Hypnotherapy from a Top New York Psychiatrist

One of the oldest psychiatric techniques way before Freud and certainly before any of the medications has been hypnotherapy. Originated at the end of the 1700’s in Austria by Anton Mesmer, hypnosis has moved through the centuries with greater and greater attention by doctors and scientists. Basically hypnotherapy is an effective way of reaching unconscious levels in a safe manner to correct or recover certain functions.

Lost thoughts be they where someone hid the family's jewels before vacation or early childhood experiences are recovered with hypnosis. Specific conditions associated with pain, as the discomfort following shingles which may last for months, can be removed with hypnosis. Even hives and itching untreated by drugs have responded to hypnosis. Dr. Wineburg has assisted in painless childbirth by teaching the mother self-hypnosis during labor. Hypnosis is also very effective in addictive concerns. Many years of working with cigarette smokers has taught Dr. Wineburg specific ways of treating each smoker with hypnosis among other therapies.

Unlike any other form of medical procedures hypnosis is unique. Practiced by a professional it is completely safe. There has never been a fatality associated with the use of hypnosis and Dr. Wineburg himself has virtually seen never any unwanted side effects following a session.

Hypnosis techniques vary according to the suggestibility level present. This is something as different as brown or blue eyes and basically inborn to each person. Within a few moments Dr. Wineburg's suggestibility test will determine which form of hypnosis is most rapid and effective. Fortunately medical hypnosis is recognized by insurance and his patients do receive reimbursement. Because producing a trance can at times be easily done, inexperienced so-called hypnotists do present a danger to the patient. One should only seek hypnotherapy from a professional, primarily someone with a doctor's degree- a physician, or a trained psychologist. Dr. Wineburg's expertise is well recognized. He was elected President of the New York Clinical Hypnosis Society and has taught all the courses in hypnosis at the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine for many, many decades.
