapy which are beneficial for the patients in feeling relieved from the pain they have been experiencing. Complementary therapies use only natural products, processes or methods. They rely on and tap into the body’s natural ability to heal itself which means the patients are not taking in dangerous/harmful chemicals/substances into their bodies and there are very little side effects that have been reported which would conclude in less harm to the patient. They tend to treat the whole person and not just their condition, this gives the patient a relief from other possible problems they have and reduces the chance of their condition coming back.
I knew we lived in a day where people do not really seem to care for one another, but I would have never dreamed it would have been that way in the healthcare system. Although watching Michael Moore’s film was heartbreaking, it was very well put together. His film is mainly about the American Health Care system as seen through Michael Moore’s own eyes. In the film, Moore compares the non-universal and for-profit U.S. system with public funded health care systems in Canada, United Kingdom, France and Cuba. Sicko focuses on the 250 million Americans who do not have health insurance and who have become victims of the insurance company’s fraud or being denied any kind of coverage for their medical conditions.
Why did the discoveries of the renaissance make little practical difference to medical treatment in the period C. 1500- C. 1700? Even though medical knowledge improved vastly, the discoveries of the Renaissance did not make a significant contribution to the improvement and understanding of medical treatment for many reasons. There was a plague epidemic in London in 1665, the treatments used were similar to those used in 1348. Ordinary medical treatment continued to be based on the Four Humours and people also believed that a king’s touch could cure them of tuberculosis. Charles II (1630–1685) touched over 8,000 sufferers of the disease in one year.
It is also a useful tool for pain management and can effectively reduce cravings and addictive patterns. Because it is an easy to administer procedure hypnotherapy is encouraged in the treatment of many physical and psychological problems. There are no deep or long lasting side effects either, which promotes the relaxation techniques even further. The use of relaxation is based on the recognition that stress can cause or exacerbate many different conditions. Relaxation is a part of hypnosis, getting into a state of hypnosis.
I learned that music and physical activity are the absolute best for me personally to eliminate or minimize stress in my life. I also learned which ones I may enjoy but may not eliminate stress the way exercise and music can. I never viewed stress as such a big deal. Stress is inevitable in our lives, and I am glad that I now have a tool to help aid it. Releasing endorphins is one of the most efficient ways to eliminate stress or depression.
